Multi-purpose tire

摘要

A tire has a circumferential tread, the tread (10) including shoulder tread regions (16, 18) configured for off-road performance separated by and interlocking with a center tread region (14) configured for on-road performance. The shoulder tread regions are defined by a repeating pattern of two or more distinct shoulder tread elements (4, 5) and the center tread region is defined by a repeating pattern of two or more distinct center tread elements (1, 2, 3). The shoulder tread elements each have a ground contacting surface area greater than a ground contacting surface area of the center tread elements.
