A TYRE FOR VEHICLE WHEELS

A tyre (1) comprising a tread band (2) provided with : - a plurality of central blocks (10a, 10b) disposed in sequence along an equatorial plane (M) defined on the tread band, - a plurality of shoulder blocks (11) extending from opposite axial ends of the tread band (2) towards the equatorial plane, and - a plurality of intermediate blocks (12) disposed in sequence along the circumferential development of the tread band (2) between the central blocks and the shoulder blocks. The plurality of central blocks comprises a plurality of first central blocks (10a) formed by a first branch (15a) and by a second branch (16a) which are substantially rectilinear and extend from a common end in a first direction (A) and a second direction (B) respectively, in order to define a V with its concave portion facing a first axial end (4a) of the tread band, and a plurality of second central blocks (10b) disposed in alternating sequence with the first central blocks and formed by a first branch (15b) and a second branch (16b) which are substantially rectilinear and extend from a common end in the second direction (B) and the first direction (A) respectively, in order to define a V with its concave portion facing a second axial end (4b) of the tread band.
