"tire loses its tread" rather than "treads" ?

https://www.google.com/search?q...ses+its+tread"
vs.
https://www.google.com/search?q...es+its+treads"

Notice how most of the "treads" versions are webpages with your sentence.

Hey CK. I'm not sure. I'll check the OED and get back to you.

+1 for "loses its tread"

To me, "loses its treads" sounds wrong.
