Tyre
It is a tyre 1 provided in a tread portion 2 with blocks 3 having ground contacting surfaces (3a). At least one of the blocks 3 is provided with a chamfered portion 7 formed in such a manner that a corner portion (3k), where a vertical wall surface (3b), a lateral wall surface (3c), and the ground contacting surface (3a) intersect with each other, is cut out obliquely, and a chamfer edge 8 where the chamfered portion 7 and the ground contacting surface (3a) intersect. The chamfered portion 7 is provided with a plurality of first concave portions 9 extending inwardly in a tyre radial direction from the ground contacting surface (3a). The first concave portions 9 have wavy shapes having amplitudes in a longitudinal direction of the chamfer edge 8.
Tire
A tire has a tread portion comprising: a crown land zone provided with a crown auxiliary groove and crown lateral grooves; and a shoulder land zone provided with a shoulder auxiliary groove and shoulder lateral grooves. The axial width of the shoulder land zone is larger than the axial width of the crown land zone. The groove widths of the crown auxiliary groove and the shoulder auxiliary groove are smaller than that of a shoulder main groove. The lateral crown groove comprises a radially outer wide portion and a radially inner narrow sipe-like portion.
Pneumatic Tire
A pneumatic tire includes circumferential grooves aligned in a lateral direction and extending in a circumferential direction, lateral grooves aligned in the circumferential direction and extending to cross the circumferential direction, communicating at ends with the circumferential grooves and defining a block-shaped land portion between the circumferential grooves, two narrow grooves aligned in the lateral direction and extending in the circumferential direction, communicating at ends with a lateral groove and dividing the land portion defined by each of the circumferential grooves and each of the lateral grooves into small land portions, the narrow grooves having a smaller groove width than the circumferential grooves and being formed with a bent portion in an intermediate portion, the bent portion being disposed inward in the lateral direction, and bend points of the bent portions being disposed at positions offset from one another in the circumferential direction.
Pneumatic tire
A pneumatic tire includes two circumferential main grooves disposed in an inner half of a tread developed width in a tire lateral direction; shoulder lug grooves that divide shoulder land portions into shoulder block portions and that each include a see-through portion in the tire lateral direction; center lug grooves dividing a center land portion into a plurality of center block portions; and center sipes having both ends terminated in the center block portions. The center sipe includes at least two sipe portions having different angles via at least one bent portion. An angle θ.sub.1 of at least one sipe portion with respect to a tire equator line satisfies 0°≤θ.sub.1≤15°, and an angle θ.sub.2 of at least the other sipe portion with respect to the tire equator line satisfies 35°≤θ.sub.2≤60°.
Pneumatic tyre
A tyre includes a tread portion having an outer shoulder main groove, a crown main groove, and an outer middle land region defined between the outer shoulder main groove and the crown main groove. The outer middle land region is provided with first middle sipes each extending inwardly in a tyre axial direction from the outer shoulder main groove to have an inner end in the outer middle land region and second middle sipes each extending outwardly in the tyre axial direction from the crown main groove to have an outer end in the outer middle land region. The number of the second middle sipes is larger than the number of the first middle sipes.
Pneumatic Tire
A pneumatic tire includes two circumferential main grooves disposed in an inner half of a tread developed width in a tire lateral direction; shoulder lug grooves that divide shoulder land portions into shoulder block portions and that each include a see-through portion in the tire lateral direction; center lug grooves dividing a center land portion into a plurality of center block portions; and center sipes having both ends terminated in the center block portions. The center sipe includes at least two sipe portions having different angles via at least one bent portion. An angle θ.sub.1 of at least one sipe portion with respect to a tire equator line satisfies 0°≤θ.sub.1≤15°, and an angle θ.sub.2 of at least the other sipe portion with respect to the tire equator line satisfies 35°≤θ.sub.2≤60°.
Tyre
A tyre comprises a tread portion having a main groove extending continuously in a tyre circumferential direction and a pair of land regions adjacent to the main groove on both sides thereof. At least one of the pair of the land regions has, on an edge thereof facing the main groove, a plurality of main groove side step-like portions each having a height decreasing stepwise in two or more steps from a ground contacting surface of the at least one of the pair of the land regions to a bottom surface of the main groove. The main groove side step-like portions include at least a first main groove side step-like portion and a second main groove side step-like portion having different numbers of the steps from each other.
Tire
A tire comprises a tread portion 2. The tread portion 2 has a repeated pattern portion 7 in which a plurality of minimum pattern constituent units 8 is arranged in a tire circumferential direction. Each of the minimum pattern constituent units 8 includes a center block 10, a plurality of surrounding blocks 11 surrounding the center block 10, and dividing grooves 15 each arranged between adjacent ones of the plurality of the surrounding blocks 11. The dividing grooves 15 include first dividing grooves 16 and second dividing grooves 17 inclined in opposite directions to each other.
Tire
A tyre has a tread portion. The tread portion includes a land region defined between a first edge extending in a tyre circumferential direction and a second edge extending in the tyre circumferential direction. The land region is provided with a first lateral groove extending from the first edge toward the second edge and terminating within the land region, a vertical groove connected with the first lateral groove, extending in the tyre circumferential direction, and having both end portions terminating within the land region, and a sipe connected with the vertical groove and extending therefrom toward the second edge.
Pneumatic tire
A pneumatic tire includes a plurality of blocks formed by being divided by a longitudinal groove in a tire width direction and divided by a lateral groove in a tire circumferential direction. The blocks include a first block on the inner side in the tire width direction, a second block on the outer side in the tire width direction, a third block adjacent to the first block in the tire circumferential direction, and a fourth block adjacent to the second block in the tire circumferential direction. The pneumatic tire includes a bridge formed in the longitudinal groove and the lateral groove and coupling the first block, the second block, and the third block, or the third block, the fourth block, and the second block.
