Abstract: A tread for a tire includes a circumferential center tread region comprising a plurality of block elements arranged in a symmetric pattern on opposite sides of a tire equatorial centerplane, a pair of circumferential shoulder tread regions each comprising a plurality of block elements arranged in a symmetric pattern on opposite sides of a tire equatorial centerplane, a leading edge first serrated construction disposed on a leading edge of one of the block elements, and a trailing edge second serrated construction disposed on a trailing edge of one of the block elements.

Abstract: A tread for a tire includes: a first tread zone extending circumferentially, continuously, and entirely around the tire, the first tread zone being formed of a first compound; a second tread zone extending circumferentially, continuously, and entirely around the tire, the second tread zone being formed of a second compound different from the first compound; and a boundary groove axially separating the first tread zone from the second tread zone, the first tread zone, the second tread zone, and the boundary groove entirely forming the tread, the boundary groove having an axial centerline disposed an axial distance from an equatorial plane of the tire. The first tread zone has a first circumferential groove and a sidewall portion defining an intermediate circumferential rib of the first tread zone and a shoulder circumferential rib of the first tread zone.

Abstract: A pneumatic tire has a radially outer tread. The tread has a plurality of circumferential grooves, a plurality of lateral grooves, and a plurality of shoulder grooves. The tread includes bottoms and sides of each circumferential groove being textured for improving snow traction, each circumferential groove being textured with flat-topped pyramids, bottoms and sides of each lateral groove being textured for improving snow traction; and bottoms and sides of each shoulder groove being textured for improving snow traction.
