About Motorcycle Tires' Good Drainage Ability: Weapons Against Wetness
(1) 16 Inch Motorcycle Tires' Pattern Drainage Grooves for Efficient Drainage
Although off-road motorcycle tires are mainly driven on uneven roads, the drainage characteristics of tires are also crucial in some wet environments, such as muddy roads after rain and sand in rivers. The structural design of off-road tires usually includes special drainage grooves that can quickly drain water between the tire and the ground, reduce the water film between the tire and the ground, and thus improve the tire's grip.
The shape, width and depth of the drainage grooves affect the drainage performance of the tire. Generally speaking, the wider and deeper the drainage grooves, the better the drainage performance of the tire. Some off-road tire pattern designs use wide and deep drainage grooves, which can quickly drain water between the tire and the ground, avoid the formation of water film, and thus improve the tire's grip on the slide. At the same time, the shape of the drainage grooves has also been carefully designed, and some drainage grooves adopt a curved shape to increase the flow path and allow for more adequate drainage of water.
(2) Consideration of tilt angle drainage
When an off-road motorcycle turns during driving, the tire will tilt. In this case, the drainage performance of the tire may also be affected. In order to ensure that the tire maintains good tilt drainage performance, some off-road tire patterns are designed according to the tilt angle of the tire, and drainage channels are installed on the side of the tire.
These side drainage channels allow the water to be discharged in time between the tire and the ground when the tire is tilted, avoiding the accumulation of water between the Tricycle Tires and the ground, thereby ensuring that the adhesion of the tire will not be affected. At the same time, the design of the side drainage channels also improves the lateral stability of the tire, allowing the driver to drive the car more safely and stably when turning.
