Present invention provide a tread (1) for a tire having a plurality of grooves (3) formed in the tread, a plurality of contact elements (4) delimited by a plurality of grooves (3) and having circumferential surfaces, transverse surfaces (41, 42) and a contact surface (2) intended to come into contact with ground during rolling, the contact element (4) having a height H, and at least one connecting member (5) connecting the transverse surface (41, 42) of the contact element to the transverse surface (41, 42) of the circumferentially adjacent contact element, a distance <u>h</u> between one of the connecting members and the contact face (2) is at most equal to 30% of the height <u>H</u>, and a material of the connecting member (5) is different from a material of the contact element (4), and a Young modulus of the material of the connecting member (5) is higher than a Young modulus of the material of the contact element (4). |
