Vehicle tire having sipes

A vehicle tire comprising a tread portion with a tread face, and sipes disposed in the tread portion,

• each of the sipes consisting of a radially outer part and radially inner parts,
• the radially outer part defined as extending radially inwards from the tread face to a certain depth H and extending continuously in the longitudinal direction of the sipe,
• said radially inner parts each extending radially inwards from the radially inner end of the radially outer part at said certain depth H,
• said radially inner parts being at least one first inner part and at least two second inner parts,
• said at least one first inner part each defined as inclined towards one side of the radially outer part (a) from the radially outer end thereof at said certain depth H to the radially inner end thereof or (b) from a position radially inwardly at a small distance from the radially outer end thereof to the radially inner end thereof and
• said at least two second inner parts each defined as inclined towards the other side of the radially outer part from the radially outer end thereof at said certain depth H to the radially inner end thereof,
• the first and second inner parts alternating with each other in the longitudinal direction, and gaps between the first and second inner parts in the longitudinal direction being at most 2 mm, wherein said at least one first inner part of one of said sipes overlaps said at least two second inner parts of an adjacent sipe when viewing a cross-section of the tread portion.
