A vehicle tire having a sidewall with at least one sidewall decoration that extends at least over a circumferential portion of the sidewall and is made up of structured surface elements, smooth surface elements and base hatching that adjoins these surface elements and is made up of hatching ribs that extend without branching and intersecting, wherein the structured surface elements reproduce a copy or a shadow at least of partial regions of smooth surface elements, and the structured surface elements absorb light to a greater extent than the base hatching. The structured surface elements are each provided with an area-covering contrast structure with branched rib portions, wherein each branched rib portion has intersection points from which the rib portion respectively extends in at least three directions.
