Many tires have various colored lines on the tread, including red/yellow/green, one, two, three, etc. What are they? Is it to make the tire look better?
The colored lines on the tire tread are Coloured Tire Marking Lines. They are printed by the tire manufacturer to distinguish the crown when it is produced. When the tire is produced, multiple specifications and multiple patterns are often produced at the same time. In order to distinguish tires of different specifications, whether they are semi-finished products or finished products, they can be judged by appearance. Different colors, different quantities, and different positions will be drawn on the tread to distinguish different specifications. Moreover, when the same specifications and patterns are different but the rubber formula is different, there is also a need for a method to distinguish them. Therefore, different manufacturers have different meanings of line arrangement.
Since the tread color strips are added during the production process, they are integrated with the tire after the tire is vulcanized. It is not easy to wipe off and can only wear out as the tire wears. Therefore, the presence of Coloured Tire Marking Lines proves that the tire is pure new, and the colored lines do not affect the performance and normal use of the tire. The colored lines of some tires are safety wear marks embedded and compounded into the tire tread in the shape of an inverted triangle section, and they wear away with the tread wear. When the Coloured Tire Marking Lines become narrower and wear out easily, it is possible to accurately judge the use of the tire and the wear condition of the tread, and whether it has reached or is about to reach the tread wear standard stipulated by the state. In short, although the colored lines on the tires seem simple, they contain rich information and functions. By understanding the meaning and function of these lines, consumers can better choose and use tires, making driving safer and more comfortable.
