Abstract: A pneumatic vehicle tire having a tread (2) which has a profiling and which has at least one circumferential groove (1) which runs in encircling fashion in the circumferential direction of the pneumatic vehicle tire and is formed to a profile depth PT and which has, in alternating fashion over the entire tire circumference over partial sections (21, 24) of the circumference of the pneumatic vehicle tire, a first cross section perpendicular to the circumferential direction and a second cross section perpendicular to the circumferential direction.

Abstract: A pneumatic vehicle tire, in particular utility vehicle tire, having a tread (2) which has a profiling and which has at least one circumferential groove (1) which runs in encircling fashion in the circumferential direction of the pneumatic vehicle tire and is formed to a profile depth PT. At least over part of the circumference of the pneumatic vehicle tire, at least one circumferential groove (1) has a cross section perpendicularly to the circumferential direction that is made up of at least two groove portions adjoining one another in a radial direction R of the pneumatic vehicle tire. A first groove portion (4) is symmetrical with respect to the radial direction R of the pneumatic vehicle tire. The width of said groove portion in the axial direction A of the pneumatic vehicle tire is less than 3 mm and does not vary by more than 10%. A second radially inner groove portion (5) is made wider in the axial direction A in comparison with the first groove portion (4).
