A pneumatic tire (10) having a tread (11) with a block design suited for off-road use. The tire has a ground contacting tread portion with circumferentially extending grooves (4-8) and laterally extending grooves (41,42) comprising at least a portion of an S-shape, defining circumferentially extending rows (31-36) of blocks (21-26). The blocks comprise a first (A), second (B) and third (C) portion; the laterally outer, first (A) and third (C) portions, having a trapezoidal shape, are linked together by the second portion (B), having a height which is lower than the height of said first and third portions. In a preferred embodiment the tread has six rows of blocks spaced by five circumferentially extending straight grooves. <IMAGE> |
