Abstract
A mold segment for forming a tire is provided that has a first sipe element with a protrusion that extends from a first sipe element side surface. The height of the protrusion is less than a height of the first sipe element side surface. A second sipe element is present and has a cavity that extends from a second sipe element side surface. The cavity has a height that is less than a height of the second sipe element side surface. A mold segment base is included that receives the first sipe element and the second sipe element. The cavity receives the protrusion such that the protrusion is located in the cavity and so that the first sipe element side surface directly faces the second sipe element side surface.
