In a tread portion of a pneumatic tire, an average lateral groove width Lc of a center region is obtained by dividing the groove area of lateral grooves in the center region by a circumferential length of the center region, and an average lateral groove width Lsh of a shoulder region is obtained by dividing the groove area of lateral grooves in the shoulder region by a circumferential length of the shoulder region. A relationship between a tire average thickness Gc of the center region and a tire average thickness Gsh in the shoulder region satisfies 1.05≤(Gc/Gsh)≤1.35, a relationship between the average lateral groove width Lc of the center region and the tire average thickness Gc in the center region satisfies 0.07≤(Lc/Gc)≤0.12, and a relationship between the average lateral groove width Lsh of the shoulder region and the tire average thickness Gsh in the shoulder region satisfies 0.17≤(Lsh/Gsh)≤0.26.

A tire includes circumferential main grooves, lug grooves, and land portions defined by the circumferential main grooves and the lug grooves. The circumferential main grooves extend in a circumferential direction. The lug grooves extend in a width direction, include shoulder and center lug grooves, and have an end opening to a circumferential main groove. Narrow shallow grooves in center and shoulder land portions have an end opening to a circumferential main groove and have a groove depth of 10-40% of a circumferential main groove depth. The shoulder lug grooves are on an outer side of a shoulder main groove in the width direction and have an end opening to the shoulder main groove. The center lug grooves are between the center and shoulder main grooves, have both ends opening to circumferential main grooves, and have a minimum width wider than a minimum width of the shoulder lug groove.

A tire includes a pair of shoulder main grooves and one or more center main grooves extending in a tire circumferential direction and four or more rows of land portions defined by the pair of shoulder main grooves and the one or more center main grooves. Each of the pair of shoulder main grooves includes a groove opening portion having a wave-like shape with an amplitude in a tire width direction. Each of the pair of shoulder main grooves includes a groove bottom portion having a zigzag shape with an amplitude in the tire width direction. The groove opening portion in each of the pair of shoulder main grooves has an amplitude A1_sh having a relationship A1_sh<A2_sh with respect to an amplitude A2_sh of the groove bottom portion.

A tire includes a plurality of main grooves extending in a tire circumferential direction and four or more rows of land portions defined by the main grooves. Moreover, a middle land portion and a center land portion have a plurality of through lug grooves that pass through the land portions in a tire width direction, respectively. Pitch lengths of the through lug grooves are in a range of from 7% or greater to 14% or less of a tire maximum ground contact length. Additionally, maximum groove depths of the through lug grooves are in a range of from 5% or greater to 65% or less of maximum groove depths of the main grooves.

A tire includes a tread portion. The tread portion includes two main grooves extending continuously in a tire circumferential direction and a land region defined between the two main grooves. The two main grooves extend in a zigzag manner with phases thereof aligned with each other. The land region is provided with a longitudinal sipe extending in the tire circumferential direction in a zigzag manner with a phase thereof opposite to the phases of the zigzags of the two main grooves.

A pneumatic tire includes: a rib defined by a circumferential main groove; circumferential sipes formed in the rib at intervals in the circumferential direction; rib edge sipes formed in the rib aligning in the circumferential direction, each of the rib edge sipes terminating in the rib opening to the circumferential main groove; and first and second narrow grooves extending in the circumferential direction, each of the first and second narrow grooves having a groove depth shallower than depths of the circumferential sipes and the rib edge sipes, the first narrow grooves having ends connected to one of the circumferential sipes adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction and the second narrow grooves each including an inner connecting portion connected to one of the first narrow shallow grooves and including an outer connecting portion connected to one of the rib edge sipes.

Provided is a tire including a tread portion. The tread portion can include three circumferential grooves and four land portions. The circumferential grooves can include two shoulder circumferential grooves and one crown circumferential groove. The land portions can include two shoulder land portions and two middle land portions. The two middle land portions can each include a circumferential sipe, a plurality of first middle lateral grooves, and a plurality of second middle lateral grooves. The two shoulder land portions can each include a plurality of shoulder lateral grooves extending from a tread end and terminating in the shoulder land portion.

A tyre having a tread is described. The tyre has a central portion located across an equatorial plane, a first shoulder portion located towards an outer side of the tyre and a second shoulder portion located towards an inner side of the tyre. The central portion is separated from the first shoulder portion by two first circumferential grooves. The first shoulder portion and the second shoulder portion have a plurality of first transverse grooves having a first end located substantially at the respective edge of the tread, having a width greater than or equal to about 4 mm and an axial extension equal to at least 50% of the width of the shoulder portion in which they are located.
