A pneumatic tire having a block design suited for off-road use, modified to improve rolling resistance and noise properties when used on paved surfaces, has a tread design having angled lateral grooves with three branches between the blocks in each circumferential row of blocks in the tread. Narrow grooves separate the blocks in several of the rows of blocks, and tire bars are present in the lateral grooves separating blocks in other rows of blocks. Hook shaped sipes are located in the blocks about halfway between two laterally extending grooves. Void areas in the shoulder area of the tire enhance traction in mud and sand.
