Pneumatic vehicle tire

A pneumatic vehicle tire comprising:

• at least one surface element formed on its outer surface with a peak-and-trough contrast structure formed relative to a base level and covering the surface,
• wherein,
• the peak-and-trough contrast structure is formed from a plurality of contrast structure cells joined together in a grid pattern and having matching forms in top view;
• wherein the peak-and-trough contrast structure has grid-defining troughs along the mutual connection points of the contrast structure cells;
• wherein the contrast structure cells each have an irregular peak-and-trough structure which covers the surface, extends up to the grid-defining troughs and is made solely of a single cohesive branched peak structure and closed-ended troughs projecting from the grid-defining troughs;
• and
• wherein the arrangement of the contrast structure cells and the design of the irregular peak-and-trough structures are such that, viewed from above, the irregular peak-and-trough structures can be transferred into one another by congruent projection.

A pneumatic vehicle tire comprising:

• a sidewall connected to an edge of a tread and having an outer surface;
• a surface element formed on the outer surface with a peak-and-trough contrast structure formed relative to a base level;
• the contrast structure formed from a plurality of contrast structure cells joined in a grid pattern and having matching forms in a top view;
• the contrast structure has grid-defining troughs along mutual connection points of the plurality of contrast structure cells;
• the plurality of contrast structure cells each have an irregular peak-and-trough structure that covers a surface, extends up to the grid-defining troughs and solely consists of a single cohesive branched peak structure and closed-ended troughs projecting from the grid-defining troughs;
• the single cohesive branched peak structure has a plurality of crossing points;
• and
• the single cohesive branched peak structure has a peak saddle and one or more peak flanks, wherein the peak flanks project from the peak saddle up to the base level.
