Systems and methods for sipe patterns

A tire tread comprising:

• a first set of sipes extending from a longitudinal axis of the tire tread towards a first edge of the tire tread at a first non-zero angle with respect to a lateral axis of the tire tread, the first set of sipes defining a first length from a first termination point to a second termination point, the first set of sipes comprising:
• a first sipe;
• and
• a second sipe positioned at a first pitch distance from the first sipe;
• and
• a second set of sipes extending from the longitudinal axis toward the first edge of the tire tread at a second non-zero angle with respect to the lateral axis, the second set of sipes defining a second length from a third termination point to a fourth termination point, the second set of sipes comprising:
• a third sipe;
• and
• a fourth sipe positioned at a second pitch distance from the third sipe;
• wherein the first non-zero angle is different from the second non-zero angle;
• wherein each sipe of the first set of sipes has a first depth along the first length and each sipe of the second set of sipes has a second depth along the second length, the first depth being different from the second depth;
• and
• wherein the first depth and the second depth are greater than 50% of a height of a plurality tread elements of the tire tread.

A tire tread comprising:

• a plurality of tread elements positioned on a tire tread surface and forming a tread pattern, one or more of the plurality of tread elements defining a tread element height;
• a first set of sipes defining a first length extending between a first edge of the tire tread and a second edge of the tire tread at a first non-zero angle with respect to a lateral axis of the tire tread, the first set of sipes including a first sipe having a first depth along the length and a second sipe having a second depth different from the first depth, each sipe in the first set of sipes positioned apart from one another by a pitch distance;
• and
• a second set of sipes defining a second length extending between the first edge of the tire tread and the second edge of the tire tread at a second non-zero angle different from the first non-zero angle with respect to the lateral axis of the tire tread, the second set of sipes having a third depth different from the first depth and the second depth;
• wherein the first depth, the second depth, and the third depth are greater than 50% of the tread element height;
• and
• wherein the first set of sipes intersects the second set of sipes.
