Vehicle tyre - in particular a pneumatic vehicle tyre - with a directional tread profile - with, in the two shoulders of the tyre, shoulder profile block rows (19, 24), which are respectively aligned in the circumferential direction and made to extend over the entire circumference of the pneumatic vehicle tyre, and are formed by profile block elements (35, 39) arranged distributed one behind the other in the circumferential direction of the circumference and respectively separated from one another by transverse grooves (25, 29), - with at least one further profile block row (20, 21, 22), which is arranged axially between the shoulder profile block rows (19, 24), aligned in the circumferential direction and made to extend over the entire circumference of the pneumatic vehicle tyre, and is formed by profile block elements (36, 37, 38) arranged distributed one behind the other in the circumferential direction over the circumference and respectively formed separated from one another by transverse grooves (26, 27, 28), - wherein sipes (40, 41, 42, 43, 44) are formed both in the profile block elements (35, 39) of the two shoulder profile block rows (29, 24) and in the profile block elements (36, 37, 38) of the further profile block row (20, 21, 22), - and wherein the width respectively measured transversely to the main direction of extent of the sipes (40, 41, 42, 43, 44) is formed in such a way that the width of the sipes (40, 44) of the profile block elements (35, 39) of the shoulder profile block row (19, 24) is greater than the width of the sipes (41, 42, 43) of the further profile block row (20, 21, 22), characterized - in that the greatest directional component of the main direction of extent of the sipes (41, 42, 43) of the profile block elements (36, 37, 38) of the further profile block row (20, 21, 22) is the axial direction of the pneumatic vehicle tyre. - with, in the two shoulders of the tyre, shoulder profile block rows (19, 24), which are respectively aligned in the circumferential direction and made to extend over the entire circumference of the pneumatic vehicle tyre, and are formed by profile block elements (35, 39) arranged distributed one behind the other in the circumferential direction of the circumference and respectively separated from one another by transverse grooves (25, 29), - with at least one further profile block row (20, 21, 22), which is arranged axially between the shoulder profile block rows (19, 24), aligned in the circumferential direction and made to extend over the entire circumference of the pneumatic vehicle tyre, and is formed by profile block elements (36, 37, 38) arranged distributed one behind the other in the circumferential direction over the circumference and respectively formed separated from one another by transverse grooves (26, 27, 28), - wherein sipes (40, 41, 42, 43, 44) are formed both in the profile block elements (35, 39) of the two shoulder profile block rows (29, 24) and in the profile block elements (36, 37, 38) of the further profile block row (20, 21, 22), - and wherein the width respectively measured transversely to the main direction of extent of the sipes (40, 41, 42, 43, 44) is formed in such a way that the width of the sipes (40, 44) of the profile block elements (35, 39) of the shoulder profile block row (19, 24) is greater than the width of the sipes (41, 42, 43) of the further profile block row (20, 21, 22), characterized - in that the greatest directional component of the main direction of extent of the sipes (41, 42, 43) of the profile block elements (36, 37, 38) of the further profile block row (20, 21, 22) is the axial direction of the pneumatic vehicle tyre.
