A tyre for vehicle wheels comprises a tread band including a plurality of blocks and grooves that define in the tread band a void/solid ratio comprised between 0.4 and 0.65 and that form a tread pattern which is symmetrical with respect to an equatorial plane (X-X) of the tyre. The tread pattern includes a pair of circumferential grooves () arranged on opposite sides with respect to the equatorial plane and which define a central annular portion of tread band and a pair of lateral annular portions of tread band arranged on opposite sides with respect to said central annular portion. The central annular portion of tread band comprises a plurality of circumferentially consecutive central blocks () arranged astride of the equatorial plane and having a maximum width equal to, or greater than. 50% of a radial section maximum width of the tyre. The central blocks () are separated from one another by a respective central transversal groove () having a circumferential length less than that of a circumferentially adjacent central block (). Each lateral annular portion of tread band comprises a plurality of circumferentially consecutive lateral blocks () separated from one another by a respective lateral transversal groove ().
