The chamfer portion comprises a first sloped surface and a second sloped surface respectively connected to the first sipe wall and the second sipe wall. In a top view of the first land portion, the width W1 of the first sloped surface is larger than the width W2 of the second sloped surface.

A tire includes a plurality of circumferential main grooves extending in a tire circumferential direction, and a pair of shoulder land portions and one or more rows of center land portions defined by the plurality of circumferential main grooves. Further, at least one of the pair of shoulder land portions includes a plurality of shoulder lug grooves and a plurality of shoulder blocks defined and formed by the plurality of shoulder lug grooves. Additionally, at least a part of the plurality of shoulder blocks includes a notch portion that connects edge portions separated from a tire ground contact edge and a buttress portion. Additionally, the notch portion has a step-shaped wall surface in a cross-sectional view in a tire meridian direction.

A pneumatic tire has inner mediate land portions and center land portion(s) that are divided into a plurality of blocks by lateral grooves. Each of the lateral grooves includes a pair of wide portions opening to a main groove and a narrow portion coupling the pair of the wide portions. one-side-closed sipes are formed in a bottom of each of the lateral grooves formed in the inner mediate land portions. The one-side-closed sipes are open at the wide portions and close at the narrow portion. a both-sides-open sipe is formed in a bottom of each of the lateral grooves formed in the center land portion or portions. The both-sides-open sipe is open at the wide portions and at the narrow portion.

A tire 1 comprises a tread portion 2 provided with an outer shoulder main groove 3 in a part closest to an outside tread edge (To) and an outer crown main groove 4 on a side of an inside tread edge (Ti) of the outer shoulder main groove 3 both extending continuously in the tire circumferential direction, and outer transverse grooves 9 connecting between the outside tread edge (To) and the outer crown main groove 4 so that an outer shoulder land region 7A is defined between the outside tread edge (To) and the outer shoulder main groove 3 and an outer middle land region 7B is defined between the outer shoulder main groove 3 and the outer crown main groove 4. A maximum axial width Ws of the outer shoulder land region 7A is larger than a maximum axial width Wm of the outer middle land region 7B.

A pneumatic tire includes blocks arranged in the tread center region that is X % (30≦X≦70) of the tread contact width TW with the tire equator C as center are formed elongated in the tire circumferential direction so that the block ratio is not less than 1.5. At least one end in the longitudinal direction of the sipes provided in the blocks connects to a longitudinal groove. A protrusion and a recess that can engage with each other are provided on the sipe wall surfaces that face each other constituting the sipes, at the end portion in the longitudinal direction of the sipes that connect with the longitudinal groove.

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 depth D3 of the auxiliary groove of the resonator is 70% or more of the groove depth D1 of the first circumferential main groove.

In a pneumatic tire, center blocks in a center region of a tread portion form a pair sandwiching an inclined groove that extends inclined with respect to a circumferential direction. Each of the center blocks extends across an equator and includes a notch formed of first and second walls that are connected in a V-shape in a tread road contact surface. The first wall extends within +/−20° with respect to the circumferential direction, and the second wall extends within +/−10° with respect to a lateral direction. Each of shoulder blocks provided in a center region of the tread portion includes a third wall opposed to the notch and at an angle within +/−5° with respect to a straight line connecting an end point of the first wall, located adjacent to the shoulder block and an end point of the second wall, located adjacent to the shoulder block.

A tire includes a tread having main grooves linearly continuously extending in tire circumferential direction, and a first land portion formed between the main grooves. The first land portion has first transverse grooves such that each first transverse groove is extending inclined in first direction with respect to tire axial direction and completely across the first land portion, and first blocks formed between the first transverse grooves such that one or more first blocks have a first slot extending from first side surface of the first block on one side in the tire axial direction, a second slot extending from second side surface of the first block on the opposite side in the tire axial direction, a first sipe extending from the first slot and terminating within the first block, and a second sipe extending from the second slot and terminating within the first block without intersecting the first sipe.

The present invention relates to a tire with main kerfs and sub-kerfs, and more particularly, to a tire with main kerfs and sub-kerfs, which maintains drainage performance and running and braking performance by additionally including an auxiliary groove and improves a flow of air and drainage performance by including an auxiliary flow tube.
