  2. Tire maintenance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_maintenance

    The chief reason for tire replacement is friction from moving contact with road surfaces, causing the tread on the outer perimeter of tires to eventually wear away. When the tread depth becomes too shallow, like for example below 3.2 mm (4/32 in), the tire is worn out and should be replaced.

  3. Off-road tire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off-road_tire

    Off-road cycle tires, colloquially called knobbies, [4] may be found on motocross and enduro motorcycles, ATVs, and mountain bikes. [1] Tires for single-track vehicles and ATVs have a curved profile such that some tread only contacts the ground during turning. Depending on the model of tire, an off-road capable tire may or may not be approved ...

  4. Tire tread - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_tread

    Design of tire tread has an effect upon noise generated, especially at freeway speeds. [1] 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.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorcycle_tyre

    As the early motorcycle industry progressed, larger tyre sizes accompanied larger engine displacements, so that by 1909–1914, 2 + 14 in (57 mm) section, 26 in (660 mm) diameter tyres were used on 250 to 350 cc (15 to 21 cu in) motorcycles, and 2 + 3 ⁄ 8 to 2 + 1 ⁄ 2 in (60 to 64 mm) section tyres appeared on motorcycles with ...

  6. Uniform Tire Quality Grading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Tire_Quality_Grading

    Uniform Tire Quality Grading, commonly abbreviated as UTQG, is a set of standards for passenger car tires that measures a tire's treadwear, temperature resistance and traction. The UTQG was created by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in 1978, a branch of the United States Department of Transportation (DOT). [ 1 ]

  7. Racing slick - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racing_slick

    By eliminating any grooves cut into the tread, such tyres provide the largest possible contact patch to the road, [5] and maximize dry traction for any given tyre dimension. Slick tyres are used on race tracks and in road racing , where acceleration, steering and braking require maximum traction from each wheel.
