Tire

Tire tread

A pneumatic tire with a tread has at least two axially adjacent tread elements, the elements being separated by a groove and each element having opposing lateral sides. Connecting the axially adjacent tread elements is at least one traction biting element. The biting element has three continuous portions. The first portion extends along the lateral side of the first tread element. The second portion extends through the separating groove. The third portion extends along the lateral side of the second tread element. Each biting element forms at least two distinct edges along the lateral sides of each tread element and two distinct edges in the separating grooves.
