A pneumatic tire wherein the tread portion comprises a plurality of independent projections arranged so as to provide a plurality of substantially axially extending grooves from the centerplane of the tire to the tread edge. The independent projections have a rigid portion and at least one flexible portion such that when a braking force is applied the flexible portion deforms so as to improve water drainage from the tread portion of the tire.
