Abstract
A tire tread comprising: a first tread element with a first radially outermost surface, a second tread element with a second radially outermost surface, a groove between the first tread element and the second tread element. The groove comprises a first section with a side surface which is inclined with respect to the first radially outermost surface of a first inclination angle; and a second section comprising a radially outermost portion with an inclined surface which is inclined with respect to the first radially outermost surface of a second inclination angle. The latter is narrower than the first inclination angle. The first inclination angle and the second inclination angle exhibit an inclination difference ranging from 20° to 80°. The second section comprises a radially innermost portion with a passage, a slit portion connecting the radially innermost portion to the radially outermost portion. The slit portion is narrower than the passage.
