ABSTRACT:
A pneumatic tire having a block design suited for off-road use, modified to improve rolling resistance and noise properties when used on paved surfaces, has a tread design having angled lateral grooves between the blocks in each circumferential row of blocks in the tread. Narrow grooves separate the blocks in several of the rows of blocks, and tie bars are present in the lateral grooves separating blocks in other rows of blocks. Void areas in the shoulder area of the tire enhance traction in mud and sand.
