The groove (32) defines one lateral side and a lateral boundary of a plurality of tread elements (46). At least one tread element has a chamfer (50) within the tread element and inward of the lateral boundary of the tread element. The chamfer (50) extends in the circumferential direction of the tire and has an inclined radially outer surface. The chamfer (50) has at least one traction element (60) in the radially outer surface, the indentation extending radially inward of the radially outer surface of the chamfer.
