![]() ![]() This is a process different from regrooving. When a tire is marked “REGROOVABLE” it also means that it is capable of receiving another layer of tread after the original tread wears out. Many truck tires are marked as “REGROOVABLE.” This means that when the tread wears down to a level which is below the legal limit deeper grooves can be carved into the remaining tread rubber to allow for continued use of the tire. Truck tires commonly have under-tread or sub-tread between the tread itself and the top steel belt. When such a truck tire is halfway worn down to 10/32 of tread it still has an amount of tread available which is similar to what many passenger car tires have when they are new. The doubling of the steel belts in truck tires makes the truck tires more robust and durable.Ī truck tire may have 20/32nds of tread or more. ![]() Medium truck and bus tires have four steel belts. Beyond this obvious difference a key distinguishing factor is that passenger car tires (and light truck tires placed on SUVs) typically have two steel belts. The first and most obvious difference is that truck tires are simply larger and wider than passenger car tires. Truck tires and passenger car tires are different in construction, and these differences are designed for their intended use and performance.
