PNEUMATIC TIRE Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC B60C11/12 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to tread pattern of automobile tire intended to be used on ice. On the surface of tire crown zone located between both edges of tread there are multiple grooves positioned in circumferential direction of tire; multiple transversal grooves located in transversal direction of tire. Each of transversal grooves has point of curvature between main grooves and/or between main groove and tire edge so that they have convex from in circumferential direction of tire. Multiple main grooves and multiple transversal grooves from multiple separate blocks each one of which includes circumferential projection of shape that coincides with convex form of transversal grooves. Each of the blocks contains at least one transversal lamel located in tire transversal direction and coinciding in its shape with transversal grooves where transversal lamel size in tire transversal direction is equal to size of block with transversal lamel located in it if both ones are projected on one plane including tire rotation axis and perpendicular to block surface.

EFFECT: better tire friction properties on ice.
