The first inclined portions and the second inclined portions are arranged alternately in the tire circumferential direction. The first inclined portions are longer than the second inclined portions. The groove bottom of the at least one main groove is provided with at least one protruding part extending in a width direction of the at least one main groove, and a distance between the at least one protruding part and one adjacent first intersection is equal to or less than 2 times groove widths of the first intersections.

A tire includes a tread portion 2. At least one middle lateral groove 10 includes first and second middle tie bars 16 and 17. First and second middle sipes 21 and 22 are provided on a ground-contact surface 15s of at least one middle block 15. The first middle sipe 21 includes a termination end 21a located on an inner side in a tire axial direction with respect to the first middle tie bar 16. The second middle sipe 22 includes a termination end 22a located on an outer side in the tire axial direction with respect to the second middle tie bar 17 and on the inner side in the tire axial direction with respect to the termination end 21a of the first middle sipe 21. On the ground-contact surface 15s of the middle block 15, no groove and no sipe are provided in a first region 23.

A pneumatic tire includes circumferential main grooves extending in the tire circumferential direction and a land portion defined by the circumferential main grooves. The land portion includes a through lug groove that passes through the land portion in the tire lateral direction and includes first and second chamfered portions formed on left and right edge portions of the through lug groove. The first chamfered portion opens at one end to one of the edge portions of the land portion and terminates at the other end at a central portion in the groove length direction of the through lug groove. The second chamfered portion opens at one end portion to one of the edge portions of the land portion and terminates at the other end portion at a central portion in the groove length direction of the through lug groove.

A first and a second tread pattern portions P1 and P2 on each side of a tire equator (Co) are line symmetry except being circumferentially misaligned, and are each provided with oblique lateral grooves 3, inner and outer joint grooves 4 and 5 connecting between the circumferentially adjacent oblique lateral grooves 3, inner terminating grooves 7 disposed between the inner and outer joint grooves 4 and 5, outer terminating grooves 8 disposed between the outer joint grooves and a ground contact edge (TE), and center joint grooves 6 alternately connecting the oblique lateral grooves of the first and second tread pattern portions. The inner and outer joint grooves 4 and 5 and the inner and outer terminating grooves 7 and 8 are inclined to different directions from the oblique lateral grooves 3. The outer terminating grooves 8 extend on extended lines of the outer joint grooves 5.

Disclosed is a pneumatic tire including: in a tread surface of a tread portion, a pair of main grooves (center main groove and shoulder main groove) arranged side by side in a tire lateral direction and extending in a tire circumferential direction; land portions (middle land portion) defined by the main grooves; a plurality of lug grooves arranged side by side in the tire circumferential direction and bent and folded back, each of the lug grooves including one end communicating with the shoulder main groove, the other end terminating within the middle land portion, and a bending point in a middle of a path from one end to the other end; and sipes extending across the lug grooves, at least one side of the sipe with respect to the lug groove being formed in a zigzag shape.

A tire comprises a tread portion provided with zigzag circumferential grooves and lateral grooves so that hexagonal blocks are formed between the zigzag circumferential grooves. Corners of the hexagonal blocks adjacent to each other through the lateral grooves are partially chamfered to have chamfered parts, with respect to each of the lateral grooves, the chamfered part of the corner of the hexagonal block abutting on the lateral groove on one side in the tire circumferential direction is located in a different position in the longitudinal direction of the lateral groove than the chamfered part of the corner of the hexagonal block abutting on the lateral groove on the other side in the tire circumferential direction.

A tire has a tread portion 2. The first middle land region 11 is provided with bend grooves 15 each having a first end 15a and a second end 15b. The first end 15a is connected to the first shoulder circumferential groove 5. The second end 15b is connected to one of the bend grooves 15 next in one of two opposite circumferential directions. Each bend groove 15 has two bent portions 16 and 17 at which the groove is bent. The bent angle θ1 at the first bent portion 16 is greater than the bent angle θ2 at the second bent portion 17.

In a tread portion of a pneumatic tire, a first sipe wall surface of a sipe includes at least two first peak portions and at least one first valley portion at each position of the sipe extension direction, which are bent in a wave-like shape to form surface recesses and protrusions along a sipe depth direction. The first valley portion is sandwiched between the two first peak portions in the sipe depth direction, and extends from one end of the sipe in the extension direction to the other end of the sipe in the extension direction. A recess depth of the first valley portion with respect to the two first peak portions gradually reduces. A position of at least one of the two first peak portions in the sipe depth direction and a position of the first valley portion in the sipe depth direction become gradually closer.
