In a pneumatic tire having a point-symmetric structure block pattern, narrow and wide outer blocks having different outer end positions in the lateral direction are alternately arranged in the circumferential direction. Among side blocks provided in a side region, large and small blocks are disposed respectively on the outer sides of the narrow and wide outer blocks in the lateral direction. The lateral and side grooves are continuous such that the groove width of the side groove connected to the wide portion of the lateral groove where the outer block converges toward the inner side in the radial direction, and the groove width of the side portion connected to the narrow portion of the lateral groove where the outer block widens toward the inner side in the radial direction, and the side block is tapered with an inner portion block width in the radial direction converges toward the wide portion.

A two-wheeled vehicle tyre includes a tread portion which is provided with a row of crown blocks arranged on a tyre equator and a row of middle blocks arranged axially outwardly of the row of crown blocks. Circumferential pitch lengths of directly adjacent crown blocks are greater than circumferential pitch lengths of directly adjacent middle blocks.

A tire includes a tread portion being provided with a first circumferential groove extending continuously in the tire circumferential direction, and a first land portion adjacent to the first circumferential groove. The first land portion includes a ground contact surface, a land sidewall on a first circumferential groove side, and a recess that opens across both the ground contact surface and the land sidewall. The recess has an opening defined by a V-shaped first edge and a V-shaped second edge respectively extending on the ground contact surface and the land sidewall. The recess has a circumferential maximum length L1 of from 6.0 to 9.0 mm. The recess has a maximum depth d1 of from 15% to 40% of a maximum depth of the first circumferential groove. The recess has an axial maximum length L2 of from 3.0 to 5.0 times the depth d1.

A tire includes a tread portion including a first tread edge, a first shoulder circumferential groove, and a first shoulder land portion demarcated by the first shoulder circumferential groove to include the first tread edge. The first shoulder land portion is provided with first shoulder lateral grooves extending from the first shoulder circumferential groove to the first tread edge. One of the first shoulder lateral grooves includes first and second groove walls which face each other, and a tie-bar. The tie-bar includes an outer surface extending along a ground contact surface of the first shoulder land portion, the outer surface being connected to the first and second groove walls. The outer surface includes a first edge connected to the first groove wall, and a second edge connected to the second groove wall, the second edge having a length smaller than a length of the first edge.

A tire includes a tread portion including a first shoulder land portion provided with first shoulder lateral grooves extending from a first tread edge to a first shoulder circumferential groove, a second shoulder land portion provided with second shoulder lateral grooves extending from a second tread edge and terminating within the second shoulder land portion, a first middle land portion provided with first middle lateral grooves extending from the first shoulder circumferential groove and terminating within the first middle land portion, a second middle land portion provided with outer and inner second middle lateral grooves respectively extending from the second crown circumferential groove and the second shoulder circumferential groove and terminating within the second middle land portion, and a crown land portion provided with crown lateral grooves extending from the first crown circumferential groove and terminating within the crown land portion.

A tire includes a tread formed with: circumferential grooves extending continuously in a tire circumferential direction; lateral grooves connecting the circumferential grooves in a tire axial direction; and blocks divided by the circumferential grooves and the lateral grooves. In the lateral groove, a groove bottom is raised to form a tie bar connecting the blocks in the tire circumferential direction. The tie bar is formed with a groove portion penetrating the tie bar in the tire axial direction. In a state where the tire is assembled to a regular rim, filled with a regular internal pressure, loaded with a regular load, and contacting a flat surface at a camber angle 0°, a side wall formed on the tie bar by the groove portion on one side in the tire circumferential direction does not contact a side wall on the other side in the tire circumferential direction.

In a pneumatic tire, a groove depth H1 of each of first and second inclined lug grooves over an entire region from an opening portion to a corresponding one of first or second circumferential main grooves to a terminating end portion within a center land portion has a relationship with a maximum groove depth Hg of the corresponding one of the first or second circumferential main grooves represented by 0.80≤H1/Hg≤1.00. Additionally, a maximum groove depth H2 of each of first and second lateral grooves has a relationship with a groove depth H1e at a terminating end portion of the corresponding one of the first and second inclined lug grooves represented by 0.70≤H2/H1e≤0.90.

A tire includes a tread portion including a circumferential groove and a land portion defined by the circumferential groove, the land portion including a land sidewall facing the circumferential groove. The land sidewall includes a first surface, a second surface located on a groove centerline side of the circumferential groove with respect to the first surface, and a stair portion formed between the first surface and the second surface. The stair portion varies its radial height stepwise in two or more steps in a longitudinal direction of the circumferential groove.

A tire comprises a tread portion comprising a first tread edge, a shoulder circumferential groove and a shoulder land portion. The shoulder land portion is provided with shoulder lateral grooves so as to be divided into shoulder blocks. Each of the shoulder blocks is provided with at least one shoulder sipe. At least one of the shoulder lateral grooves is provided with at least one tie bar raising from the groove bottom to connect between the adjacent shoulder blocks.

A tyre tread (10) has a groove (12) having a snow trapping device in the form of a dam (14) in it. The dam (14) is attached to a bottom wall (16) of the groove (12), and to side walls (18, 20) of the groove (12). The dam (14) has a first, snow trapping surface (22) and a second, inclined surface (24) which face in opposite sides in the groove longitudinal direction. The second, inclined surface (24) directs the flow of water away from the bottom wall (16). A hole (32) and a sipe (34) form a passageway (30) for water through the dam (14) in the groove longitudinal direction. The passageway reduces water flow recirculation. The whole of the dam (14) is between the side walls (18, 20) of the groove (12).
