Abstract:
1. An agricultural wheel tire having a tire tread having first and second lateral edges defining the width of the tread, the tire tread comprising: a plurality of first lugs extending from a center of the tread width and terminating at the first lateral edge of the tire tread; and a plurality of second lugs extending from the center of the tread width and terminating at the second lateral edge of the tire tread; wherein the first and second lugs extend in an alternating manner in a circumferential direction of the tire tread so that side surfaces of adjacent first lugs and an end surface of one of the second lugs disposed between the adjacent first lugs define a first substantially arc shared contour which extends to the first lateral edge of the tire tread and which forms with a surface of the tire tread disposed between the adjacent first lugs a first substantially spherical-shaped depressed portion, and so that side surfaces of adjacent second lugs and an end surface of one of the first lugs disposed between the adjacent second lugs define a second substantially arc shaped contour which extends to the second lateral edge of the tire tread and which forms with a surface of the tire tread disposed between the adjacent second lugs a second substantially spherical-shaped depressed portion.
