SPIKE AND VEHICLE TYRES WITH SPIKES IN THE TREAD

Spike (1) for anchoring in a spike hole of a tread of a vehicle tire with a spike body (2), which has a foot flange (3), an upper body section (2c) and a spike pin (4) anchored in the spike body (2), which with an outer pin section (4a) protrudes beyond the upper body section (2c) of the spike body (2), wherein the spike pin (4) has arms (4b) enclosing three equal angles with one another, which run according to the prongs of a three-pointed star. [0002] The upper body section (2c) of the spike body (2) is designed similarly to a hexagonal prism and has a top side (6) shaped regularly hexagonal in plan view and an outer side with surface elements (5) corresponding to the prism sides, between which in each case a rounded corner region (7a, 7b) formed by further surface elements (5') is formed, to which corner regions three first and three second corner regions (7a, 7b) belong, which alternate with one another and have interior angles (α, β) of different sizes.
