What else can I help you with?
What is the one track?
Track is the dimension from the centerline of the tire tread on one tire to the centerline of the tire tread on the opposite tire on the same end of the vehicle, front track or rear track.
What is track on the car?
Track is the dimension from the centerline of the tire tread on one tire to the centerline of the tire tread on the opposite tire on the same end of the vehicle, front track or rear track.
Does the tread pattern of a tire need to match the others if you want to change one?
No, that is not necessary. Just make sure you install exactly the same size tire on all 4 wheels.
What is Rear track of a car?
Track is the dimension from the centerline of the tire tread on one tire to the centerline of the tire tread on the opposite tire on the same end of the vehicle, front track or rear track. Wheelbase is the dimension from the centerline of the front tire to the centerline of the rear tire.
What would cause one tire to lose tread and not the rest?
heat
Why do racing cars not have treads?
A tire with a tread has less contact with the road surface than one with no tread. When racing you want to maintain as must tire surface in contact with the racing surface as possible.
What does the tread wear number mean on a tyre?
The tread wear number on a tire, part of the Uniform Tire Quality Grading (UTQG) system, indicates the expected longevity of the tire's tread compared to a reference tire. A higher number signifies a longer tread life; for example, a tire rated at 400 should last twice as long as one rated at 200. However, actual wear can vary based on driving conditions, maintenance, and tire usage. It's essential to consider this number alongside other factors like traction and temperature ratings for a comprehensive evaluation of tire performance.
An asymmetrical tire has a tread designs that is different from one side to the other true or false?
False
What is improper wear on tire tread?
Any wear that is more obvious in one area or on one side is improper.
Do tires have to have the same tread pattern?
No. It depends on the purpose of a tyre e.g. one designed for use for high performance will have smaller void ratios to ensure more rubber is in contact with the road. Related link:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tires#Tread
Can an accident to the rear tire cause a bad transfer case?
If the vehicle is all wheel drive, having one tire that is smaller than the others (different size or less tread) can damage a transfer case.If the vehicle is all wheel drive, having one tire that is smaller than the others (different size or less tread) can damage a transfer case.
Is it possible to rotate tires on staggered wheels if you just rotate the fronts with the fronts and rears with the rears?
Well, the answer is maybe - it depends on the type of tire you are using. Some tires are either asymmetrical or unidirectional. Asymmetrical tires have a tread pattern such that the tire has a distinct "outside" and "inside" - that is, the tire must be mounted such that the outside part of the tread faces the outside of the wheel. These tires can rotate in either direction. Unidirectional tires have a tread pattern that requires the tire to rotate in one direction only. This type of pattern may help direct water better and can be seen on many wet-weather specific tires. Note the unidirectional tire has a tread pattern that will funnel water away when rotating in one direction and suck water in when rotating in the "wrong" direction. So you can "rotate" or swap your fronts and rears on a staggered fitment if you are using universal or asymmetrical treat patterns, but not if you are using unidirectional tread patterns. Just swapping the front wheels left to right might help a little - especially if your car has different alignment specs for the left and right, but it's unlikely to be of significant benefit compared to being able to rotate all four wheels.
