Abstract
Heavy goods vehicle tire including beads, sidewalls and a tread. To deflect the flow of water expelled laterally by this tire while running on a wet road, the tire is provided on each of its sidewalls, and near the tread, with a protuberance. One protuberance is positioned on the tire so as to be effective over a first period of use of the tire and the other protuberance is positioned on the tire so as to be effective after the tread has partially worn away, and after the worn tire has been reversed so as to place such other protuberance to the outside of the vehicle.
