VEHICLE TIRES

The invention relates to vehicle tires comprising a profiled tread which has two shoulder block rows (1, 2) with profiled blocks (4, 6) which are separated by transverse grooves (5, 7) and a central tread region which is separated into profiled blocks (12) by grooves (10, 11). The profiled blocks (4, 6) of the shoulder block rows (1, 2) are equipped with cuts (15, 16) which run in a uniformly step-shaped or wave-shaped manner in plan view and each of which extends between the profiled blocks (4, 6) in a parallel manner relative to one another and relative to the transverse grooves (5, 7). The profiled blocks (12) are equipped with cuts (13), each of which extends in a parallel manner relative to one another and at an angle of up to 45° relative to the transverse direction of the tread and at least 50% of the extension of which has a uniform wave-shaped course in plan view, in the central tread region. The wave shape of the cuts (13) formed in the central tread region changes as the tread wear increases so as to provide a reinforcement for the tread in the circumferential direction, said reinforcement being larger than the cuts (15, 16) with increasing tread wear formed in the profiled blocks (4, 6) of the shoulder block rows (1, 2).
