2. Grouser - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grouser

   This is done by increasing contact with the ground with protrusions, similar to conventional tire treads, and analogous to athletes' cleated shoes. On tanks and armoured vehicles, grousers are usually pads attached to the tracks; but on construction vehicles they may take the form of flat plates or bars. [1]

3. Continuous track - Wikipedia

   The twin-cylinder steam engine could be used either to drive the plough winch or to drive the vehicle along, at a speed of up to 150 cm/min (5 ft/min). Although the machine weighed 30 tons complete with 6 tons of fuel, its ground pressure was only 869 kg/m 2 (178 lb/sq ft), considerably less than a man.

4. Tire tread - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_tread

   Mountain bike and some motorcycle tires feature tread similar to off-road tires used on cars and trucks but may sometimes include an unbroken tread that runs along its center. This feature provides better traction and lower noise on asphalt at high speed and on high tire pressure, but retains the ability to provide grip on a soft or loose ...

5. Off-road tire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off-road_tire

   Off-road tires are typically radials [2] with thick, deep tread. On dirt surfaces, the exposed edges of the tread dig into soft ground to give more traction than rolling friction alone, analogous to the traction provided by cleated shoes. These off-road tires provide their maximum grip on loose surfaces, but on paved surfaces the smaller ...

6. Racing slick - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racing_slick

   The first drag racing slick was developed by M&H Tires (Marvin & Harry Tires) in the early 1950s. It was the only company in the world that produced and sold original drag racing tyres. Drag racing slicks vary in size, from slicks used on motorcycles to very wide ones used on "top fuel" dragsters.

   They were used on the first production motorcycle, the 1894–1897 Hildebrand & Wolfmüller, and have been on nearly all production and special motorcycles ever since. [5] [6] During this period tyre sizes were usually 22 to 28 inches (560 to 710 mm) diameter and 1 + 1 ⁄ 2 to 2 in (38 to 51 mm) wide. [6] A: Typical outer casing of a tyre.
