Abstract
A tire includes a tread formed with tread elements that include a dual angled chamfer. The tire includes a pair of sidewalls extending radially outward to a ground-engaging tread. A plurality of circumferentially-extending grooves extend about the tread and define a plurality of ribs. A plurality of laterally-extending grooves cooperate with the circumferential grooves to divide the ribs into tread elements. A plurality of selected tread elements are formed with a dual angled chamfer. Each of the selected tread elements includes a body, a radially outer, ground-engaging surface, a chamfer side, and a dual angled chamfer that is formed in the body between the ground-engaging surface and the chamfer side.
