ABSTRACT:
A slip-preventing tire improves braking and handling properties on a frozen, icy, or snow-packed road. A tire for use especially in winter has a number of slip-preventing structures which are embedded in the tire tread. A number of cylindrical grooves in the tire tread extend inwardly to a predetermined depth. A slip-preventing structure, which includes a number of brush-like wire members, is fixed in each of the grooves. The wire members contact the road surface thus improving the grip of the tire. Additionally, when the tire is operated on a wet roadway, the grooves act to draw in water while the wire members hold the water in the groove. This allows the tread surface to more firmly contact the roadway. The tire therefore provides improved traction in all seasons.
