Abstract
A tire having a tread with profile rib traversed by sipes, which extend parallel to one another and at an angle of 0° to 50° relative to the axial direction and have a width of 0.4 mm to 3.0 mm. Each sipe has a sipe main portion extending over the majority of its extent and via a respective sipe edge portion leads into each circumferential groove delimiting the profile rib. The sipe main portion and the sipe edge portion have a respective depth in which the depth of the sipe main portion is less than the depth of the sipe edge portion. In the interior of the profile rib, the sipe edge portion over its entire extent leads into a cavity that extends from the circumferential groove and is made wider than the sipe.
