If there were one good way to pattern a tread, we can be sure that most tyres intended for any given purpose would be at least very similar in that respect.

As it is, most tyre manufacturers say that, within reason, the exact pattern of the tread is not critical, again, within reason.

Many tread patterns are greatly affected by marketing pressures, that is, the requirement for a brand design.
