A studless tyre comprises a tread (2) provided with a plurality of blocks (B) and at least one rib (6) provided with first sipes (10) and second sipes (11) each extending across the rib (6). The first sipes (10) and second sipes (11) are alternately arranged in the longitudinal direction of the rib (6) at circumferential pitches Pc in a range of from 0.028 to 0.04 times a ground contacting width (W) of the tread. Each of the first sipes (10) and second sipes (11) comprises a deep central part (10A, 11A), a shallow part (10C, 11C) on one side thereof and a mid-depth part (10B,11B) on the other side thereof, wherein the deep central part (10A, 11A) has a depth (Ds3) in a range of from 0.070 to 0.80 times a depth (D) of a main longitudinal groove (3) defining the rib (6), the mid-depth part (10B, 11B) has a depth (Ds2) being in a range of from 0.040 to 0.060 times the depth (D) of the main longitudinal groove (3), and the shallow part (10C, 11C) has a depth (Ds1) in a range of from 0.04 to 0.35 times the depth (D) of the main longitudinal groove (3). The shallow part (10C, 11C) and mid-depth part (10B, 11B) of each first sipe (10) are positionally reverse to those of the second sipes (11) so that, on each side of the rib (6), the shallow parts (10C, 11C) alternate with the mid-depth parts (10B, 11B). <IMAGE> |
