4 Tire Tread Types
Tires are designed with different types of tread, and each one is meant for different road conditions and driving styles. The four types of tire tread are directional, symmetrical, asymmetrical, and directional/asymmetrical.
Symmetrical
Symmetrical tire tread has the same pattern – continuous grooves and independent lugs – across the whole tire. This type of tire is the most common and found on most non-high-performance passenger cars because it is typically quiet and long-lasting. Symmetrical tires can be rotated in many different ways, which helps to prolong the life of the tires and makes them more versatile.
Asymmetrical
Asymmetrical tire tread, normally found on sports cars, is a hybrid in that it incorporates a variety of tread patterns for maximum grip on wet and dry roads. Usually, the inside and middle parts of the tire will be designed for wet and winter traction, while the outside of the tire will have large tread blocks for maximum cornering capability on dry surfaces. To ensure that the tires are positioned correctly on the car (to maximize handling capabilities), the sidewalls are marked “outside only” and “inside only.” Many different rotation patterns can be used for tires with asymmetrical tread patterns.

Tire Questions & Answers
Is retreading a safe form of car tire repair? Are my tires suitable?
Retreading can be a safe car tire repair, depending on certain factors. For starters, the condition of the tire and its components is one of the most essential aspects to consider. Treadwear, overall tread depth, sidewall damage, and air pressure need to be assessed to determine if retreading is possible and suitable for a particular tire. The rubber compound must also be inspected for signs of excessive wear or cracks and replaced if necessary. It is recommended that the retreading process take place in our specialized shop, where our workers are trained to carry out the procedure correctly and with the utmost safety considerations in mind. Once the assessment has been completed, the construction phase begins, wherein a new tread pattern is applied.
WHY DID MY TIRES WEAR SO QUICKLY?
Premature tire wear may be caused by many factors other than tire rotation. Some examples are as follows: improper inflation, driving conditions, misaligned vehicles, worn vehicle parts, and various other reasons.
Without physically inspecting the tires, it isn’t easy to determine why your tires wore prematurely. Please visit your nearest Pitt Stop Tire & Auto and have one of our trained professionals inspect your tires free of charge.
I ONLY NEED TWO TIRES. DO THEY GO ON THE FRONT OR THE BACK?
New tires should always be placed on the rear when replacing only two tires on your vehicle.
