A number of crown tread blocks 2 are provided on both sides of the longitudinal grooves 4 on the tread 1. A number of shoulder tread blocks 8 are provided on both sides of the crown tread blocks 2 on the tread 1. Pattern grooves 7 are provided on both the crown tread blocks 2 and the shoulder tread blocks 8. Water storage holes 5 are provided on both sides of the pattern grooves 7 on the crown tread blocks 2. Stud holes 6 are provided on both sides of the water storage holes 5. The pattern grooves 7 are beneficial to the rigidity of the tread 1 and continuously provide grip throughout the tire life cycle. The water storage holes 5 can store and eliminate the water in the water film between the tire and the road surface. The stud holes 6 can improve the tire strength and, under the condition of ensuring the tread stiffness, thus improve the snow performance and continuous traction force.

[0023] In one embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, a crown reinforcing rib 3 is provided between the crown tread blocks 2. The reinforcing rib 3 can improve the strength between the crown tread blocks 2 and make them more stable.

[0024] In one embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, the depth of the water storage hole 5 is in the range of 10 - 14 mm, and the width W3 of the water storage hole 5 is in the range of 2 - 4 mm, which can store and eliminate the water in the water film between the tire and the road surface.
