A tire includes, in a tread portion, a pair of shoulder main grooves, a crown region between the shoulder main grooves, and shoulder regions disposed outside of the shoulder main grooves in a tire axial direction. Land ratios of the crown region and the shoulder regions are respectively 40%-60%. In the crown region, a plurality of middle blocks are arranged on both sides of a tire equator, and each middle block has a longitudinal shape in which a length in the tire circumferential direction is larger than a length in the tire axial direction.

Present invention provides a tread for a tire being provided with a plurality of grooves extending in an orientation having a non-zero angle A with circumferential orientation, at least two circumferentially adjacent grooves delimiting a contact element, the contact element having at least one incision extending in an orientation substantially parallel to the grooves, the contact element being delimited into sub-contact elements, on a plane perpendicular to the orientation in which the plurality of grooves being extending and to the contact face, each sub-contact elements having a length Ls between the plurality of grooves and the at least one incision or between two incisions, an outermost portion of each the sub-contact element having a radius Rs smaller than a radius Rt of an outline OL of the tread at an intersection between the outline OL and the outermost portion, the radius Rs of the outermost portion of the sub-contact elements is smaller than or equal to 16.0 mm and greater than or equal to 5.0 mm.

A pneumatic tire includes circumferential main grooves extending in the tire circumferential direction on the tread surface, and in widthwise outermost land portions, widthwise grooves extending from the tread edges inward in the tire width direction and widthwise sipes extending from the tire widthwise inner edge of the widthwise grooves inward in the tire width direction and connecting to the circumferential main groove. Each widthwise sipe includes a widened portion, by the sipe bottom, with a larger sipe width than at the tread surface. A rectangle ratio is 0.8 or more. Each widthwise sipe extends at a first angle relative to the tire width direction in plan view of the tread surface. In a tire radial region containing the widened portion, the widened portion extends at a second angle smaller than the first angle relative to the tire width direction, or partially extends along the tire width direction.

A pneumatic tire of the present disclosure includes two or more circumferential main grooves extending in a tire circumferential direction on a tread surface, and in a land portion defined by the two circumferential main grooves, a widthwise sipe extending in a tire width direction from each of the two circumferential main grooves, a circumferential sipe extending in the tire circumferential direction, and a hole connected to the circumferential sipe. The widthwise sipe is connected to the circumferential sipe or the hole, the widthwise sipe includes a first widened portion, on a sipe bottom side, at which a sipe width is larger than on the tread surface side, the circumferential sipe includes a second widened portion, on a sipe bottom side, at which a sipe width is larger than on the tread surface side, and the hole, the first widened portion, and the second widened portion are connected.

A pneumatic tire includes circumferential main grooves extending in the tire circumferential direction on the tread surface, and in widthwise outermost land portions, widthwise grooves extending from the tread edges inward in the tire width direction and widthwise sipes extending from the tire widthwise inner edge of the widthwise grooves inward in the tire width direction and connecting to the circumferential main groove. Each widthwise sipe includes a widened portion, by the sipe bottom, with a larger sipe width than at the tread surface. A rectangle ratio is less than 0.8. In a tire radial region containing the widened portion, the widened portion includes a portion extending at a first angle relative to the tire width direction. In plan view of the tread surface, each widthwise sipe extends along the tire width direction or at a second angle smaller than the first angle relative to the tire width direction.

A pneumatic tire is provided. A rib includes a lug groove that opens at a first end portion to one of the main grooves and terminates at a second end portion within the rib, a first sipe that opens at a first end portion to the one of the main grooves the lug groove opens to and opens at a second end portion to the lug groove, and a second sipe that opens at a first end portion to another main groove located on the opposite side of the one of the main grooves the lug groove opens to and opens at a second end portion to the lug groove; and the first sipe and the second sipe each include a chamfered portion on the edge on the leading side or the edge on the trailing side.

A tyre comprises a tread portion comprising a shoulder main groove and a shoulder land region. The shoulder land region includes an outer region, a middle region, and an inner region. The shoulder land region is provided with a plurality of shoulder sipes having components in a tyre axial direction. A sipe ratio of the middle region is smaller than the sipe ratio of the outer region and the sipe ratio of the inner region.

A tire comprises a tread portion axially divided into four land regions. The tire has a mounting direction to a vehicle and the land regions 4 include a widest outboard middle land region. The outboard middle land region is provided with first, second and third inclined grooves. The first inclined groove extends from a crown main groove and terminates within the outboard middle land region. The second inclined groove has its both ends terminated within the outboard middle land region. The third inclined groove intersects the first and second inclined grooves.

A pneumatic tire includes a block formed by a main groove extending in a tire circumferential direction and a lateral groove extending in a tire width direction. The block includes a first inclined surface provided at a corner portion between a first side surface and a top surface, the first inclined surface extending obliquely toward a groove bottom of the main groove or the lateral groove defined by the first side surface, and a first narrow groove extending from a center of the block toward the first side surface, an outer end of the first narrow groove being located on the first inclined surface, the first narrow groove being smaller in groove width than the main groove and the lateral groove.

A tread portion 2 can include an inner tread end, an outer tread end, circumferential grooves, and land portions. The circumferential grooves can include an inner shoulder circumferential groove and an outer shoulder circumferential groove. The land portions can include an inner shoulder land portion and an outer shoulder land portion. The inner shoulder land portion can include inner shoulder lateral grooves and inner shoulder sipes. The outer shoulder land portion can include outer shoulder lateral grooves and outer shoulder sipes. Each outer shoulder sipe can have a chamfered portion at each of sipe edges on both sides. The chamfered portion can have a chamfered width that increases from a terminating end side toward the outer shoulder circumferential groove.
