Tire grooves channel and disperse the water on wet roads. If it weren't for grooves, your tires would be 'aquaplaning' on every patch of water, and not gripping the surface.


What are tire wear bars?

When tires are made, the tread pattern has grooves in them. There are parts of the grooves that are not as deep as others. When the tire has worn down to that level, the tread has worn away to the point where they are no longer safe to drive on. The bars are clearly visible going across the tire.


Why do you need tread on tires?

The "tread" is the part of the tire that is supposed to touch the ground. A tire with no tread would be a tire that is not supposed to touch the ground. You may be wondering why tires have a pattern of grooves (a.k.a., voids) in the tread. They're for bad weather. The grooves allow rain, and (if they're wider) mud and snow to squelch out from under the tire so that the tread can come into contact with something solid on which to get a grip.


Why longitudinal grooves on bridges?

The grooves or "tining" placed on concrete bridge decks (surfaces) are created for for automobile tire traction when it rains and to help direct the water runoff. Typically the grooves are created in the transverse direction across the direction of automobile travel.

What are tire grooves for?
