Abstract
A pneumatic tire for a vehicle, having at least one surface element that is formed on the outer surface of the tire and has a structure which contrasts with a base level and gives the surface element a roughness. The contrast structure is formed by a multiplicity of contrast structure cells, which coincide in shape in plan view and are joined together in the form of a grid. The contrast structure cells have irregular peak and trough structures of a surface-covering configuration. The arrangement of the contrast structure cells and the configuration of the irregular peak and trough structures are such that, when considered in plan view, the irregular peak and trough structures can be transferred one into the other by congruence mapping.
