Pneumatic tire
Provided is a tire including, in a tread surface, a plurality of land portions partitioned by a circumferential main groove extending continuously in a tire circumferential direction, on at least one side in a tire width direction, and comprising, in an internal land portion located in a vehicle-installed inside half portion to a tire equatorial plane among the plurality of land portions, an internal resonator including a first auxiliary groove that terminates in the internal land portion, and a first branch groove that communicates between the first auxiliary groove and the circumferential main groove, and in the first branch groove, a hidden groove having an opening width in the tread surface that is smaller than a groove width of a groove bottom is provided adjacent to the first auxiliary groove.
TIRE
Center land portions of a tire each include a circumferential narrow groove extending in a tire circumferential direction, and a first lateral groove opening to one edge portion of each of the center land portions at one end and connecting to the circumferential narrow groove at the other end, and a second lateral groove opening to the other edge portion of the center land portion at one end and connecting to the circumferential narrow groove at the other end. Further, the circumferential narrow groove has a zigzag shape formed by repeatedly connecting a first long portion, a first short portion, a second long portion, and a second short portion. Furthermore, the first lateral groove connects to the first long portion of the circumferential narrow groove having the zigzag shape, and the second lateral groove connects to the second long portion of the circumferential narrow groove having the zigzag shape.
PNEUMATIC TIRE
Provided is a pneumatic tire including: a plurality of main grooves each having a zigzag shape and extending in a tire circumferential direction; and a land portion defined by the main grooves adjacent to each other and having a rib structure that is continuous with the tire circumferential direction. The land portion includes first and second lug grooves having a semi-closed structure. A maximum length L21 of the first lug groove in a tire width direction has the relationship 1.30≤L21/L22≤2.30 with respect to a maximum length L22 of the second lug groove.
PNEUMATIC TIRE
Provided is a pneumatic tire including a plurality of main grooves extending in a tire circumferential direction and land portions defined by the main grooves adjacent to each other, respectively. The land portions are ribs that are continuous in the tire circumferential direction, and include lug grooves having a semi-closed structure, respectively. Of the main grooves defining the land portions, at least one of the main grooves has a zigzag shape formed by alternately connecting long portions and short portions. Further, a circumferential length Lg2 of the long portion has a relationship 0.70≤Lg2/λ2≤0.90 with respect to a wavelength λ2 of the zigzag shape.

TIRE
A tire can include a tread, sidewalls, beads, and a carcass. Each bead can include a core and an apex. A ratio of a height of the apex to a cross-sectional height of the tire may be not less than 5% and not greater than 15%. In a meridian cross-section of the tire in a standard state, a contour of a side surface including a maximum width position can include two arcs tangent to each other at the maximum width position. The arc located inward of the maximum width position in a radial direction can be a first arc, and the arc located outward of the maximum width position in the radial direction can be a second arc. A ratio of a first radius of the first arc to a second radius of the second arc may be not less than 70% and not greater than 91%.

TIRE
A tire includes a tread portion including first and second tread edges, three or more circumferential grooves, and four or more land portions. The circumferential grooves include a first shoulder circumferential groove nearest to the first tread edge. Each land portion is provided with only sipes and is not provided with lateral grooves. The land portions include a first shoulder land portion having the first tread edge, and a first middle land portion adjacent to the first shoulder land portion. The first middle land portion is provided with first middle sipes traversing the first middle land portion completely in the tire axial direction. The first shoulder land portion is provided with first shoulder sipes extending from the first shoulder circumferential groove to the first tread edge. The first shoulder sipes have a circumferential pitch length smaller than a circumferential pitch length of the first middle sipes.
TIRE
