Abstract
A tire made of rubbery material comprises tread () and two sidewalls () delimiting the tread, at least one of the sidewalls comprising at least one texture () that contrasts with the rest of the sidewall. The texture is divided into a plurality of adjacent patterns () of identical external shape. All or some of the patterns comprise a plurality of texture elements arranged to form in the pattern a plurality of rows that extend in the same direction of extension. For a given pattern of the texture, the rows of texture elements in each pattern adjacent to the given pattern have a direction of extension different from the direction of extension of the rows of texture elements of the given pattern. The lightness of the rest of the sidewall, which is not textured, is at least 5 units greater than the lightnesses of the patterns of the texture.
