It is important to know how tires are assembled because each tire is different. Depending on the style and way the tire was assembled will directly effect how they perform in certain weather conditions and temperatures.
Tread - This is the part of the tire which comes in contact with the surface of the road. This part of the tire usually consists of very thick rubber to provide traction that does not wear away too quickly. Tread pattern is determined by the shapes of the grooves, voids, and lugs. These grooves are designed to channel water away from the tire to they can stay tractioned on the road surface.
Treadwear - Treadware is simply how long the tread should last on a tire before going bald. Most manufacturers overstate the treadware of their tires to give the impression of quality. Rating systems are good, but not always accurate as they are more of a marketing technique.
Sidewall - You guessed it, the sidewall is the side of the tires. These sidewalls are reinforced with rubber and fabric plies that give the tire strength and flexibility. If the sidewall gets damaged there is no way to repair the tire and it must be replaced.
