A tire is provided with multiple projection parts in a groove bottom of a groove portion. The projection parts extend from one side wall to the other side wall opposed to the one side wall, the side walls forming the groove portion. The projection parts are arranged at predetermined intervals in the groove portion. A relationship of 0.75L≦P≦10L is satisfied where L denotes a length of the projection parts and P denotes the predetermined intervals. In addition, a relationship of TWf/cos θf≦0.9W is satisfied where W denotes a groove width of the groove, TWf denotes a width of the projection parts, and θf denotes an angle formed by an extending direction of the projection parts and a groove center line in a direction opposite to a rotation direction of the tire in a tread face view of the tire.

The disclosed pneumatic tire includes a plurality of circumferential main grooves and is configured to be mounted in a specified vehicle mounting direction. On the tread surface, an inner shoulder land portion does not substantially include a groove, and has only one or more inner circumferential sipe extending in the tread circumferential direction and a plurality of inner widthwise sipes extending in the tread width direction, and an outer shoulder land portion has a plurality of widthwise grooves communicating with the circumferential main groove and the tread edge and extending in the tread width direction and an outer widthwise sipe located between the widthwise grooves adjacent in the tread circumferential direction and extending in the tread width direction.

The tire includes a tread portion 2 having at least one groove 3 that includes two groove walls 6. At least one of the groove walls 6 has a protrusion 10 that protrudes from the groove wall 6. The protrusion 10 includes at least two ribs 11 that extend in a length direction of the groove 3 and are spaced from each other in the tire radial direction, and a joining portion 12 for joining the ribs 11 to each other. Each rib 11 protrudes from the groove wall 6 so as to form such an inclination that the rib 11 is inclined outward from the groove wall 6 in a tire radial direction.

A tire comprises a tread portion whose position when mounted on a vehicle is specified. The tread portion includes an inner crown land region defined between a crown main groove and an inner shoulder main groove. The inner crown land region includes crown lateral grooves, first inner crown sipes, second inner crown sipes each extending from the inner shoulder main groove toward the crown main groove and having an inner end terminating within the inner crown land region, and third inner crown sipes each extending from the crown main groove toward the inner shoulder main groove and having an outer end terminating within the inner crown land region. The crown lateral grooves each have a length in a tire axial direction larger than that of each of the second inner crown sipes.

A rib-like land section partitioned by main grooves, a plurality of sub-grooves provided in the rib-like land section at intervals in the tire circumferential direction and a groove hole provided between the sub-grooves adjacent to each other and extending in the tire circumferential direction are provided in a tread section. The sub-groove includes a lateral groove portion, in which one end opens to the main groove and the other end terminates inside the rib-like land section, and a longitudinal groove portion extending from the other end of the lateral groove portion to one side in the tire circumferential direction and terminating inside the rib-like land section. The groove hole is formed so that a groove depth at one end part close to a terminal end of the longitudinal groove portion becomes shallower than a groove depth at the other end part far from the terminal end.

A pneumatic tire includes two circumferential main grooves disposed in an inner half of a tread developed width in a tire lateral direction; shoulder lug grooves that divide shoulder land portions into shoulder block portions and that each include a see-through portion in the tire lateral direction; and center lug grooves that divide a center land portion into a plurality of center block portions. The center lug grooves each include: two end groove portions opening to the innermost circumferential main grooves and one center groove portion that extends between the end groove portions, has at least a part disposed on a tire equator line, and has an angle θ.sub.1 with respect to the tire equator line satisfying −45°≤θ.sub.1≤+15°.

A tire includes a tread portion provided with lateral grooves extending in a tire axial direction and blocks divided by the lateral grooves. At least one of the lateral grooves is provided with a first projected portion with a bottom protruding from a groove bottom of the at least one of the lateral grooves. The first projected portion includes at least one tie-bar portion connecting a pair of blocks with each other which is arranged adjacently through the at least one of the lateral groove, and a narrow rib-portion extending in a longitudinal direction of the at least one of the lateral groove from the at least one tie-bar portion without being connected to the pair of blocks.

A tire for an agricultural vehicle with a metal crown reinforcement, with improved endurance of the crown reinforcement thereof through the choice of a suitable tread. For each tread portion (21), positioned axially, with respect to the equatorial plane (E) of the tire (1), at an axial distance DE at most equal to 0.36*L, and having an axial width LE equal to 0.08*L, the product TEVL*(H/B) of the local volumetric void ratio of the tread portion (21) and the circumferential slenderness H/B of each tread pattern element (22) of said tread portion (21) is at most equal to 0.35.

A pneumatic tire includes a plurality of main grooves formed in a tread and extending along a tire circumferential direction, wherein the plurality of main grooves include a shoulder main groove located on an outermost side in a width direction, the shoulder main groove includes a raised portion formed by raising a first side, in the tire width direction, of a groove bottom of the shoulder main groove more than a second side of the groove bottom, and the raised portion is lower than an outer surface of the tread and continuously extends over an entire circumference in the tire circumferential direction.

A tire having a tread portion provided with a circumferential groove. Of the opposite groove side walls of the circumferential groove, at least one groove side wall to be positioned on the inside of a vehicle is provided with a lower side wall portion extending from a groove bottom, and a protruding portion extending from the lower side wall portion to have a radially outer edge. The protruding portion protrudes toward the groove widthwise center from a reference line X defined by a radially outwardly extended line from the lower side wall portion. The protruding portion comprises a sloped portion extending obliquely from the radially outer edge to the tread surface.
