A pneumatic tire is provided. A tread portion includes shallow grooves formed in a road contact surface of each of shoulder blocks, intermediate blocks, and center blocks, defined by a plurality of longitudinal grooves extending in a tire circumferential direction and a plurality of lateral grooves extending in a tire lateral direction, the shallow groove having a smaller groove depth than the longitudinal groove and the lateral groove. The shallow groove extends along the tire lateral direction, and at least one end thereof communicates with the longitudinal groove or the lateral groove. A contour line of the shallow groove is provided with at least one bend point. A sipe is provided in a flat bottom surface of the shallow groove extending along the shallow groove. Among the shallow grooves, center shallow grooves formed in the center block are each provided with a terminating end portion terminating in the center block.

The tread has a contact face that is provided with at least one circumferential groove and a transverse grooves opening to the contact face and delimiting contact elements. The tread has a center region and shoulder regions and is provided with at least one compressive contact element among the contact elements. A volumetric void ratio of the compressive contact element in a unit region surrounded by a center of the at least one circumferential groove and a center of the transverse grooves delimiting the compressive contact element is at least equal to 25%. An aspect ratio, which is defined as a ratio of a surface of the compressive contact element supposed to contact with ground divided by a sum of a surface area of the compressive contact element touching with air other than the surface of the compressive contact element supposed to contact with ground, is at most 70%.

A tyre for running on rough terrain has a tread portion including a plurality of blocks and tread crossing grooves extending between a first tread edge and a second tread edge without intersecting the blocks. Each of the tread crossing grooves includes a soil discharging space having a width of at least 10 mm or more and extending linearly so as to connect between the first tread edge and the second tread edge. The soil discharging space is inclined at an angle of 30 degrees or more and 50 degrees or less with respect to a tyre axial direction.

A tire includes a plurality of side blocks arrayed at a predetermined interval in a tire circumferential direction in a buttress portion. The side blocks include a short portion and a long portion arrayed in a Y shape and a slit that defines a connection portion of the short portion and the long portion and are disposed with a top portion of the Y shape facing toward an inner side in a tire radial direction. A radial height Hb of the side blocks is in the range 0.20≤Hb/SH≤0.50 with respect to a tire cross-sectional height SH.

A pneumatic tire includes a pair of circumferential main grooves, a plurality of center lug grooves, and center blocks. The pair of circumferential main grooves are disposed on both sides of a tire equatorial plane in a tire lateral direction. The tire equatorial plane is interposed between the pair of circumferential main grooves. The pair of circumferential main grooves extend in a tire circumferential direction and oscillate in the tire lateral direction. The plurality of center lug grooves have both ends connected to the pair of circumferential main grooves. The center blocks are defined by the center lug grooves and the pair of circumferential main grooves. The center lug grooves have bent portions at two or more positions. The center blocks include center narrow grooves having both ends connected to the pair of circumferential main grooves. The center narrow groove has bent portions at two or more positions.
