TIRE
A tire includes a first circumferential main groove 11 and a second circumferential main groove 12 in a tread surface 1. A resonator 21 is formed in an intermediate land portion 20 partitioned between the first circumferential main groove and the second circumferential main groove. The resonator has an auxiliary groove 211 whose both ends terminate within the intermediate land portion. The groove depths D1 of the first and second circumferential main grooves are 50% or less of the groove widths W2 of the first and second circumferential main grooves, respectively. The groove width W3 of the auxiliary groove of the resonator is 80% or less of the groove depth D1 of the first circumferential main groove.
Run-flat tire
A run-flat tire includes a belt reinforcing layer outward of a belt layer in a tire radial direction and reinforcing rubber in sidewall portions. Where a center region is a region of a tread portion in which a center land portion corresponding to a land portion included in land portions in a tread portion and located closest to a tire equatorial plane is positioned, the belt reinforcing layer includes a center reinforcing portion in which more pieces of the belt reinforcing layer are layered at a position of the center region than at positions other than the position of the center region, and in the belt reinforcing layer, a width Wc of the center reinforcing portion in a tire lateral direction with respect to a thickness Gr of the side reinforcing rubber at a tire maximum width position is within a range of 0.5 Gr≤Wc≤2.0 Gr.

Tyre for running on rough terrain
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.
Pneumatic tire
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.

Pneumatic tire
Steering stability performance on dry road surfaces and steering stability performance on wet road surfaces are improved. A land portion width Wcc of a center land portion (31) and a land portion width Wco of an outer side middle land portion (32) satisfy a relationship of Wcc<Wco. In addition, a ground contact surface (10) of each of the outer side middle land portion (32) and an outer side shoulder land portion (34) is formed to protrude toward an outer side in a tire radial direction with respect to a reference profile PRco, PRso, and a protruding amount Hco of the outer side middle land portion (32) and a protruding amount Hso of the outer side shoulder land portion (34) satisfy a relationship of Hco<Hso.

Tire comprising a tread having grooves with undercut side faces and reinforcing elements
A tire has a tread 5 which includes grooves 7, the side faces 72 of which are undercut, and includes at least one circumferential reinforcing element 8-1 arranged axially relative to said undercut side face 72 at a distance “d” of between 0 and 15% of the axial width L51 of the tread block 51, at least extending radially from the inside towards the outside from a radial level situated above the wear limit level and to a radial height equal to 5% of the thickness “p” of the tread.
