Tyre for a two wheeled single-track vehicle.

摘要

A tyre is disclosed comprising a plurality of spaced tread blocks (15) separated by a plurality of first grooves (17) spaced around the tyre circumference. The blocks (15) extend generally diagonally across the tread continuously from one side to the other. Each first groove (17) comprises an intermediate portion (19) which extends substantially circumferentially of the tyre, and is separated from the next intermediate portion (19) by a tread block (15).
The first grooves (17) channel water from the centre of the tyre tread and their configuration allows adequate driver control to be maintained when the tread contacts longitudinal shoulders on, for example, rain grooves, joints or lane marking strips on the road surface.
