AUTOMOTIVE TIRE Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC B60C11/12 B60C11/04 B60C11/117 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to automotive winter tire tread design. Tire (1) has tread (2) containing central part (L1) covering from two sides the equatorial plane (7), and two shoulder parts. The central part (L1) is separated from shoulder parts (L2, L3) of tread by two first circumferential grooves (3, 6). At least two second circumferential grooves (4, 5) are located in the central part (L1). The second circumferential grooves (4, 5) determine margins of the central circumferential bar (10) containing multiple sipes (20) located in parallel to each other and at certain distance from each other. The second circumferential grooves (4, 5) have a mid line running as peak-to-valley scallops throughout tire length in direction along circumference. The mid lines with peak-to-valley scallops are mainly matching in phase with each other throughout tire length (1) in direction along circumference.

EFFECT: better operational properties when moving both over snowy and dry and wet road surfaces.
