Best Answer

The threads inside a tyre help to give the rubber more strength, particulary tensile strength.

Or do you mean treads?

How do you measure the tread depth for motorcycle tires?

You can use a penny for that. Put in between the threads then mark and measure the depth on the penny.


Are radial tires better then conventional tires?

Bias ply (conventional?) tires are made with nylon threads layered at a "biased" angle. Radial tires use the same type ply configuration just using steel threads instead of nylon. The invention of radials was huge because more load could be handled by a lighter tire. The steel vs. its load is much lighter than the nylon because it takes more ply of nylon for the same load. **up to a point**. With our current tires a nylon bias ply is better for heavier loads on commercial equipment and trailers because at those weights they are just tougher and the extra ply weight is not noticed at lower speeds.


Do your tires touch the ground when you're hydroplaning?

No, a thin layer of water builds up between the tires and the road, so the car looses contact, a tyre has threads built into it to push and drain water from beneath the tyre, thats why it is usually when tyres are worn bare that aquaplaning occurs.

Should the new tires put on in front or on the back?

You put them wherever they are needed. If the threads are bare then they need replacing by law. See a car professional. If possible, put the best tires at the back. When braking(hard), the weight at the rear of the car will be momentarily reduced, making it easier for those wheels to break free and skid. By having the tires with the best grip at the rear you reduce that risk a little.
