Did you know that tread design has a great impact on how your tyre performs on road, a good tread design ensures that tyres have a great grip on the road, it is able to expulse water and lets you enjoy a comfortable ride? In fact, there are different types of tread pattern for summer tyres and winter tyres, so you must know how to choose the right type of tread pattern.Here we will be discussing the two basic types of the tread design. These two tread designs have two different benefits, one enhances the fuel efficient and the other is use for increased traction.
If you are planning to buy a new set of tyres it's important that you consider the following before buying a tyre and also the tread designs should be chosen as per the operational condition and the vehicle’s need.
So, here is the basic understanding of the two types:
Rib Tread Design- If you find grooves on the tyres are placed parallel to the bead leading to the formation of a bead-like structure then you have the rib tread design. These grooves depth ranges from 11/32nds to 23/32 nds
Such a tread pattern is the perfect choice for those who are looking for a fuel efficient but may be these rib patterned tyres are not snowed friendly and may not offer good snow traction. They are usually found on the steering axle of tractor or truck or you may find it on the other free rolling axles like dollies, pusher axles, trailers etc.
The figure will help you understand how tread pattern looks like:


Block or Lug Tread Design- In clock deign the grooves are placed laterally are at right angle to the bead, their depth range from 14/32nds to 32/32 nds. These tread designs are best for those who are looking for mileage and traction. As far as their position is concerned they are found on torque or drive axle.
