A tire for a road vehicle is configured to have a predetermined direction of rotation. The tire includes fins for modifying the vehicle's drag and/or lift. The fins are arranged on a sidewall of the tire and form an angle α in a projection plane perpendicular to an axis X of the tire, with the angle α belonging to a domain [−3π/8, −π/12] or a domain [0, +3π/8]. Each fin extends within a range ]Dm, DM[ of distances from the axis X of the tire. A height of each fin varies continuously as a function of a distance from the axis X of the tire, with every point of maximum height of the fin being at a distance from the axis X of the tire that is less than or equal to Dm+0.40 (DM−Dm).
