A tread for a tire (10) and a respective tire (10) is disclosed. The tread (11) comprises a circumferential groove (22) having a radially outermost and axially inner first groove edge (240) and a radially outermost and axially outer second groove edge (241). A centerline (227) or center plane of the circumferential groove (22) extends circumferentially along the circumferential groove (22) and axially in the middle between the first and second groove edge (240, 241). The circumferential groove (22) comprises a stabilizing structure (220) for increasing tread stiffness. The stabilizing structure (220) comprises a circumferentially extending subgroove (222) or slit in a radially innermost bottom of the circumferential groove (22). The subgroove (222) or slit is axially offset from the centerline (227) or center plane of the circumferential groove (22).
