Abstract

A pneumatic vehicle tire comprising a tread strip which forms the tire tread and is made from an electrically insulating or poorly conducting material and comprising, beneath the tread strip, a layer which is a good electrical conductor wherein, in order to bring about an adequate dissipation of electrical charge from the vehicle bodywork, the layer which is of good electrical conductivity extends at least regionally up to and into the tire running surface when considered over the circumference of the tire.
