ABSTRACT:
A tire and tread pattern in which the residual cornering force is minimized. The tread pattern comprises: a plurality of design cycles, each comprising a first sub-design-unit (SA) and a second sub-design-unit (SE), the first sub-design-unit (SA) comprises lateral grooves which are inclined to the same direction, the second sub-design-unit (SE) comprises lateral grooves which are inclined to the same direction but the reverse of the first sub-design-unit, the first sub-design-unit (SA) is a mirror image of the second sub-design-unit (SE), and the inclination angles of the lateral grooves in each of the sub-design-units (SA and SE) to the axial direction of the tire are gradually decreased from the circumferential center (M) to each edge (L) of the sub-design-unit.
