PNEUMATIC TIRE FOR VEHICLES Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC B60C11/12 B60C11/13 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to pneumatic tire for vehicles, in particular to be used in winter conditions of driving. Tread is provided with multiple narrow sipes (4) which pass in transversal direction of tread in parallel to each other. Mutually opposite walls (5) of sipes contain mutually matching projections (6, 7) and recesses (16, 17). The projections (6, 7) are rounded raised areas. The projections (6) are located in separate areas in radially outer region of one sipe wall (5). In this structure, each of mentioned projections (6) has one flat side forming supporting surface (6a) oriented in radial direction and essentially perpendicular to sipe wall (5). The projections (7) are located in separate areas in radially inner region of one sipe wall (5). In this structure, each of mentioned projections (7) has one flat side forming supporting surface (7a) passing essentially in parallel to upper surface of positive profile.

EFFECT: better tire adhesion to ice-covered road surface while providing uniform wear of tire tread.
