Tire tread pattern affects the performance of motor vehicles and traffic safety; therefore, designing it accurately is very
important. This paper mainly discusses the arithmetic that can form tire tread patterns automatically and rapidly. The algorithm
flow is given. Then, the principle of planar picture creating three-dimensional patterns concretely is analyzed. The experimental
results of the meridian tire pattern based on the UG API function prove the feasibility and excellence of the proposed method.
