The Reason Of You Should Use Tire Tread Depth Gauge

Tire as a vehicle has a very important role.What is the carrier of the tire? Naturally, it is a pattern. Braking, acceleration, steering and so on between the tire and the ground are achieved by the pattern on the tire, and the influence of the tire pattern on the tire is huge.

Why does the depth of the pattern affect the tire much?

1. It has a great impact on fuel consumption.

Tires are made of rubber, and things made of rubber are elastic. The deeper the tire pattern, the greater the elasticity of the pattern and the ground, the greater the rolling resistance caused by the offset elasticity, the larger the rolling resistance leads to an increase in the output of energy, and the output of more energy requires more fuel consumption. It seems that the light pattern of tires is conducive to fuel saving, but if the tire pattern is too shallow, the ability to grasp the ground will become worse, easy to slip, which is not conducive to the safe driving of the car.

2. It has an effect on the drainage performance

The vehicle driving on the road with water or rain and snow, the tire pattern will store water and drainage, when the tire pattern is too shallow, the vehicle driving in the above environment will have a high probability of water slip phenomenon, water slip phenomenon is equivalent to walking on the ice in unpatterned shoes, very unsafe. Tire depth pattern can increase friction, while improving the drainage capacity of the tire to ensure safe driving.

3. It has an effect on heat dissipation

During the driving process of the car, the tires will rub against the ground violently, and the friction will generate heat. During high-speed and long-term driving, the tires will generate a lot of heat. If the tire pattern is too deep, the tire itself cannot dissipate heat in time. Accelerating the aging of tires, greatly shortening the life of tires, and in serious cases, causing tire blowouts, tearing and other phenomena, affecting the life safety of drivers and passengers. The tire needs good heat dissipation performance, and the pattern should not be too deep.

4. The deeper the tire pattern the better the handling performance of the tire, but the braking performance will be worse.

The pattern of the tire and the ground directly produce force. Under the driving force, braking force and other forces between the tire and the ground, the tire will produce a large deformation, and the large harmful force will be offset by the elasticity of the rubber. The tire will have a more sensitive response to the ground, the deeper the pattern, the smaller the contact area between the tire and the ground, the smaller the friction between the tire and the ground, the longer the braking time and the worse the
