Zusammenfassung:The invention comprises a tire tread, and tire, and a method of forming a tire having the tire tread. Particular embodiments of the tire tread comprise a tread thickness bounded by a top side and a bottom side and opposing lateral sides and a groove extending into the tread thickness from the tread top side and terminating within a thickness of the tread at a groove bottom, the groove having a width defined by a pair of opposing sides and the groove bottom being spaced from the bottom side of the tread by an undertread thickness. Such tire tread further includes a plurality of strengthening members forming protrusions extending into the groove from the groove bottom and from at least one side of the pair of opposing groove sides, the plurality of strengthening members being arranged along a length of the groove.
