Tyre for a vehicle wheel including a tread-band pattern

A tyre for a vehicle wheel, comprising:

• a tread band;
• wherein the tread band comprises a tread-band pattern,
• wherein the tread-band pattern comprises at least two circumferential portions, wherein at least one of the circumferential portions comprises a first geometric module, wherein the first geometric module comprises:
• an elongated ridge;
• an end block;
• an auxiliary block;
• and
• at least two shoulder blocks;
• wherein the at least two circumferential portions are disposed in axial side-by-side relationship;
• wherein the first geometric module is repeated along a circumferential extension direction of the tyre,
• wherein the elongated ridge is bounded by two grooves oblique to the circumferential extension direction,
• wherein the elongated ridge is divided into a plurality of intermediate blocks with respect to an axial extension direction of the tread band,
• wherein the intermediate blocks are bounded by a plurality of cuts substantially transverse to the elongated ridge;
• wherein the end block defines an axially external end of the elongated ridge, substantially in axial alignment with one of said at least two shoulder blocks;
• wherein the auxiliary block is disposed circumferentially close to the end block, substantially in axial alignment with another of said at least two shoulder blocks;
• wherein the at least two shoulder blocks are associated with the elongated ridge,
• wherein the at least two shoulder blocks are circumferentially aligned along a side edge of the tread band, and
• wherein the at least two shoulder blocks are bounded by grooves oriented substantially transversely to the circumferential extension direction.
