An elastomeric tread for a pneumatic tire is disclosed. The tread has a pair of ribs, one rib being adjacent each lateral edge of the tread, and a plurality of large block elements located between the ribs. The large block elements are in two rows extending circumferentially about the tread. The ribs and the two rows of blocks are separated by three circumferential zigzag grooves. The blocks are further separated by a plurality of lateral grooves. The lateral grooves extend from one rib to the opposite rib.
