  2. Aquaplaning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquaplaning

    Tire tread wear: Worn tires will aquaplane more easily for lack of tread depth. Half-worn treads result in aquaplaning about 4.8–6.4 km/h (3–4 mph) lower than with full-tread tires. [6] Tire inflation pressure: Underinflation can cause a tire to deflect inward, raising the tire center and preventing the tread from clearing water.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_tire

    Aircraft tires generally operate at high pressures, up to 200 psi (14 bar; 1,400 kPa) for airliners, [2] and even higher for business jets [citation needed].The main landing gear on the Concorde was typically inflated to 232 psi (16.0 bar), whilst its tail bumper gear tires were as high as 294 psi (20.3 bar). [3]

  4. Bar grip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bar_grip

    The poor water clearance of bar grips may limit their performance on very wet mud. With later patterns, such as the NATO, water may be squeezed out from between the blocks, leaving the mud drier and firmer. As the bar grip gives no escape for this water, they may retain a layer of water-lubricated mud like quicksand that remains extremely slippery.

  6. Airfield rubber removal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airfield_rubber_removal

    The contributing factors for viscous hydroplaning are a damp or wet pavement, medium to high speed, poor pavement texture, and worn tire tread. If a runway has good microtexture and grooving and the aircraft tires have a good tread design, viscous hydroplaning could be alleviated.(NTSB, p.92) Macrotexture is visible to the naked eye.

  7. Tire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire

    The tread pattern is characterized by a system of circumferential grooves, lateral sipes, and slots for road tires [26] or a system of lugs and voids for tires designed for soft terrain or snow. Grooves run circumferentially around the tire and are needed to channel away water.

    Gillis is now the star and co-creator (with Steve Gerben, who co-stars, and McKeever, who directs) of "Tires," a six-episode Netflix comedy that has already been renewed for a second season.

  9. Tire tread - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_tread

    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, but those grooves are correctly called the tread pattern, or simply the pattern. The grooves are not the tread, they are ...
