Abstract: A tire tread includes a plurality of circumferential grooves, each of the plurality extending continuously in a tire circumferential direction. The plurality of circumferential grooves define a circumferentially extending shoulder rib. The shoulder rib has a plurality of shoulder elements. Each shoulder element is defined by two lateral shoulder grooves. Each shoulder element has an axially outer shoulder element and a corresponding axially adjacent and axially inner shoulder element separated by a circumferential groove. The axially outer shoulder elements each have a pair of angled outer lateral S-shaped blind grooves extending axially away from the inner shoulder elements.

Abstract: A tire includes a tread formed with tread elements that include a dual angled chamfer. The tire includes a pair of sidewalls extending radially outward to a ground-engaging tread. A plurality of circumferentially-extending grooves extend about the tread and define a plurality of ribs. A plurality of laterally-extending grooves cooperate with the circumferential grooves to divide the ribs into tread elements. A plurality of selected tread elements are formed with a dual angled chamfer. Each of the selected tread elements includes a body, a radially outer, ground-engaging surface, a chamfer side, and a dual angled chamfer that is formed in the body between the ground-engaging surface and the chamfer side.
