A pneumatic vehicle tire, in particular a commercial-vehicle tire, having a one- or multi-ply carcass, a multi-ply belt or breaker and having a profiled tread with grooves formed to a profile depth, wherein the profiled tread is provided at the tire shoulders either with a respective block row (2) or with a respective profile rib (7), wherein the blocks (1) of the shoulder-side block rows (2), or the shoulder-side profile ribs (7) each have a peripheral edge (1a, 7a) laterally delimiting the ground contact patch of the tire, or a shoulder rounding with a radius of up to 30.0 mm, wherein shoulder flank surfaces that extend in a radial direction adjoin the peripheral edges or the shoulder roundings, and wherein, in the case of shoulder roundings, an imaginary section line is defined between an envelope of the tread that is continued beyond the shoulder rounding and the shoulder flank surface that is continued beyond the shoulder rounding. The shoulder flank surfaces are provided, at in particular regular intervals over the tire circumference and within a distance (a) of 1.25 times to 2.5 times the profile depth from the respective peripheral edge (1a, 7a) or, in the case of shoulder roundings, from the imaginary section line, with at least one areal recess (6, 6′, 6″) having a depth (t) of 0.5 mm to 5.0 mm, which contains ribs (5) that extend parallel to one another and have a height (h) such that the ribs (5) do not project beyond the level of the shoulder flank surfaces.
A pneumatic vehicle tire comprising a carcass having at least one ply, a multi-ply belt or breaker, and a profiled tread with grooves formed to a profile depth, wherein the profiled tread is provided at tire shoulders a shoulder-side block row;
