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 main groove has a stabilizing structure for increasing tread stiffness. The stabilizing structure has a circumferentially extending wavy subgroove in a radially innermost bottom of the fourth circumferential main groove.

A tread portion has an outer tread end that is positioned on an outer side of a vehicle when mounted to the vehicle, a plurality of circumferential grooves that extend continuously in a tire circumferential direction, and a plurality of land portions that are defined by the circumferential grooves. The circumferential grooves include an outer circumferential groove that extends adjacently to a tire equator in a region closer to the outer tread end than the tire equator is. The land portions include an outer shoulder land portion that is defined between the outer circumferential groove and the outer tread end so as to continuously extend therebetween in a tire axial direction, and that has the largest width in the tire axial direction among the land portions. The outer shoulder land portion has a first outer lateral groove that extends inward in the tire axial direction and terminates in the outer shoulder land portion. An angle of the first outer lateral groove relative to the tire axial direction at a terminating position in the outer shoulder land portion is 0 to 20°.

The tread has a contact face that is provided with at least one circumferential groove and a transverse grooves opening to the contact face and delimiting contact elements. The tread has a center region and shoulder regions and is provided with at least one compressive contact element among the contact elements. A volumetric void ratio of the compressive contact element in a unit region surrounded by a center of the at least one circumferential groove and a center of the transverse grooves delimiting the compressive contact element is at least equal to 25%. An aspect ratio, which is defined as a ratio of a surface of the compressive contact element supposed to contact with ground divided by a sum of a surface area of the compressive contact element touching with air other than the surface of the compressive contact element supposed to contact with ground, is at most 70%.

A tire tread pattern includes: first sipes in a first land portion between first and second circumferential main grooves; first chamfered surfaces in which a tread surface of the first land portion is inclined toward a first circumferential main groove side in an end portion in a width direction, the first sipes opening to the first chamfered surfaces; second sipes in a second land portion on an opposite side of the first land portion with respect to the second circumferential main groove; and second chamfered surfaces in which a tread surface of the second land portion is inclined toward a second circumferential main groove side in an end portion in the width direction, the second sipes opening to the second chamfered surfaces. The first and second. chamfered surfaces are greater in length in the circumferential direction than in the width direction.

A tread pattern of a tire includes: a circumferential main groove extending in a tire circumferential direction; a plurality of sipes extending in a tire width direction within a region of a land portion in contact in the tire width direction with the circumferential main groove; and a chamfered surface having a tread surface of the land portion inclined toward the circumferential main groove in an end portion in the tire width direction on a circumferential main groove side of the land portion, the chamfered surface being provided in a plurality in the tire circumferential direction, and the sipes opening to the plurality of the chamfered surfaces without reaching a groove wall of the circumferential main groove. The length of the chamfered surface in the tire circumferential direction is greater than the length thereof in the tire width direction.

A pneumatic tire is provided with sipes, at least some of which have an open top end to the surface of the tread block. An intersection of the sipe with a surface that is geometrically congruent and parallel with the surface of the tread block and arranged a depth apart from the surface of the tread block into the tread block forms a curved line. A first sipe is shaped in such a way, that at all depths (d) within a range from the open top of the first sipe to a first transition depth, the curved line includes at least one deflection point having an inner corner that has a radius of curvature under 0.3 mm. A lamella plate for manufacturing the pneumatic tire, the tread band, or the tread block. Use of the lamella plate for manufacturing a tread block, a tread band, or a pneumatic tire.

A tire (1) in which at least one of the said tread pattern blocks (51) comprises a circumferential reinforcing element (52) positioned axially on the inside relative to the said at least one groove (71) when working from the outside towards the inside and axially close to the said circumferential groove, the circumferential reinforcing element (52) is made of a rubber compound having a dynamic shear modulus G* at least twice as high as the dynamic shear modulus G* of the rubber compound of the rest of the blocks of the tread, the circumferential reinforcing element (52) extends radially from the radially exterior surface of the said crown reinforcement (6) towards the surface of the said tread with an axial width which decreases progressively with increasing radial proximity to the outside, and in which the said circumferential reinforcing element (52) partially forms the axially internal lateral face (7i) of the said at least one of the said tread pattern blocks (51).

A tyre for running on rough terrain has a tread portion including a plurality of blocks and tread crossing grooves extending between a first tread edge and a second tread edge without intersecting the blocks. Each of the tread crossing grooves includes a soil discharging space having a width of at least 10 mm or more and extending linearly so as to connect between the first tread edge and the second tread edge. The soil discharging space is inclined at an angle of 30 degrees or more and 50 degrees or less with respect to a tyre axial direction.

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 main groove has a stabilizing structure for increasing tread stiffness. The stabilizing structure has a circumferentially extending subgroove in a radially innermost bottom of the fourth circumferential main groove. The subgroove is axially offset a predetermined amount from a centerline of the fourth circumferential main groove.
