Tread Pattern
The tread pattern is the arrangement of grooves, blocks, and sipes on the tyre's contact surface. Patterns can be symmetrical, asymmetric, or directional, each offering different handling and drainage characteristics. The tread pattern is engineered to balance grip, water evacuation, noise levels, and wear life for the tyre's intended use.
