The pneumatic tyre, especially a radial ply tyre for private motor vehicles, has a tread with its area in contact with the ground divided into two structurally different encompassing profile sections, and two circumferential areas of a first and a second tread mixture respectively. The boundary between the two circumferential areas (M1,M2,M1',M2') of the different mixtures is offset in the axial direction in relation to the boundary between the two differently structured profile sections (P1,P2).
