PNEUMATIC VEHICLE TIRE

A vehicle tire has outer shoulders and two tread halves. The vehicle tire includes a tire tread having six block rows and a plurality of circumferential grooves. Mutually adjacent ones of the block rows are separated from each other by a corresponding one of the plurality of circumferential grooves. Each of the block rows has a plurality of individual blocks and the individual blocks of each of the block rows are separated from each other by mutually parallel essentially straight transverse grooves running at an angle to the axial direction of the tire. The circumferential grooves includes first circumferential grooves having a maximum profile depth and second circumferential grooves. The block rows are arranged such that each tread profile half has two pairs of block rows. The pairs of block rows of each tread profile half are separated from each other by a corresponding one of the first circumferential grooves. The block rows of each of the pairs of block rows are separated from each other by a corresponding one of the second circumferential grooves. The second circumferential grooves have a second profile depth less than the maximum profile depth. A first portion of the transverse grooves defines first outlet locations to the first circumferential grooves and a second portion of the transverse grooves has first outlet locations to the outer shoulders. The transverse grooves have a depth approximately corresponding to the maximum profile depth at the first outlet locations. The transverse grooves define second outlet locations to a corresponding one of the second circumferential grooves. The transverse grooves have a depth corresponding to the second profile depth at the second outlet locations.
