Summers
With summers the subsequent cutting of fine longitudinal grooves is motorcycle tire means a tire planer designated. The tire planer - also Gilster plane, according to the utility model - has several blades with a distance of approx. 3 to 5 mm. The tire tread is machined by cutting a few mm deep into the rubber in the longitudinal direction. The resulting rubber bars are similar in function to today's lamellar tires. The summer of motorcycle tires is no longer carried out today, as modern radial tires have better static friction than earlier bias tires.
