The invention concerns a pneumatic vehicle tire having a tread and sidewalls, wherein the tread has at least one shoulder-side profile rib with a shoulder portion extending from the lateral edge of the ground contact patch of the tread in the direction of the respective sidewall and having an outer face, and containing rectangular depressions which are formed elongate transversely to the circumferential direction and are each delimited by a base and in the circumferential direction by side faces, wherein the base, viewed in cross-section transversely to the circumferential direction, has an inside base portion running towards the outer face with a maximum extent length, and an outside base portion with a maximum extent length.

Pneumatic vehicle tyre

An off-road tread profile with radially elevated profile elements, which are separated by circumferential channels, and with transversely running channels which open into circumferential channels, wherein the circumferential channels are formed, along their extent over the circumference of the tire, with a varied axial inclination, wherein, in the channel base of a circumferential channel, elevated stone deflectors are formed so as to be free from contact with the channel walls, which stone deflectors are formed from a cylindrical or frustoconical central body with maximum diameter D, the cylinder or cone axis of which is oriented in the radial direction, and from in each case one web-like body situated in front of the body in the extent direction of the circumferential channel and one web-like body situated behind, wherein the two web-like bodies are each formed so as to extend from the shell surface of the central body so as to be oriented parallel to the extent direction of the circumferential channel and point radially away from the central body and with a maximum width b, where (0.5 D)&#x2265;b&#x2265;1 mm, wherein central bodies are positioned in each case exclusively in circumferential extent regions of opening-in points of at least one transversely running channel into the circumferential channel.

Vehicle tire

A pneumatic vehicle tire having a tread divided by circumferential grooves, which have a profile depth (T), into block rows running in encircling fashion in a circumferential direction and/or profile ribs which are structured in the manner of profile blocks. Block rows are divided by transverse grooves into blocks and, like the profile ribs structured in the manner of profile blocks, are equipped with blind grooves proceeding from the circumferential grooves. Transverse and/or blind grooves are provided which, owing to a connection of blocks adjacent in the circumferential direction and/or of the block-like structures, have a depth smaller than profile depth (T). The connection has at least two connection steps of different heights, the lowest is formed in each case at the region in which the transverse grooves and/or blind grooves open into the circumferential grooves.
