A pneumatic vehicle tire (1) having sidewalls (2) and having a tread (3) and having at least one hatching area (4) on at least one of the sidewalls (2) and/or on the tread (3), wherein the hatching area (4) has mutually adjacently arranged hatching elements (5), wherein each hatching element (5) has a hatching rib (51).
The problem addressed is that of influencing the contrast effect in even more targeted fashion, and further increasing the contrast effect. It is furthermore sought to allow improved ventilation capability during the production of the tire by means of a vulcanization mold.
This is achieved in that each hatching element (5) has short transverse elevations (53), which cross the hatching rib (51) in crossing regions (52), wherein the short transverse elevations (53) cross in each case exactly one hatching rib (51).
