Tire tread wear indicators are patterned ridges 1.6mm (0.0630in.) to 1.8mm (0.0709in.) higher than the rest of the tread surface, and are molded into the tread at four to six points Read more Standing Wave & Hydroplaning (Aquaplaning) 2 of 2
1. Standing wave
When the vehicle is running, the tire continuously flexes as a new section of the tread comes into contact with the road surface. Later, when this section leaves the road surface, Read more Standing Wave & Hydroplaning (Aquaplaning) 1 of 2
