In truck transportation, tire tread patterns not only determine the vehicle’s grip and driving stability but also directly affect wear resistance, fuel efficiency, and overall operating costs. One key indicator in this regard is “tread void ratio” — the proportion of raised tread blocks to the total contact area with the ground.

Tread Saturation Explained

Formula:
(Total Tread Block Area ÷ Total Contact Area) × 100%

High Saturation: More rubber in contact with the road, typically offering better wear resistance and lower noise.

Low Saturation: More void area, providing superior water, mud, and stone evacuation, along with stronger grip in challenging conditions.
