tread pattern
Rubber grip design
The tread pattern is the arrangement of grooves, channels, and raised blocks on a tire's surface that contacts the road.
Different patterns optimize for specific conditions—deep grooves channel water away to prevent hydroplaning, while aggressive blocks grip loose surfaces like mud or snow.
The worn tread pattern showed the tires needed replacing.
