A tire for an agricultural vehicle, having a tread made of rubbery material and two axially outer zones delimiting the tread, each having a shoulder and a sidewall and designed to mechanically connect the tread to a rim. The tire has a plurality of blocks distributed in a circumferential direction (X), each block having a length L, measured in the circumferential direction (X) from a lateral face of the block, and a height H, where L is greater than H. Each block has a cavity that opens onto the lateral face, forming an opening in the lateral face. The cavity has a depth p and an opening width l. The blocks are present in at least one of the two axially outer zones, but not in the tread. The blocks are present at the shoulder in the continuation of the tread.
