PNEUMATIC TIRE

摘要

FIELD: transport.SUBSTANCE: invention relates to automotive winter tire tread design. In the tread part, multiple longitudinal and lateral grooves are made. They determine boundaries of multiple rows of blocks. Each of the blocks includes sipes. Length of each of the blocks included into the first row of blocks and the second row of blocks is at least 1.5 times and not more than 2.5 times greater than length of each of the blocks included into the third row of blocks. Width of each of the blocks included into the second row of blocks is greater than width of each of the blocks included into the first row of blocks. Lateral grooves determining boarders of blocks in the first row of blocks and lateral grooves determining boarders of blocks in the second row of blocks are located with shift relative to each other in direction along tire circumference for a distance of at least 0.2 and at most 0.8 of the length of each of the blocks in the first row of blocks. Lateral grooves determining boarders of blocks in the second row of blocks and lateral grooves determining boarders of blocks in the third row of blocks are located so that they communicate with each other being inclined in the same direction relative to tire width direction.EFFECT: improved operational performance during movement over ice and snow with good balance.11 cl, 8 dwg, 1 tbl
