Tyre

A tyre comprises a tread portion having a main groove extending continuously in a tyre circumferential direction and a pair of land regions adjacent to the main groove on both sides thereof. At least one of the pair of the land regions has, on an edge thereof facing the main groove, a plurality of main groove side step-like portions each having a height decreasing stepwise in two or more steps from a ground contacting surface of the at least one of the pair of the land regions to a bottom surface of the main groove. The main groove side step-like portions include at least a first main groove side step-like portion and a second main groove side step-like portion having different numbers of the steps from each other.

A pneumatic tire includes blocks (36 and 41) formed by main grooves (10 and 15) extending in a circumferential direction of the tire and lateral grooves (20 and 25) extending in a tire width direction, and notches (50, 60, and 70) in stepped side end portions of the blocks (36 and 41). The lateral grooves (20 and 25) extend obliquely such that a tire grounding end (E) side is grounded later. Portions adjacent to the notches (50, 60, and 70) on the tire grounding end (E) side of the notches (50, 60, and 70) are protrusions (51, 61, and 71) protruding while forming an acute angle toward a tire equator (C) side.

Tyre

A tyre includes a tread portion provided with circumferentially extending main grooves and land portions. The main grooves include an outboard crown main groove, and an inboard crown main groove. The land portions include a crown land portion defined between the outboard crown main groove and the inboard crown main groove. The crown land portion is provided with first crown sipes having first ends connected to the outboard crown main groove and second ends terminating within the crown land portion, and second crown sipes having first ends connected to the inboard crown main groove and second ends terminating within the crown land portion, wherein the first crown sipes are inclined with respect to a tyre axial direction in a same direction as the second crown sipes, and the first crown sipes and the second crown sipes are different in angle with respect to the tyre axial direction.

A tire 1 comprises a tread portion 2 provided with a plurality of blocks 5 arranged therein. The blocks 5 include at least one first block 20 comprising a first part 6 arranged on one side in a tire circumferential direction and a second part 7 arranged on the other side in the tire circumferential direction. The first part 6 extends in the tire circumferential direction with a substantially constant width (Wa) in a tire axial direction. The second part 7 has a width (Wb) in the tire axial direction larger than that of the first part 6 so that the second part 7 protrudes axially outwardly from the first part 6 so as to protrude more toward one side in the tire axial direction.
