TIRE COMPRISING A PATTERN PROVIDING A HIGH CONTRAST

An aspect of the present invention relates to a tire comprising a sidewall, the sidewall having a surface comprising a surface portion including a hexagonal textured base pattern repeated over the surface portion so as to form a periodic textured pattern providing a high contrast to the surface portion. The hexagonal textured base pattern comprises protrusions and recesses, the protrusions and the recesses of the repeated textured base pattern cooperating to form respective lineal features extending over at least two of the repeated hexagonal textured base patterns.
