Main Features of This Motorcycle Tires
The structural design of flat tires is one of the key factors affecting their performance. Tires usually have relatively small and simple patterns. Unlike off-road or highway cruising tires, flat tire patterns are mainly designed to provide good traction and flexibility in flat areas such as skate parks and flat squares. The depth of the pattern is usually between 3 and 6 mm, which provides sufficient friction and reduces the deformation and resistance caused by debris sliding or rotating at high speed.
The patterns are mostly large or striped. The flake patterns are distributed along the tread of the tire with corresponding intervals between them. The edges of these huge patterns tend to be sharper, which can accurately cut into the ground and provide stable support when the vehicle performs various flat sports (e.g., sliding, drifting, etc.). For example, when burning the tire in place, the huge pattern will quickly rub against the ground, producing a beautiful smoke effect, ensuring that the car will not lose control due to loss of traction. The striped pattern can guide the rolling direction of the tire in straight-line motion and slight banked turns, and improve the drainage performance of the tire. Although the areas that represent flat treads are usually drier, the striped pattern can also provide some drainage in some unexpected situations (for example, when the fields are not completely dry after rain).
The Effect of Different Patterns on Performance of 14 Inch Motorcycle Tires
Symmetrical Pattern: Some flat tricycle tires are designed using symmetrical patterns. The advantage of this pattern is that the car has more consistent performance when driving forward and reverse. When presenting a single color, the rider often changes direction, such as rotating 180 degrees or 360 degrees. Symmetrical pattern tires provide uniform traction during these movements, making the car's steering smoother. For example, when the rider performs a high-speed rotation in place, the tread blocks on both sides of the symmetrical corrugated bar can contact the ground in the same way, thereby reducing the vibration and imbalance caused by the asymmetry of the pattern, making it easier for the rider to control the speed and angle of the rotation.
Asymmetric Pattern: Another common one is an asymmetric pattern. The inside (the side close to the center of the vehicle) of this pattern is different from the outside (the side away from the center of the vehicle). The outer pattern is usually denser and larger, mainly to provide strong lateral grip during leaning, turning and other vehicle movements. Because in planar movements, such as high-speed bending or lateral sliding, the tires on the outside of the vehicle can withstand the greatest lateral forces. The outer pattern of an asymmetric tire better resists this lateral force and prevents the vehicle from tipping over. The inner pattern is relatively simple, mainly used to provide basic grip and stability during normal driving and some special actions, such as balancing the front wheel after lifting off the ground.
Special pattern design: There are also some flat plywood with special pattern designs, such as adding small grooves or protrusions on the pattern blocks. These small design details can increase the friction changes when the pattern contacts the ground, allowing the rider to better feel the feedback between the tire and the ground when performing some subtle planar movements, such as slight drift adjustments, precise fixed-point rotations, etc.
