Truck tire pattern classification
1. Bar pattern. Advantages: large sideside resistance, excellent steering and safety performance, small vibration, comfortable driving. Disadvantages: poor braking and driving performance, groove fatigue. Mainly used in truck steering wheels and road conditions are good.
2. Horizontal pattern. Advantages: Excellent driving and braking performance, can adapt to poor road surface. Disadvantages: relatively large rolling resistance (low fuel saving efficiency), relatively low resistance to sideslip. Mainly used in truck brake wheels and poor road conditions.
3. Mixed stripes and horizontal patterns. It can be said that this tire has the advantages of strip pattern and horizontal pattern, and considers braking performance while ensuring steering performance, and can adapt to various road surfaces. The disadvantage is that this combination is easy to cause serious wear at the end of the transverse pattern. Mainly used in cargo trucks.
4. Block pattern. Advantages: Excellent propulsion and braking performance, good use effect on snow and muddy roads. Disadvantages: Faster wear and greater rolling resistance than bar pattern and transverse grain. Mainly used in some cold, desert or off-road environment and other transport conditions are very poor areas.
5. Asymmetrical tires. Advantages: It can achieve a unified grounding area, and has good wear resistance and braking performance. Disadvantages: Poor compatibility with other sizes of tires, not much use. Mainly used in cars, a small number of light trucks used.
