Abstract: A pneumatic vehicle tire having a tread with profile blocks (4) formed by circumferential or diagonal grooves (1) and by transverse grooves (2), said profile blocks (4) each being provided with at least one sipe (5) that is straight or slightly curved in plan view, extends at least substantially parallel to the transverse grooves (2) and has a width of 0.3 mm to 2.0 mm, wherein the sipe (5) is bounded by two sipe walls (6), and wherein at least one protrusion (8) is provided on each of the otherwise unstructured sipe walls (6). The protrusion (8) formed on one sipe wall (6) is offset in the direction of extent of the sipe (5) with respect to the protrusion (8) formed on the other sipe wall (6), without a mutual overlap.
