To provide a pneumatic tire capable of improving rut performance. A pneumatic tire according to an embodiment is a tire having a specified rotation direction. A shoulder region of a tread portion is provided with a shoulder block and a raised portion is provided in an outer extension portion of the shoulder block in a tire width direction in relation to a tire ground contact end. The raised portion includes a corner portion which protrudes from an edge portion of the shoulder block on a front side in the rotation direction toward the front side in the rotation direction.

A pneumatic tire is provided with four or more circumferential main grooves extending in a tire circumferential direction and five or more land portions defined by the circumferential main grooves. Additionally, second land portions are each provided with first through lug grooves and second through lug grooves that extend through the second land portion in a tire lateral direction and are adjacently arranged in the tire circumferential direction. Crossing angles of the first through lug grooves and the second through lug grooves with respect to the outermost circumferential main grooves are mutually different.

A pneumatic tire includes a circumferential main groove extending in a tire circumferential direction and a land portion defined by the circumferential main groove. The circumferential main groove includes a groove opening portion and a groove bottom portion each having a zigzag shape or a wave-like shape with an amplitude in a tire width direction. An outer maximum amplitude position of an outer edge portion in the groove opening portion is disposed to be offset in a tire circumferential direction with respect to an outer maximum amplitude position of an outer edge portion of the corresponding groove bottom portion.

A pneumatic tire includes a tread portion provided with at least one circumferentially extending main groove, and at least one lateral groove extending from the main groove. The at least one lateral groove comprises a bottom, and at least one stepwise groove wall that includes at least one level part, wherein the number of level part is not more than three. In a cross-sectional view of the lateral groove, a depth Da from a ground contacting surface of the tread portion to a radially innermost level part is in a range of from 50% to 80% a maximum groove depth D4 of the lateral groove, and a width Wa from the radially innermost level part to a groove edge of the stepwise groove wall measured along in a groove width direction is in a range of from 50% to 150% the depth Da.

A pneumatic tire with improved heat build-up resistance in a land portion in a tread center region. The pneumatic tire is provided with a tread pattern that includes a plurality of center lug grooves (14) disposed at intervals in a tire circumferential direction that cross a tire equator line; a plurality of shoulder lug grooves (12A, 12B) disposed in intervals between the plurality of center lug grooves in the tire circumferential direction extending outward in the tire width direction, an inner end in the tire width direction being disposed outward of an end of the center lug groove in the tire width direction; a pair of circumferential primary grooves (11A, 11B) extending around an entire circumference of the pneumatic tire in a wave-like shape with the ends of the center lug grooves and the inner ends of the plurality of shoulder lug grooves in the tire width direction alternately connecting to the pair of circumferential primary grooves (11A, 11B); and a circumferential secondary groove (10) disposed on the tire equator line around the entire circumference of the pneumatic tire that intersects the center lug grooves.

A straight line that joins an intersection portion between the center lug groove and the circumferential secondary groove and the end of the center lug groove has an inclination angle with respect to the tire circumferential direction ranging from 55° to 75°.

A tire comprises a tread portion for which an intended tire rotational direction is specified. The tread portion comprises rows composed of blocks circumferentially divided by lateral grooves. Each block has a ground contacting top surface, and a first side wall surface and a second side wall surface located on a heel-side and a toe-side, respectively, in the intended tire rotational direction. In a cross section of each block which is parallel with the tire circumferential direction, the first and second block-side wall surfaces are both inclined, and the angle θ2 of the second side wall surface is larger than the angle θ1 of the first side wall surface with respect to the tire radial direction. The difference θ2−θ1 between the angles θ2 and θ1 increases toward one side in the tire axial direction.

A tire includes a reinforcing rib formed on a groove to prevent irregular wear of a tread and including an auxiliary hidden groove formed in the groove to enhance capabilities of water absorption and drainage of the tire even when the reinforcing rib is formed on the groove. The tire can include a reinforcing rib coupled to a first sidewall, which is one of both sidewalls forming the groove, and protruding toward the groove from the first sidewall, a hidden groove formed in one portion of a second sidewall which is the other of the sidewalls forming the groove, and a remaining tread part protruding toward the groove from a side surface of the hidden groove, the remaining tread part being the other portion of the second sidewall.

A tire comprises a tread portion having at least one main groove extending in a zigzag manner in a tire circumferential direction. The main groove includes first inclined portions and second inclined portions arranged alternately in the tire circumferential direction. The first inclined portions are inclined in a first direction and the second inclined portions are inclined in a second direction opposite to the first direction with respect to the tire circumferential direction. A length of each of the first inclined portions is larger than a length of each of the second inclined portions. The main groove is provided in a groove bottom thereof with projecting portions extending in a groove width direction of the main groove. The projecting portions includes first projecting portions arranged in the first inclined portions.

A pneumatic tire comprising a tread portion provided with a middle land portion 6 which is arranged between a central main groove 3 and a shoulder main groove 4. The middle land portion 6 is provided with an inner middle lateral groove 8 and an outer middle lateral groove 9. The inner middle lateral groove 8 comprises a first inclined portion 10 that extends axially outwardly from the central main groove 3 at an angle θ1 of from 10 to 40 degrees with respect to a circumferential direction of the tire, and a second inclined portion 12 that is inclined at an opposite direction to the first inclined portion 10 so as to extend axially inwardly, and a bent portion 11 connecting the first inclined portion 10 and the second inclined portion 12. The outer middle lateral groove 9 is communicated with the second inclined portion 12 of the axially inner middle lateral groove 8 without including an axially outermost groove edge 8e of the inner middle lateral groove 8, and is communicated with the shoulder main groove 4. The axially outer middle lateral groove 9 is inclined in the same direction of the first inclined portion 10 of the inner middle lateral groove 8 at an angle θ3 of from 30 to 70 degrees with respect to the circumferential direction of the tire.

A tire includes a circumferential direction main groove on a tread surface, first and second circumferential supplemental grooves located on both sides of the circumferential direction main groove, and first and second central land portions formed between the circumferential direction main groove and the first and second circumferential direction supplemental grooves. The first and second central land portions have plural width direction sipes, respectively, and each of the width direction sipes extends to the circumferential main groove, the circumferential main groove has shallow grooved portions and deep grooved portions. The deep grooved portions are deeper than the shallow grooved portions, and the shallow grooved portions are shallower than the circumferential supplemental grooves.
