Whether a tire is expensive or not, you can tell by looking at the pattern!
The pattern of a tire is directly related to the performance of the tire, and each tire company pays great attention to the research and development of the pattern.
For example, the pattern update cycle of a foreign tire company may take several years or even more than ten years.
A tire can be sold for more than ten years and still remain popular. For example, Michelin's Haoyue 3st is still the first choice for many people to change tires, and many cars also choose this tire as the original equipment.
From the most common grooves to the current 3D grooves, the pattern is a history of the advancement of tire technology. Experienced tire people can tell what brand it is, what pattern it is, and even what type of car the tire is used for and the price range just by looking at the pattern.
