PNEUMATIC VEHICLE TYRES

The invention is directed to a pneumatic vehicle tire having a tread with profile positives which are separated from one another in a circumferential direction by transverse channels which extend continuously from the central region of the tread to the lateral tread edges and which are main channels of the tread and which, at least over the major part of the course thereof, have the maximum provided profile depth. The tread has, as profile positives, two rows of transverse ribs which are of encircling form in the circumferential direction and which are separated from one another by respective transverse channels. The tread is of directional configuration, wherein the transverse ribs of one row, and thus the transverse channels running between the transverse ribs, run, with respect to the axial direction, oppositely in relation to the transverse ribs and transverse channels of the other row.
