The invention includes tire treads, tires incorporating such treads, and methods for forming the same with a reduced undertread thickness. The treads include a length, a thickness, and a width, the width extending transverse to a direction of the tread thickness and a direction of the tread length. The treads further include a void extending into the tread thickness by a depth to a bottom side of the void, the void having a length and opposing sides spaced apart to form a void width. Yet further the treads include a ridge arranged along the bottom side of the void and protruding outward from the bottom side by a ridge height, the ridge also having a ridge length extending at least substantially continuously along the substantial length of the void.
