- the ground contact area is not only much wider than in the first operating state, but it comes within the
- Circumferentially extending groove separated. This groove may be zigzag or wavy and so in a further operating condition some contribution to the
- this groove can run either inside or outside or partly inside and partly outside the first contact area, so that certain properties of the tread in the first operating state can be influenced in this way.
- This groove is also shallower than the deepest grooves in that profiling, which comes into contact with the ground in the first operating state.
- Particularly advantageous is an embodiment in which the shoulder portions in a further operating state of the tire mounted on the rim completely in the
- This operating condition will be chosen especially when the tire requires a particularly effective traction, such as on snow, slush or other mud.
- the blocks of the shoulder portions support the action of the shoulder portions in the further operating states of the tire.
- the blocks may be provided with at least one, in particular with a plurality of incisions, which have at least one zigzag or wave-shaped section in plan view or which extend over their entire extension in a zigzag or wavy manner. Also, a straight plan view of these cuts is possible. It is particularly advantageous if these cuts at the periphery of the blocks have a width of 0.5 mm to 1.0 mm and a depth of 1.5 mm to 2.5 mm.
- the blocks may be provided in the shoulder portions at least partially superficial and hatch-like with incisions having a width and a depth of 0.3 mm to 0.6 mm. These cuts run in the first
- a further embodiment which has advantageous effects on the traction properties of the shoulder portions, is that, viewed in the circumferential direction, the grooves between the blocks of the shoulder portions in the first operating state to the radial direction at an acute angle, which is preferably 5 ° to 30 °, run, wherein the inclination of these grooves are such that they are inclined alternately with respect to the radial direction to one and the other circumferential direction.
- the pneumatic vehicle tire is intended for use or mounting on a rim whose rim mouth width is variable, wherein the rim is set in the first operating state to a smaller, in particular to the smallest, rim mouth width than in the other operating states. In the first operating state, furthermore, the tire is operated with an internal pressure which is set to a greater value than in the other
- 1 is a schematic sectional view (cross section) of a portion of a tread and sidewall contour of a pneumatic vehicle tire

- the one lateral edge of the section 3a is marked in FIG. 1 by a line Ii running in the radial direction.
- the first operating conditions are defined by the fact that the vehicle tire in question is mounted on a standard rim, loaded with 70% of the maximum load capacity and with an internal pressure equal to 85% of the standard pressure, in accordance with ETRTO standards.
- the tire has the usual, a skilled person well known components such as a multi-layer belt bandage, a radial carcass, an inner layer and bead areas with bead cores and
- the outer contour 1 of the tread 3 shown in Fig. 1 is that which has the unloaded, mounted on its standard rim and inflated with an internal pressure of 85% of the standard pressure tire.
- the outer contour 1 is rounded in the unloaded state in the section 3a and rounded over the shoulder section 4, the shoulder section 4 terminating at an edge 6.
- At this edge 6 includes one
- the edge 6 is in a radial distance a determined by a running in the axial direction through the Reifenzenit Vietnamese on the outer contour 1 line L 2 , depending on the tire dimension, 35 mm 50 mm.
- the outer contour 1 of the tread 3 is almost circular arc.
- the rounding of the outer contour 1 in this section can be composed of circular arcs of different radii, but the sizes of which deviate from one another by at most ⁇ 3.0 mm.
- this section of the outer contour is composed of circular arcs whose radii are 76 mm to 79 mm.
- the beam contour 2 of the tread extends as an envelope along the lowest points of grooves in the section 3a and in the shoulder sections 4
- the profiling in the shoulder portions 4 comprises blocks 8a, 8b, which are separated from each other in the circumferential direction by grooves 9a, 9b running in the direction of the edge 6.
- the blocks 8a, 8b and the grooves 9a, 9b extend to the edge 6 or almost to the edge 6, wherein the grooves 9a, 9b have a depth of up to 3.0 mm.
