Tyre for vehicle wheels, comprising a tread band divided by an equatorial plane of said tyre into an outer tread band region, intended to face the outside of said vehicle when the tyre is mounted on said vehicle, and an inner tread band region, which is axially opposite said outer region, wherein on said tread band there are formed: - a pair of shoulder regions (7, 8) that are axially opposite one another; - at least a first circumferential rib interposed between said pair of shoulder regions and delimited by a first pair of circumferential grooves (10, 11); - a plurality of first blind recesses, which are formed in said first circumferential rib and have a first longitudinal extension, - a plurality of second blind recesses, which are formed in said first circumferential rib and have a second longitudinal extension that is smaller than said first longitudinal extension, - at least a second circumferential rib interposed between said pair of shoulder regions and delimited by a second pair of circumferential grooves (13, 14), said second pair of circumferential grooves being separate from, or partially coinciding with, said first pair of circumferential grooves (10, 11); - a plurality of through-recesses, which are formed in said second circumferential rib and extend between the circumferential grooves (13, 14) of said second pair of circumferential grooves, and wherein: - said at least one first circumferential rib comprises an outer circumferential rib, which is formed on said outer tread band region and is delimited by a first outer circumferential groove and by a second outer circumferential groove which form said first pair of circumferential grooves; and - said first blind recesses comprise a first portion, substantially rectilinear, which extends from said first outer circumferential groove with a first inclination with respect to a circumferential direction of said tread band, and a second portion, substantially rectilinear, which is connected to said first portion and has a second inclination with respect to said circumferential direction that is smaller than said first inclination. - a pair of shoulder regions (7, 8) that are axially opposite one another; - at least a first circumferential rib interposed between said pair of shoulder regions and delimited by a first pair of circumferential grooves (10, 11); - a plurality of first blind recesses, which are formed in said first circumferential rib and have a first longitudinal extension, - a plurality of second blind recesses, which are formed in said first circumferential rib and have a second longitudinal extension that is smaller than said first longitudinal extension, - at least a second circumferential rib interposed between said pair of shoulder regions and delimited by a second pair of circumferential grooves (13, 14), said second pair of circumferential grooves being separate from, or partially coinciding with, said first pair of circumferential grooves (10, 11); - a plurality of through-recesses, which are formed in said second circumferential rib and extend between the circumferential grooves (13, 14) of said second pair of circumferential grooves, - said at least one first circumferential rib comprises an outer circumferential rib, which is formed on said outer tread band region and is delimited by a first outer circumferential groove and by a second outer circumferential groove which form said first pair of circumferential grooves; and - said first blind recesses comprise a first portion, substantially rectilinear, which extends from said first outer circumferential groove with a first inclination with respect to a circumferential direction of said tread band, and a second portion, substantially rectilinear, which is connected to said first portion and has a second inclination with respect to said circumferential direction that is smaller than said first inclination.
