Pneumatic vehicle tyre
The invention relates to a pneumatic vehicle tire with a tread with at least one circumferential groove, which is formed to the profile depth and has a groove base and groove flanks, wherein free-standing webs, which are at a distance from one another in the circumferential direction, are elongate in the circumferential direction and have a top surface running parallel to the tread periphery and a height of 7% to 30% of the profile depth, are formed on the groove base, wherein at least one protrusion, which sits on the groove base and is elongate in the circumferential direction, is formed between successive webs in the circumferential direction on and along each groove flank, wherein the one protrusion overlaps the other protrusion with respect to the circumferential direction, at least in portions, so that between the protrusions there remains a groove-base channel, which has a constant width in the axial direction between protrusion edges which are formed on the protrusions and run at a constant depth and in the circumferential direction.
1 . A pneumatic vehicle tire comprising:
a tread with a circumferential groove, being formed to a profile depth (T P ), and has a groove base and groove flanks ( 2 b );
free-standing webs, which are at a distance from one another in a circumferential direction, are elongate in the circumferential direction and have a top surface running parallel to a tread periphery, being formed on the groove base;
at least one protrusion, which sits on the groove base and is elongate in the circumferential direction, is formed between successive webs in the circumferential direction on and along each groove flank;
wherein one protrusion of the at least one protrusion overlaps other protrusions with respect to the circumferential direction, so that between the protrusions there remains a groove-base channel, which has a constant width (b RG ) in an axial direction between protrusion edges which are formed on the protrusions and run at a constant depth (t 1 ) and in the circumferential direction;
wherein each web is locally widened on each side in the middle by an outwardly rounded side part, which is partly delimited by a top surface of the web, wherein one side part lies opposite an other side part and wherein the web has at the side parts a maximum width (b S, MAX ), determined in the axial direction at the level of the top surface, of at most 100% of the width (b RG ) of the groove-base channel;
wherein the maximum width is at least 70% of the width of the groove-base channel;
wherein the constant width (b RG ) of the groove-base channel is 60%, of the width (B 1 ) of the circumferential groove at the tread periphery;
wherein the web has in the area outside its side parts a width (b S ), determined in the axial direction at the level of the top surface, which is at least 1.5 mm, smaller than the maximum width (b S, MAX ) of the web present in the area of the side parts;
wherein the side parts are positioned symmetrically in relation to one another with respect to a longitudinally sectional center plane (E 1 ) of the web defined by the circumferential direction and the radial direction;
wherein the height (h S ) of the web is 10% to 20% of the profile depth (T P ); and
wherein on the sides of each web, the groove flanks are provided with bevels ( 2 b ′), which run to the tread periphery, overhang the web in the circumferential direction, at least on one side, run at an angle (δ) of 40° to 50°, in relation to the radial direction and have a width (b F ) of 1.2 mm to 2.0 mm and a circumferential length (c F ) of 18.0 mm to 25.0 mm;
wherein the side parts are formed symmetrically with respect to a cross-sectional center plane (E 2 ) of the web defined by the axial direction and the radial direction; and
wherein the web has a maximum circumferential length (c S ), determined at the level of the top surface and projected in the circumferential direction, of 8.0 mm to 12.0 mm.
2 . The pneumatic tire of claim 1 , wherein the tire is an off-road SUV tire.
3 . The pneumatic tire of claim 1 , wherein protrusions in the groove flank are offset in relation to protrusions formed in the other groove flank.
4 . The pneumatic tire of claim 1 , wherein a side surface of a side part is curved in the form of a circular arc and adjoins the groove base continuously.
