Propose is a tire including dissymmetric sipes of which vertical positions of channels are different from each other, the tire including a base tread part positioned on an edge of the tire to include a portion having a ring shape; a plurality of tread block parts formed on an outer surface of the base tread part; a groove part formed between the tread block parts; and a sipe part formed in at least one of the tread block parts, wherein the sipe part includes a rift part including a gap of the tread block part and a channel part connected to the rift part to have a greater width than the rift part, and vertical positions of the channel parts in at least two of the sipe parts may be different from each other.

A tread (10) for a heavy truck tire having a groove (14) with a bottom (16) and a stone ejector (18) located within the groove (14) that extends upwards from the groove bottom (16) wherein the stone ejector (18) has a front side (20), a back side (22) and an upper surface (24) that extends at different distances upwards at different locations on the upper surface (24) such that a first location (26) on the upper surface (24) is located closer to the back side (22) and extends a longer distance upwards than a second location (28) on the upper surface (24) that is located closer to the front side (20).

A tread portion has a circumferential groove extending continuously and circumferentially. The circumferential groove has a groove bottom and a pair of groove walls radially extending from the groove bottom to a tread surface. The groove bottom includes groove bottom protruding portions protruding radially outwardly from a groove bottom reference surface parallel to the tread surface at a deepest position of a groove depth of the circumferential groove. Each of the groove bottom protruding portions is formed to be symmetrical about a center line of the circumferential groove in a plan view of the tread portion and has a first groove bottom surface extending radially. The first groove bottom surface includes a first surface portion on one side of the center line and a second surface portion on the other side. An angle between the first surface portion and the second surface portion is from 20° to 170°.

A tread for a tire includes a first circumferential main groove; a second circumferential main groove; a third circumferential main groove; and a fourth circumferential main groove. The fourth circumferential main groove has a stabilizing structure for increasing tread stiffness. The stabilizing structure is axially offset a predetermined amount from a centerline of the fourth circumferential main groove. The fourth circumferential main groove has an angled axially inner sidewall, an angled axially outer sidewall, and a curved base surface. The stabilizing structure extends radially inward from the curved base surface of the fourth circumferential main groove.

A tire has a tread portion provided with three or four circumferential grooves including a shoulder circumferential groove to form a shoulder land region and a middle land region. The middle land region is provided with a middle circumferential sipe and middle lateral sipes. The shoulder land region is provided with shoulder lateral grooves extending from the shoulder circumferential groove to a tread edge, and shoulder lateral sipes extending from the shoulder circumferential groove and terminated without reaching the tread edge.

A tire comprises a tread portion provided with grooves. When the tire mounted on a standard wheel rim and inflated to a standard tire pressure is placed on a flat surface at a camber angle of zero and loaded with a standard tire load, the tire has a ground contacting patch. The depths of the respective grooves, and ground contact lengths of the ground contacting patch measured at axial positions of the respective grooves, are in a relationship in which the groove depth increases or decreases as the ground contact length increases or decreases.

A pneumatic tire includes a shoulder block in which first shoulder blocks and second shoulder blocks are alternately aligned. Each first shoulder block has a first edge that is on the outer side in a tire axial direction of a tread surface of the first shoulder block. Each second shoulder block has a second edge that is positioned on the outer side in the tire axial direction of a tread surface of the second shoulder block and more toward the inner side in the tire axial direction than the first edge.

A heavy truck tire tread (2) having a longitudinal direction (LgD), a lateral direction (LtD), a tread depth direction (TdD), a ground contact surface (CS) and a pair of opposing tread shoulders (3, 4) spaced apart along the lateral direction is provided. The tread has a shoulder zone (SZ, SZ′) adjacent each tread shoulder of the pair of opposing tread shoulders, the shoulder zones consisting of blocks (5, 6) adjacent to each other along the longitudinal direction and separated by lateral grooves (7, 8). A center zone (CZ) is defined between the shoulder zones. The center zone is decoupled from both shoulder zones by at least one longitudinal sipe (11) or groove, and each lateral groove (7) in a shoulder zone (SZ) is directly connected to an opposite lateral groove (8) in the opposite shoulder zone (SZ′) by a lateral sipe (10) of the center rib.

A pneumatic tire includes circumferential main grooves extending in the tire circumferential direction and arranged side by side in the tire width direction and a land portion defined by the circumferential main grooves. The land portion includes notch portions extending in the tire width direction and connected to the circumferential main grooves and shallow groove portions connected to the notch portions, respectively, and terminating in the land portion. The height of the notch portions decreases continuously toward the circumferential main grooves connected thereto.

A pneumatic tire includes plural land portions that are provided at a tread and that are partitioned by plural circumferential direction grooves that extend along a tire circumferential direction. A lug groove is provided at at least one land portion among the plural land portions and crosses the land portion in a tire width direction. A fine groove is provided at a groove bottom portion of the lug groove, has a narrower groove width than the lug groove, and has a groove bottom face formed with a circular arc shaped profile when viewed in cross-section at right angles to a groove length direction. A coupling curved face joins the groove bottom face and a groove side face at a length direction end portion of the fine groove, to a groove side face of the circumferential direction grooves.
