When buying new tires, many motorists are interested in why colored stripes are applied to the tread, parallel to each other. Several versions are put forward, to the point where tire manufacturers point out the weakest points where punctures and cuts are likely.
In fact, this way the manufacturer designates tires by size, production date and a specific model. Since they are stored vertically in the warehouse, colored stripes are applied along the entire length, after which they are much easier to find on the racks, explains the Koleso.ru portal.
The lines thus fulfill a purely logistical function and the color indicates a specific parameter for each manufacturer.
