Abstract
A motorcycle tire has a tire body with a running surface and a tire tread. A plurality of main grooves are formed in the tire tread which form a plurality of tread blocks. The main grooves extend at an angle relative to a longitudinal axis of the tire. Three mutually parallel, narrow longitudinal grooves are forme in the tire tread which extend around the tire body. The longitudinal grooves are formed symmetrically about the longitudinal axis and they intersect at least some of the main grooves. The longitudinal grooves have a depth which is approximately 70 to 100% of the main grooves.
