A tire for use on an asphalted surface comprises a tread surface (16) comprising a continuously-smooth part (20). The or each continuously-smooth part (20) comprises a plurality of recessed portions (26) and a plurality of raised portions (28). The recessed portions (26) and the raised portions (28) are arranged in such a way that, when the continuously-smooth part (20) rolls along a surface, the mean top-of-raised-portion pressure exerted on average by that surface on the tops (32) of the raised portions (28) is strictly greater than the mean bottom-of-recessed-portion pressure exerted on average by that surface on the bottoms (30) of the recessed portions (26).
