The Tread Pattern Of Off-road Tires Is Different From Ordinary Tires

1. Different pattern areas
The characteristics of off-road patterns are that the pattern grooves are wide and deep, the pattern contact area is small, and the grip is large. According to tests, on muddy roads, the traction of vehicles of the same model using off-road tread wheels can reach 1.5 times that of ordinary tread wheels. The characteristic of the transverse pattern is that the tread is horizontally continuous and longitudinally discontinuous. It is suitable for use on medium-sized or heavy-duty trucks with relatively large traction on general hard roads.

2. Different friction forces
Off-road pattern tires have large contact pressure and rolling resistance due to the tread blocks. Long-term driving on good hard roads will increase tire wear, increase fuel consumption, and cause severe vehicle driving vibration, so they are suitable for use on rough roads, soft dirt roads, and For use in roadless areas. Ordinary tire patterns are used to improve the tread's ground contact elasticity, and the tangential force between the tread and the road surface is smaller than that of off-road vehicle tires.

3. Different pattern shapes
The tire tread pattern mainly improves the driving performance of the tire and also enhances its appearance. Off-road vehicle tires have a road pattern in the middle of the tread and off-road patterns on both sides, which is a mixed pattern. The pattern contact area accounts for 60% to 70% of the total running surface area; ordinary tires are suitable for off-road driving without road conditions. Pattern, also known as road tread pattern, its pattern block area accounts for 4U% -6U% of the total tire crown area.
