  • Patent number: 11766899
    Abstract: A pneumatic vehicle tire including a utility vehicle tire has a tread with profile positives which are separated from one another in a circumferential direction by transverse channels which extend continuously from the central region of the tread as far as the lateral tread edges, respectively. The transverse channels are main channels of the tread and, at least over the major part of the course thereof, have the maximum provided profile depth. The transverse channels are provided, on the respective channel base thereof, with a row of base elevations formed so as to be distributed over the entire course of the transverse channels. The base elevations are attached to the channel flanks of the transverse channels and are configured such that their rubber volume becomes smaller the closer to the tread edge they are disposed.

  • Patent number: 11396210
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a pneumatic vehicle tire having a tread with profile positives which are separated from one another in a circumferential direction by transverse channels which extend continuously from the central region of the tread to the lateral tread edges and which are main channels of the tread and which, at least over the major part of the course thereof, have the maximum provided profile depth. The tread has, as profile positives, two rows of transverse ribs which are of encircling form in the circumferential direction and which are separated from one another by respective transverse channels. The tread is of directional configuration, wherein the transverse ribs of one row, and thus the transverse channels running between the transverse ribs, run, with respect to the axial direction, oppositely in relation to the transverse ribs and transverse channels of the other row.

  • Publication number: 20180281527
    Abstract: A tread profile is divided into two parts in the axial direction (A) of the tire and has two axially adjacent profile block rows, each of which is formed from profile block elements that are arranged one behind the other over the circumference of the tire and are separated from one another by inclined grooves. The inclined grooves of one profile block row are configured to slope along the axial extent of the inclined grooves through the profile block row, starting from the other profile block row, such that the main direction of extent of the inclined grooves forms an angle ? of inclination relative to the axial direction (A). The inclined grooves of one profile block row have a direction of inclination which is oriented oppositely to that of the inclined grooves of the other profile block row when seen in the circumferential direction (U).
