COMMERCIAL VEHICLE TYRE

The invention relates to a commercial vehicle tire having a tread with at least one profile rib which runs in encircling fashion in a circumferential direction, is arranged laterally with respect to the tire equatorial plane and has sipes extending through it, which sipes each have sipe walls, a sipe midplane spaced apart equally from the sipe walls, a width of 0.4 mm to 2.0 mm and a maximum depth in a radial direction of at least 40% of the profile depth, wherein each sipe, at least in a portion which runs over the predominant part thereof as seen in plan view, has at least one sipe zone which is offset in relation to the radially outer sipe periphery and which runs in an extent direction of the sipe in an undulating form and in arcuate or singly serrated form in a radial direction, wherein a plane running through the point of the maximum excursion of the sipe zone has a line of intersection with the sipe midplane, which line of intersection follows the undulating form of the sipe zone.The sipe runs in the undulating form exclusively in the sipe zone, wherein the amplitude of the line of intersection that follows the undulating form of the sipe zone decreases, in each line-of-intersection portion running over one half of a wavelength, in the direction of the tread-outside sipe end.
