The area of tread contact is called the "contact patch." This is the portion of a tire that makes contact with the road surface, and it plays a crucial role in traction, handling, and overall vehicle performance. The size and shape of the contact patch can vary depending on factors like tire pressure, load, and tire design. Proper maintenance and understanding of the contact patch are essential for safe driving and tire longevity.

What is a tire tread rating?
The tread of a tire or track refers to the rubber on its circumference that makes contact with the road. As tires are used , the tread is worn off , limiting its effectiveness in providing traction. A worn tire tread can often be retreaded. The word tread is often used incorrectly to refer to the pattern of grooves cut into the rubber . Those grooves are correctly called the tread pattern, or simply the pattern .

How does a car hydroplane?
Hydroplaning occurs when the tires' tread is unable to expel enough water to maintain a rubber contact patch on the road. The function of tread is to allow the "high" part of the tread pattern to cut through by forcing water (and other road grit) into channels and grooves surrounding the tread blocks. When the water gets too deep for the tread grooves to cut through it and force it between the tread blocks, the "high part" of the tread blocks lose contact with the pavement and looses traction by hydroplaning.
