The Effect of Tire's Tread Depth
The deeper the pattern, the greater the elastic deformation of the block on the ground, and the rolling resistance formed by the tire elastic hysteresis loss will increase accordingly. The deeper pattern is not conducive to the heat dissipation of the tire, which makes the tire temperature rise faster, and the root of the pattern is easy to tear and fall off due to severe punishment. Too shallow pattern not only affects its water storage and drainage capacity, but also easily produces "water skiing" that affects driving safety. It also highlights the slippage of light tread tires, thereby deteriorating vehicle performance.
Therefore, too deep or shallow tread patterns are not good. The tread pattern will become smaller and smaller in use. It is suggested to replace the wheelchair tires while those patterns that touch the ground are flattened.
