Zusammenfassung:A tread for a tire includes a first circumferential main groove; a second circumferential main groove; a third circumferential main groove; and a fourth circumferential main groove. The fourth circumferential main groove has a stabilizing structure for increasing tread stiffness. The stabilizing structure is axially offset a predetermined amount from a centerline of the fourth circumferential main groove. The fourth circumferential main groove has an angled axially inner sidewall, an angled axially outer sidewall, and a curved base surface. The stabilizing structure extends radially inward from the curved base surface of the fourth circumferential main groove.
