Utility Vehicle Tire

The invention relates to a utility vehicle tire having a tread with at least two circumferential channels (), which are formed to a profile depth (T) and which separate central profile positives () and shoulder-side profile positives () from one another, the circumferential channels () having channel flanks () toward the central profile positives () and the shoulder-side profile positives () having shoulder flanks () running toward the side wall. At least one channel flank () of at least one circumferential channel () and/or at least one shoulder flank () is provided with depressions (′) which extend into the profile positives () and are open toward the surface of the tread and which, determined in each case at the periphery of the tread, have with respect to the level of the channel flank () or shoulder flank () a depth (t, t′) of 2.0 mm to 5.0 mm and at the level of the channel flank () or shoulder flank () a width (b, b′) of 4.0 mm to 15.0 mm, each depression (′) being delimited by at least one surface (7, 7, 7′), the surface(s) () being curved in such a way that, at its or their radially inner ends, it or they go(es) over without a kink into the channel flank () at a depth (T), determined in the radial direction, of 35% to 90% of the profile depth (T) or go(es) over without a kink into the shoulder flank () at a depth (T′), determined in the radial direction, of 35% to 150% of the profile depth (T).
