Did you know....THE LINES IN YOUR TIRE TREAD ARE KNOWN AS SIPES.
These slices in your tread spread and close to grip the road surface as you drive over it. They also channel water out from under your tire when you’re driving on wet or snowy roads. Sipes were invented in a slaughterhouse in 1923 by a butcher who was tired of sliding around on bloody floors. He cut lines in the soles of his boots discovered that he then had a better grip. Even though it’s gross, those are true tire facts.
