Zusammenfassung:	A tire having a sipe is disclosed, which comprises opposing tread element portions separated by the sipe, each opposing tread element portion including a plurality of positive elements (646) and a plurality of negative elements (648). The plurality of positive elements (646) and the plurality of negative elements (648) include six planar side surfaces (652) having a trapezoidal shape, each planar side surface (652) being oriented relative to an adjacent planar side surface by an angle of 120 degrees. The six planar side surfaces (652) are each connected to a planar terminal surface (650) having a hexagonal shape, wherein the planar terminal surface (650) is parallel to a sipe centerline.
