The
Tread
rubber manufacturers
of
a tire or track refers to the rubber on its circumference that
makes contact with the road. As tires are used, the tread is worn
off, limiting its effectiveness in providing traction. A worn
tire tread can often be retreaded. The word Precured
Tread rubber
is often used incorrectly to refer to the
pattern of grooves cut into the rubber. Those grooves are correctly
called the tread pattern, or simply the pattern.The grooves in
the rubber are designed to allow water to be expelled from beneath
the tire and prevent hydroplaning. The proportion of rubber to
air space on the road surface directly affects its traction. Design
of tire tread has an impact upon noise generated, especially at
freeway speeds. Generally there is a tradeoff of tread friction
capability; deeper patterns often enhance safety, but simpler
designs are less costly to produce and actually may afford some
roadway noise mitigation.
