PNEUMATIC TYRE FOR VEHICLES

Vehicle pneumatic tire with a tread (1) having profile positives, such as profile ribs (4), which have outer surfaces (4a) contacting the ground when the tire rolls, and with at least one circumferential groove (2, 2', 3) running around in the circumferential direction and designed to the intended profile depth (T), which, viewed in cross-section, has two mutually opposite groove flanks (5, 5', 6) and a groove bottom (7) connecting the groove flanks (5, 5', 6) to one another and a width increasing from the groove bottom (7) to the outer surfaces (4a). [0002] The groove flanks (5, 5', 6) are, viewed in cross-section, continuously configured in a wave-like manner and provided with at least one outwardly rounded section (5a, 5'a, 5c) forming a wave crest and with at least one inwardly rounded section (5b, 5'b) forming a wave trough, whereby these sections (5a, 5'a, 5b, 5'b, 5c) transition tangentially into one another.
