  • Pneumatic tire including circumferential grooves and slanting grooves
    Patent number: 6691753
    Abstract: A pneumatic tire for motor vehicles has a running surface profile designed in the direction of rotation, with two shoulder regions (S1, S2) each being a constituent of a row of shoulder blocks, and with a middle region (C) separated from them by circumferential grooves (2) running in the circumferential direction; this middle region encompasses the width of the circumferential grooves (2) and covers a minimum width of 60% of the width of the running surface (B), is free from circumferential grooves running in the circumferential direction and is equipped with a number of V-shaped running rills (1), which open into the circumferential grooves (2) and whose V-peaks rest at least essentially on the equator line (M—M).
