Abstract

A pneumatic vehicle tire has a profiled tread, two side walls, and at least one protective rib running on the surface of the side wall over its circumference. The protective rib is disposed above and with a spacing distance from a side wall marking or a side wall decoration. The protective rib has a lower negative contour with at least one recess, which is configured to correspond to the positive contour of the side wall marking or side wall decoration facing the protective rib, such that the protective rib at least partially accommodates the upper half of the side wall marking or side wall decoration in the recess.
