Rib pattern light truck tires. Advantages: large side slip resistance, excellent steering and safety performance, less vibration, and comfortable driving. Disadvantages: poor braking and driving performance, and grooves are prone to fatigue. It is mainly used in truck steering wheels and places with good road conditions.

Transverse pattern light truck tires. Advantages: excellent driving and braking performance, and can adapt to poor roads. Disadvantages: This pattern has relatively large rolling resistance (low fuel-saving efficiency) and relatively low resistance to sideslip. It is mainly applied to the brake wheels of trucks and places with poor road conditions.

Stripe and transverse pattern hybrid light truck tires. It can be said that this kind of tire has the advantages of both strip pattern and transverse pattern, and the braking performance is considered while the steering performance is ensured, and can adapt to various roads. The disadvantage is that this combination is easy to cause serious wear at the end of the transverse pattern. It is mainly used for cargo trucks.

Block pattern light truck tires. Advantages: excellent propulsion and braking performance, good use effect on snow and muddy roads. Disadvantages: wear faster than strip pattern and transverse pattern, and rolling resistance is large. It is mainly used in areas with very poor transportation conditions such as severe cold, desert, or cross-country environments.
