The present invention relates to a tire (1) with a carbon black-containing, black-colored, circumferential tread (2) of a cap/base construction, wherein said tread cap (3) has a lug (4) and groove (5) configuration and wherein the outer surface (9) of a major portion of said lugs are designed to be ground contacting, and a co-extruded thin outer non-carbon black-containing rubber layer (8) of a non-black color wherein said outer rubber layer is integral with and circumferentially extends from the axial outer edge of said tread cap (3) to include at least of a visible surface of at least one groove (5) in said tread cap. In one aspect, said tread (2) contains a pair of black colored, carbon black reinforced, tread miniwings (7) which extend from the axial outer edge of the tread over a portion of the tire sidewall (12), wherein said thin outer rubber layer joins said miniwing and wherein said tread cap, tread base, tread miniwings and thin outer layer are co-extruded, co-cured and therefore integral with each other. <IMAGE> |
