Pneumatic vehicle tyres comprising a tread which has a profile rib (1), on at least one tyre shoulder, running in the circumferential direction and delimited on the tread inner side by a circumferential groove (2), and in which transverse grooves (3) are formed, extending in the axial direction, executed as incisions and running parallel to one another, which transverse grooves run on the tread outer side past the ground contact area width and stop on the tread inner side at a distance (b) from the circumferential groove (2) delimiting the profile rib (1). Each at least three transverse grooves (3) following one another in the circumferential direction form a transverse groove group, in which the ends of the respective outermost transverse grooves (3) are connected to additional grooves (7a, 7b), which run in the circumferential direction laterally in relation to the inner transverse grooves (3) running between the outermost transverse grooves (3), to form frame-like grooves (3, 7a, 7b), wherein the additional grooves (7a, 7b) have a width (b2) of 0.5 mm to 2.0 mm and a depth of 1.0 mm to 3.0 mm.
