Each inner middle lug groove extends from the crown main groove to its axially outer end while decreasing its groove width. The inner middle lug grooves are arranged with substantially the same pitches.

Provided is a pneumatic tire. A profile line (PL1) of a center land portion (X) protrudes further outward in the tire radial direction than a standard profile line (PL0). Profile lines (PL2, PL3) of sub-center land portions (Y1, Y2) and shoulder land portions (Z1, Z2) defined outward of center main grooves (14a, 14b) in the tire width direction protrude outward in the tire radial direction further than the standard profile line (PL0). The shoulder land portions (Z1, Z2) are defined further outward than the sub-center land portions (Y1, Y2). Further, the profile lines (PL2, PL3) of the sub-center land portions (Y1, Y2) and the shoulder land portions (Z1, Z2) each include an outermost point (A2, A4) of the corresponding center main groove (14a, 14b) in the tire width direction and both end points (A5, A6, A7, A8) of the corresponding shoulder main groove (14c, 14d) in the tire width direction.

A pneumatic tire includes first and second main grooves, and first sipes and auxiliary grooves on second land portions between the first and second main grooves, the auxiliary grooves opening to the second main grooves and terminating in the second land portions. The auxiliary grooves bend at a bend point and include a first portion extending from an opening end to the bend point, and a second portion extending from the bend point to a terminating end. A groove width of the first portion gradually reduces from the opening end to the bend point. Second sipes have an end that opens to each of the second main grooves and another end that opens to each of the terminating ends. Third sipes have an end that opens to the first main grooves and another end that opens to the first portions. The sipes are parallel to each other.

A tire is a tire in which circumferential grooves, and lug grooves comprising opening portion in tread end and which extend in the tread width direction from the tread end to the circumferential groove, are formed. Projection parts are provided in the groove bottom of the circumferential grooves. The projection parts extend from one side wall forming a circumferential groove to the other side wall opposite the one side wall. Multiple lug grooves are formed at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction. In the tread surface view of the tire, given points of intersection as the points at which a circumferential groove extension that passes through a circumferential groove intersects with a lug groove extension that passes through a lug groove, the projection parts are provided between a first point of intersection and a second point of intersection adjacent to the first point of intersection in the circumferential direction.

A pneumatic tire includes a tread portion provided with circumferentially extending main grooves and lateral grooves. The main grooves include an inboard shoulder main groove, an outboard shoulder main groove, an inboard center main groove and an outboard center main groove. The lateral grooves includes a plurality of first outboard shoulder lateral grooves each having an axially inner end positioned between the outboard shoulder main groove and the outboard center main groove, and a plurality of first inboard shoulder lateral grooves each having an axially inner end positioned between the inboard shoulder main groove and the inboard center main groove, wherein the number of the first inboard shoulder lateral grooves is greater than the number of the first outboard shoulder lateral grooves.

A pneumatic tire is equipped with: a first circumferential groove and a second circumferential groove which are formed on a tread surface of a tread portion and extend along a tire circumferential direction while being arranged side by side in a tire width direction interposing an equatorial plane of the tire therebetween; a plurality of first auxiliary grooves which are arranged in the tire circumferential direction, disposed intersecting the tire circumferential direction, and communicate with the second circumferential groove by passing through the first circumferential groove, and a plurality of second auxiliary grooves which are arranged in the tire circumferential direction, disposed intersecting the tire circumferential direction so as to incline in the tire width direction, communicate with the second circumferential groove, and bend continuously with respect to the first auxiliary groove bounded at the second circumferential groove.

A pneumatic tire comprising a tread portion provided with a middle land portion 6 which is arranged between a central main groove 3 and a shoulder main groove 4. The middle land portion 6 is provided with an inner middle lateral groove 8 and an outer middle lateral groove 9. The inner middle lateral groove 8 comprises a first inclined portion 10 that extends axially outwardly from the central main groove 3 at an angle θ1 of from 10 to 40 degrees with respect to a circumferential direction of the tire, and a second inclined portion 12 that is inclined at an opposite direction to the first inclined portion 10 so as to extend axially inwardly, and a bent portion 11 connecting the first inclined portion 10 and the second inclined portion 12. The outer middle lateral groove 9 is communicated with the second inclined portion 12 of the axially inner middle lateral groove 8 without including an axially outermost groove edge 8e of the inner middle lateral groove 8, and is communicated with the shoulder main groove 4. The axially outer middle lateral groove 9 is inclined in the same direction of the first inclined portion 10 of the inner middle lateral groove 8 at an angle θ3 of from 30 to 70 degrees with respect to the circumferential direction of the tire.

A tire includes a circumferential direction main groove on a tread surface, first and second circumferential supplemental grooves located on both sides of the circumferential direction main groove, and first and second central land portions formed between the circumferential direction main groove and the first and second circumferential direction supplemental grooves. The first and second central land portions have plural width direction sipes, respectively, and each of the width direction sipes extends to the circumferential main groove, the circumferential main groove has shallow grooved portions and deep grooved portions. The deep grooved portions are deeper than the shallow grooved portions, and the shallow grooved portions are shallower than the circumferential supplemental grooves.

A pneumatic tire having a specified rotational direction and including land portions formed compartmentally on the tread of the pneumatic tire by disposing plural inclined grooves extending from both tread ends respectively toward the tire equator and inclined toward the rotational direction with respect to a tire width direction, and also including branch grooves on the tread, each of the branch grooves diverging from a portion of the inclined groove within an area till ¼ of the tread width from the tread, extending to the tire equator in the opposite tire circumferential direction of the inclined groove with respect to the tire width direction and terminating within the land portions.

A pneumatic tire is provided in the tread portion with a central land portion between two crown main grooves. The central land portion is provided with notches each having a depth of 55% to 65% of the depth of the crown main groove and having a closed end and an open end opening to the crown main groove. The maximum axial length of the central notch is 10% to 15% of the maximum axial length of the central land portion, and the circumferential length of the opening is 10% to 15% of one circumferential pitch of the shoulder block row 7R. The circumferential length of the opening is 15% to 25% of one circumferential pitch of the central notches.
