tire track
Wheel's dirt signature
A tire track is the impression or mark left by a vehicle's tire on a surface—mud, snow, sand, or pavement.
Tire tracks reveal where a vehicle has been and sometimes identify specific tires by their tread pattern: Police matched the tire tracks to the suspect's truck.
The phrase often appears in the plural since vehicles leave parallel impressions.
