A tread profile of a pneumatic vehicle tyre having profile block elements (2) which are spaced apart from one another by profile grooves (3, 4, 5) and which are each bounded outwardly by a radially outer surface (6) which forms the ground contact face, wherein a plurality of additional fine grooves (9, 10, 11, 12), which extend along a second main direction of extent and are embodied with a groove width Bp and with a groove depth TF, are arranged one behind the other in a first main direction of extent in the radially outer surface (6) of the profile block elements (2), characterized in that the groove width Bp is 0.05 mm < BF < 0.4 mm and the groove depth TF where TF is < 0.05 mm, and in that at least the fine grooves (9, 10, 11, 12), arranged one behind the other within a surface section (7) of the radially outer surface (6) of a profile block element (2) are embodied with different groove widths Bp, wherein the groove width Bp of these fine grooves (9, 10, 11, 12), arranged one behind the other in the surface section (7), increases in a first orientation of the first main direction of extent, viewed along the extent of the surface section (7) – in particular from the fine groove (9, 10, 11) to the fine groove (10, 11, 12).
