The bent angle of the outboard shoulder lateral groove is larger than the bent angle of the inboard shoulder lateral groove.

A tire has a tread portion whose position specified when mounted on a vehicle. An outer shoulder land region has outer shoulder axial grooves. An inner shoulder land region has inner shoulder axial grooves. The outer shoulder axial grooves include inner groove portions and outer groove portions so as to be bent convexly to one side in a tire circumferential direction. The inner shoulder axial grooves include inner groove portions and outer groove portions so as to be bent convexly to the other side in the tire circumferential direction. The inner groove portions of the inner shoulder axial grooves have an angle larger than an angle of the inner groove portions of the outer shoulder axial grooves. The outer groove portions of the inner shoulder axial grooves have an angle smaller than an angle of the outer groove portions of the outer shoulder axial grooves.

A tread portion 2 can include an inner tread end, an outer tread end, circumferential grooves, and land portions. The circumferential grooves can include an inner shoulder circumferential groove and an outer shoulder circumferential groove. The land portions can include an inner shoulder land portion and an outer shoulder land portion. The inner shoulder land portion can include inner shoulder lateral grooves and inner shoulder sipes. The outer shoulder land portion can include outer shoulder lateral grooves and outer shoulder sipes. Each outer shoulder sipe can have a chamfered portion at each of sipe edges on both sides. The chamfered portion can have a chamfered width that increases from a terminating end side toward the outer shoulder circumferential groove.

A tire having a tread portion, wherein the tread portion can include a pair of shoulder circumferential grooves, a pair of crown circumferential grooves, and a pair of middle land portions. Each middle land portion can include a plurality of middle sipes. Each middle sipe can have a chamfered portion at at least one of sipe edges on both opposite ends thereof. The chamfered portion can extend from the crown circumferential groove to the shoulder circumferential groove. A first chamfered width of the chamfered portion at a first one of the opposite ends on a crown circumferential groove side can be greater than a second chamfered width of the chamfered portion at a second one of the opposite ends on a shoulder circumferential groove side.

A tire that includes a tread portion having a designated mounting direction to a vehicle can comprise: an outer shoulder land portion having a greatest width, in the tire axial direction, of a ground contact surface among five land portions. The outer shoulder land portion can include a plurality of outer shoulder sipes connected to an outer shoulder circumferential groove. An outer middle land portion can include a plurality of outer middle sipes extending completely across the outer middle land portion in the tire axial direction. The outer shoulder sipes and the outer middle sipes each can include a pair of sipe walls. The outer shoulder sipes and the outer middle sipes can each include a body portion in which the pair of sipe walls are disposed substantially parallel to each other. A width of a body portion of each outer shoulder sipe can be greater than a width of a body portion of each outer middle sipe.

The tire has a tread portion axially divided into two shoulder land regions, two middle land regions and one crown land region by two shoulder circumferential grooves and two crown circumferential grooves. The middle land regions are each provided with a single longitudinal sipe, and first and second middle transverse grooves extending from the adjacent shoulder circumferential groove and crown circumferential groove, and terminated without being connected to the longitudinal sipe. The shoulder land regions are each provided with shoulder transverse grooves extending from tread edges and terminated within the respective shoulder land regions.

A carcass layer of a pneumatic lire includes carcass cords of organic fiber cords obtained by intertw ining a filament bundle of organic fibers, and includes turn-up portions formed by turning back end portions of the carcass layer at bead portions toward an outer side in a width direction. The carcass cords have an elongation at break (EB) satisfying EB≥15%. An averagetotal gauge (GC)of a center land portion located within a width of 10% of a width of a second widest belt in a belt layer on right and left sides of an equatorial plane in the width direction, an average thickness(SG) of a sound absorptive member inside the pneumatic tire and located within a range identical to that of the center land portion, and the elongation at break (EB) of the carcass cords satisfy 15≤GC/(GC+SG/10)×EB (%)≤25.

A pneumatic tire includes at least one carcass layer between bead portions on an inner side in a radial direction of sidewall portions on both sides of a tread portion extending in a circumferential direction and having an annular shape, and the carcass layer includes carcass cords formed of organic fiber cords obtained by intertwining a filament bundle of organic fibers. The carcass layer includes turn-up portions formed by being turned back at an end portion of the bead portions to an outer side in a tire width direction. The carcass cords have an elongation at break EB satisfying EB≥15%, a cap tread rubber compound of the tread portion has a 300% modulus MD satisfying 4 MPa≤MD≤13 MPa, and the elongation at break EB and the 300% modulus MD satisfy 600≤40×MD+20×EB (%)≤1300.

A tire according to this disclosure includes a rib-like or block-like land portion in contact with a road surface. The land portion includes a plurality of sipes. The end portion of the sipe positioned on the earlier contact side in contact with the road surface earlier as the tire rotates terminates in the land portion. The end portion of the sipe positioned on the later contact side in contact with the road surface lately as the tire rotates opens to the side wall of the land portion.

A tire includes a tread portion 2. A middle land portion 7 of the tread portion 2 has a first middle lateral groove 11. The first middle lateral groove 11 includes a first groove portion 31, a second groove portion 32 inclined in the same direction as the first groove portion 31, and a third groove portion 33 located between the first groove portion 31 and the second groove portion 32 and inclined relative to a tire axial direction in a direction opposite to that of the first groove portion 31. The first groove portion 31 has a groove width increasing from the third groove portion 33 toward an outer side in the tire axial direction. The second groove portion 32 has a groove width increasing from the third groove portion 33 toward an inner side in the tire axial direction.
