Grooves (61, 62, 63) are oriented in the axial direction of the tire. Each intermediate rib (51, 52, 53) has a mean width≤0.25 Wt and ≥0.75 Ht (thickness of material to be worn away). Grooves, (61, 62, 63) have, over a height H12 at least equal to 65% of H1, a width≤ to the value obtained from 0.04√{square root over (B1.Math.H1)}.

A tire has a tread portion provided with circumferential grooves. The ground contact area of the tread portion has ground contact lengths in the tire circumferential direction which include a crown ground contact length LC at the tire equator C and a shoulder ground contact length LS at a position spaced apart from the tire equator C by 80% of a half tread width Tw. The crown ground contact length LC is 0.95 to 1.05 times the shoulder ground contact length LS. Groove depths of the circumferential grooves are proportional to ground contact lengths of the ground contact area at the respective axial positions of the circumferential grooves.

A pneumatic tire includes: a first main groove and a second main groove extending in a tire circumferential direction; and a first land defined by the first main groove and the second main groove, wherein the first land includes a plurality of slits extending across the first land in a tire width direction and open to the first main groove and the second main groove, the plurality of slits include first slits each having a first raised portion where a part of a groove bottom is raised and second slits each having a second raised portion where a part of a groove bottom is raised to be lower than the first raised portion, the first raised portion includes a first sipe extending along a direction where the first slits extend, and the first slits and the second slits are arranged alternately with each other in the tire circumferential direction.

In a pneumatic tire, a plurality of main grooves include a shoulder main groove which is arranged between a shoulder land and a first middle land, the first middle land comprises a plurality of first middle sipes which are contiguous with the shoulder main groove, the shoulder main groove comprises a plurality of first openings which are contiguous with the plurality of shoulder slits, a plurality of second openings which are contiguous with the plurality of first middle slits, and a plurality of third openings which are contiguous with the plurality of first middle sipes, and the plurality of first openings are respectively separated in the tire circumferential direction from all of the second openings and all of the third openings.

A pneumatic tire includes, in a tread portion, main grooves extending in a circumferential direction; ribs defined by the main grooves; at least one rib comprising sipes extending in a lateral direction; the sipes comprising a chamfered sipe with a chamfer portion provided on at least one edge, and a non-chamfered sipe with no chamfer portion provided on an edge; the chamfered sipe comprising one end portion terminating in the at least one rib and another end portion communicating with one of the main grooves located on either side of the at least one rib; a plurality of the chamfered sipes communicating with one of the main grooves located on either side of the at least one rib being alternately disposed in the circumferential direction; and the non-chamfered sipe being disposed close to the chamfered sipe on at least one side in the circumferential direction.

A tire includes a tread portion including at least one land region extending in a tire circumferential direction. The land region is provided with a plurality of axial groove portions curved so as to protrude in one direction in the tire circumferential direction in a plan view. The axial groove portions include first axial groove portions and second axial groove portions having different degree of curvature from the first axial groove portions.

In regions, divided by the tire equator, on both sides of the tread surface of a tire, the tire includes a grip area along the entire circumference of the tread, the grip area including a plurality of recessed lines, with a shape recessed toward an inner side of the tire from the outline of the tread surface, that extend from the tread edge side in a direction inclined relative to the tire equator and are arrayed in parallel, and a plurality of sipes that extend toward the tire equator in a direction inclined relative to the tire equator, starting in the grip area and terminating before the tire equator.
