Tread Width

The distance between the centre points of the left tyre tread and right tyre tread as they come in contact with the road. Whilst the front and rear wheels may have different tread widths, each front wheel must be the same distance from the centreline of the frame and each rear wheel must be the same distance from the centreline.
