  • Publication number: 20150239297
    Abstract: Tire tread, comprising at least one groove of width W and depth P which is delimited by two walls facing one another, these walls being joined together by a groove bottom, at least one groove comprising at least one flexible device for at least partially closing this groove as it enters the contact patch in which the tire is in contact with a roadway, each flexible device comprising at least one blade of a thickness suited to allowing it to flex under the effect of a circulation of liquid, this at least one blade being borne by a wall delimiting the groove, each blade of thickness E being bounded by a bottom wall facing the bottom of the groove, an end wall facing the other wall of the groove and a contact wall intended to come into contact with the roadway and lateral walls spaced apart from one another by a distance equal to the thickness E of the blade, this tread being such that the bottom wall of the blade comprises a first part extending between the points of connection with the wall bearing the blade,
