YOGYAKARTA - There are several types of car tires that car owners need to know. In addition to varying sizes of tires, the pattern or flow of car tires is also different. Each type of car tread has different advantages, so it must be adjusted to the needs of its users.

Car tires are an important component that supports the performance and convenience of car use. One of the important elements that must be considered when buying car tires is the flow or the design of the tread. This tire discharge serves as grip or creates precision when the car drives on a slippery road. In addition, tire treads also play a more effective role in disposing of water or sand when the car passes through a sandy or slippery road.

With the flow on the tires, the car can pass through slippery and sandy terrain well so as to avoid the risk of accidents. So what types of car tire treads must be understood?

Each car tire manufacturer produces tires with different landed designs. In general, there are three types of car tire treads that are often used. The following are the types of car tire treads along with their respective advantages and disadvantages.

The asymmetric pattern is the site of a car tire with a different design on both sides of the tire. The design of this site will show you like two different tires combined into one. The pattern of the groove or ulir of the tires on the outside and the inside is not the same.

On this type of site, generally the inner side has more and more complex threads. While the outer side of the tires is designed with less or simpler patterns. This tire pattern has special functions both in complicated and simple ulir.

The design of a complicated or crowded site aims to increase the grip's ability to be stronger when going through a wet or slippery road. While the site pattern that is minimal or simple on the outside is useful for creating good acceleration in the speed of tires on the road surface.

Tires with this site are very useful when driving a car on the road at high speed, because they have a strong grip. However, make sure the installation of these tires does not reverse because the outside cannot be installed on the inside.

Tires with symmetrical treads are the opposite of an asymmetric pattern. This site design is marked by the presence of the outermost rubber tread or surface on the tires that are symmetrically shaped on both sides.

This symmetric ulir pattern is found on the inside and the outside around the tires and along the tread. In addition, the pattern design is also applied to other tire blocks. Tires with this site are generally used in the latest model cars.

Many car owners who use this site the tires produce softer sounds. So the tire movement does not produce noisy sounds so that users are more comfortable when driving a car. In addition, the design of the ulir, which is like waves, serves to dispose of water so that the tire remains stable on the road surface. Symmetric landed tires can be used for different directions.

This type of tire has a site that is dominated by shape V or an arrow direction pattern. On this tire there are also arrow marks as a direction for rotation on the sides of the tires. Therefore, users must pay attention to the direction of the appointment so that the tire installation can be right. However, this tire is flexible to be installed anywhere or with a free rotation.

Tires with a directional pattern are favored because they have the ability to maintain the pace of the car. This landed pattern is designed to be able to break the water effectively so as to minimize the risk of aquaplanting while driving on a wet road. In addition, this tire also has good strength to grip dry roads.

Such is the review of the types of car tires that four-wheeled vehicle owners must understand. With their respective advantages and disadvantages, car owners should use tires according to their needs.
