AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing vehicle pneumatic tires face a conflict between on-road characteristics such as braking performance, dry handling, and acoustic properties, and off-road characteristics like traction properties, particularly in 'all-terrain' tires.
Method used
A vehicle pneumatic tire design featuring hexagonal first blocks with chamfered edges and symmetrical arrangement, combined with polygonal blocks, ensures soft rolling and lateral stability, enhancing dry handling on roads while maintaining traction in off-road conditions.
Benefits of technology
The tire achieves improved dry handling and acoustic properties on roads without compromising traction in off-road conditions by stabilizing the blocks under lateral forces and optimizing water drainage and noise reduction.

Abstract
The invention relates to a vehicle pneumatic tire (1) comprising a tread (2) with a first row of profile blocks (3) consisting of hexagonal first blocks (8) arranged one behind the other in the circumferential direction (7) and separated from each other by transverse grooves (6), wherein the first blocks (8) have parallel pairs of edges (11, 12, 13) and are each mirror-symmetrical with respect to the circumferential direction (7) of the vehicle pneumatic tire (1), wherein edges (14a, 14b) of a first pair of edges (11) of the respective first block (8) run parallel to the circumferential direction (7) and the remaining edges (15a, 15b, 16a, 16b) each form an angle with the circumferential direction (7) and with an axial direction (17) of the vehicle pneumatic tire (1), wherein the edges (14a, 14b) of the first pair of edges (11) of the respective first block (8) are chamfered at least in sections.
