A pneumatic vehicle tire, in particular a commercial vehicle tire, having a tread with transverse grooves (3, 3′), which are continuous over the tread width and which, at least in sections, are formed to the profile depth and are the main grooves of the tread.
Circumferential grooves (4) that run adjacent to one another in pairs and parallel to one another, at an angle (α) with respect to the circumferential direction of 10° to 30° and have a smaller depth than the profile depth divide the tread, with two sections (4a) in each case between three transverse grooves (3, 3′) following one another in the circumferential direction, into profile blocks (1, 2), wherein pairs of circumferential grooves following one another in the circumferential direction are offset with respect to one another in the axial direction, such that the circumferential grooves (4) of the pairs of circumferential grooves begin and end at substantially the same axial positions, wherein each circumferential groove (4) reaches, with a section (4b) running beyond a transverse groove (3), into a middle profile block (2) present between the circumferential grooves (4), and wherein each circumferential groove (4) is formed shallower in at least one section (4a, 4b) than in its other sections or its other section.
