English term or phrase: treadpan
Bonjour,

un homme doit acheter des pneus pour une voiture qu'il construit afin qu'elle ressemble à la Rover Jet One. Il va donc dans un magasin spécialisé, où le vendeur lui propose des pneus 185 VR XVS et lui explique ce que signifie ce nom :

"Now 185 VR XVS. The V stands for hundred and fifty mile an hour speed rating , the R says radial. Fifteen inches from rib size XVS treadpan."

Je ne comprends pas la deuxième partie de la phrase, et surtout le terme "treadpan".

Explanation:
J'ai l'impression qu'il s'agisse d'une abréviation de "tread pattern" que je rendrai par "sculpture" qui est un "Dessin imprimé en creux dans la
semelle d'un pneumatique pour accroître le coefficient d'adhérence de celui-ci au sol." Je ne sais pas si ça peut aider
