A tire according to the present disclosure is a tire including, in a tread surface, a tread land portion partitioned by a partitioning groove or by the partitioning groove and a tread edge. The tread land portion includes a sipe extending from a surface of the tread land portion inwardly in a tire radial direction. The sipe includes a widened portion with a larger sipe width than a position adjacent in a sipe longitudinal direction. The cross-sectional area of the widened portion in cross section perpendicular to the tire radial direction is larger on inside than on outside in the tire radial direction.

A tire 1 according to an example of an embodiment includes a plurality of lands, and a tread having a sipe formed in at least part of the lands. An inclined surface is formed between an opening end on at least one side in a width direction of the sipe and a ground contact surface, the inclined surface having a linear shape in cross section and continuing from the ground contact surface. An intermediate surface is formed between the inclined surface and the sipe, the intermediate surface having an inclination angle with respect to the ground contact surface of 0 degrees or having an inclination angle with respect to the ground contact surface that is smaller than an inclination angle of the inclined surface with respect to the ground contact surface.

Pneumatic vehicle tyre

The invention relates to a pneumatic vehicle tire having a tread with profile block rows (1, 2) with profile blocks (5) delimited by channels (3, 4), which channels (3, 4) form T-shaped intersections in plan view and are delimited by a channel base (6, 6′) and by block flanks (5a, 5′a), wherein, in channels (3), there are formed projections (7, 7′) which, in a radial direction, have at their highest point a height (h.sub.1, h.sub.1′), in relation to the lowest point of the channels (3), of 10% to 80% of the profile depth. The projections (7, 7′) are positioned in intersection regions of T-shaped intersections of the channels (3, 4) and are attached to that block flank (5a) which is situated opposite the opening-in point of the opening-in channel (4).

A tire comprises a tread portion comprising a circumferentially arranged blocks divided by lateral grooves. Each block has a block side wall and a block tread. Each lateral groove comprises an axially outer first portion, an axially inner second portion, and a connect portion at which the first portion and the second portion are connected with each other so that each block is provided with a convex corner portion which is convex toward the outside of the block at the connect portion. In the convex corner portion, the block side wall comprises a first side wall extending along the first portion, a second side wall extending along the second portion, and a substantially triangular third side wall intersecting the first side wall, the second side wall and the block tread. The third side wall terminates radially outside the groove bottom of the lateral groove.
