Abstract

A vehicle tire having a directionally bound tread pattern is described in which an inner circumferential groove is provided on both sides of a central circumferential rib and in each case has a smaller width than the circumferential rib, and in which an intermediate tread zone is in each case formed between the inner circumferential groove and the respective outer circumferential groove in which oblique grooves are provided which are curved in an arc-shaped manner in the direction of the shoulder regions.
