  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.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_code

    The DOT code [1] is an alphanumeric character sequence molded into the sidewall of the tire and allows the identification of the tire and its age. The code is mandated by the U.S. Department of Transportation [2] but is used worldwide.

As tires are used, the tread is worn off, limiting its effectiveness in providing traction. A worn tire can often be retreaded . The word tread is often used casually to refer to the pattern of grooves molded into the rubber ...

  6. Tire uniformity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_uniformity

    Tire forces are divided into three axes: radial, lateral, and tangential (or fore-aft). The radial axis runs from the tire center toward the tread, and is the vertical axis running from the roadway through the tire center toward the vehicle. This axis supports the vehicle's weight. The lateral axis runs sideways across the tread.

  7. Retread - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retread

    Retread, also known as "recap", or a "remold" is a re-manufacturing process for tires that replace the tread on worn tires. [1][2] Retreading is applied to casings of spent tires that have been inspected and repaired. [3] It preserves about 90% of the material in spent tires and the material cost is about 20% compared to manufacturing a new one.
