Patent ID: 8701724

Claim:
A tyre for a vehicle wheel, comprising: a tread band; wherein the tread band comprises a tread-band pattern, wherein the tread-band pattern comprises: at least two circumferential portions, at least one of the circumferential portions comprising a first geometric module, wherein the first geometric module comprises: an elongated ridge; and at least two shoulder blocks; wherein the at least two circumferential portions are disposed in axial side-by-side relationship; wherein the first geometric module is repeated along a circumferential extension direction of the tyre, wherein the elongated ridge is bounded by two grooves oblique to the circumferential extension direction, wherein the elongated ridge is divided into a plurality of intermediate blocks with respect to an axial extension direction of the tread band, wherein the intermediate blocks are bounded by a plurality of cuts substantially transverse to the elongated ridge; wherein the at least two shoulder blocks are associated with the elongated ridge, wherein the at least two shoulder blocks are circumferentially aligned along a side edge of the tread band, wherein the at least two shoulder blocks are bounded by grooves oriented substantially transversely to the circumferential extension direction, wherein at least one circumferential shoulder groove separates the elongated ridge from the at least two shoulder blocks, wherein each intermediate block defines a substantially trapezoidal shape, wherein the plurality of cuts comprises first and second cuts, wherein the first cuts are substantially perpendicular to the circumferential extension direction, and wherein the second cuts are substantially perpendicular to the oblique grooves.
