Abstract

A pneumatic vehicle tire having a tread with at least one profile block row delimited at each side by a respective circumferential channel which is divided into profile blocks by transverse channels which open into both circumferential channels and run parallel to one another in plan view. Each transverse channel, in plan view, is made up of two channel portions which adjoin one another at an obtuse angle of 100° to 160°. In each profile block there is a blind channel which opens into both channel portions of a transverse channel and which is elongate in plan view and, with the transverse channel, forms a channel combination running in a Y shape in plan view, which blind channel has a width, determined at the tread periphery, of 1.0 mm to 6.0 mm and runs at an angle of 0° to 60° with respect to the circumferential direction.
