What's the name for this … chase? stria? groove?

In Czech, we call it "stopa" – which literally translates as "footprint" but has a lot of other meanings as well so I can't really work out which of the tons of the English translations I should use here. Trail? Trace? Vestige?

stopa kol

Best Answer

It's mostly called a "tyre tread/track mark" or a "tyre tread pattern", also a "tyre track" and a "tyre print", for instance: tyre tread pattern in mud, tyre track mark in mud or tyre print in mud

In British English it's "tyre", and it's "tire" in American English.
