What is claimed: 1 . A tread for a pneumatic tire comprising: a plurality of trapezoidal channels, each trapezoidal channel extending circumferentially from a first end to a second end, the first end being wider than the second end; a sipe extending laterally adjacent the second ends of the trapezoidal channels; and a plurality of rectangular channels, each rectangular channel extending circumferentially from a first end to a second end, the first ends of the rectangular channels being adjacent the sipe. 2 . The tread as set forth in claim 1 wherein the each block of the tread contains the plurality of trapezoidal channels, the sipe, and the plurality of rectangular channels. 3 . A pneumatic tire comprising: a pair of annular, inextensible beads; a carcass ply extending between the beads; and a tread extending circumferentially around a radially outermost portion of the carcass ply, the tread including at least one tread block, the tread block including: a plurality of trapezoidal channels, each trapezoidal channel extending circumferentially from a first end to a second end, the first end being wider than the second end; a sipe extending laterally adjacent the second ends of the trapezoidal channels; and a plurality of rectangular channels, each rectangular channel extending circumferentially from a first end to a second end, the first ends of the rectangular channels being adjacent the sipe.
