A tyre includes a tread portion including an outboard middle land portion disposed between an outboard tread edge and a tyre equator. The outboard middle land portion includes first and second longitudinal edges, outboard middle lateral grooves extending from the first longitudinal edge and having terminal ends within the outboard middle land portion, first outboard middle sipes extending from the respective terminal ends of the outboard middle lateral grooves to the second longitudinal edge, and second outboard middle sipes extending from the first longitudinal edge toward the second longitudinal edge beyond the terminal ends of the outboard middle lateral grooves and terminating within the outboard middle land portion. The outboard middle land portion is not provided with any lateral grooves that extend from the second longitudinal edge toward the first longitudinal edge to reach an axial center location of the outboard middle land portion.

A pneumatic tire includes alternating first and second groove portions. The first groove portion intersects an equator and extends in a width direction. The second groove portion inclines from the first groove portion to a tread edge at a smaller angle relative to a circumferential direction than an angle of the first groove portion relative to the circumferential direction. The first groove portion communicates with the second groove portion of the lug groove adjacent in the circumferential direction. The first groove portion is on a stepping side of each lug groove. The second groove portions are curved or bent and an average angle of the second groove portions in an inner region is smaller than in an outer region. Shallow grooves having a bent point are formed on blocks. The blocks are defined by circumferential narrow grooves connecting the second groove portions adjacent in the circumferential direction and the lug grooves.

This pneumatic tire includes a carcass layer, a pair of cross belts disposed on an outer side of the carcass layer in a radial direction, and a tread rubber including a cap tread and an undertread that are layered, the tread rubber being disposed on the outer side of the cross belts in the radial direction. Additionally, the loss tangent tan δ_cap of the cap tread 151 at 60° C. has the relationship tan δ_ut<tan δ_cap with respect to the loss tangent tan δ_ut of the undertread 152 at 60° C. In addition, a maximum gauge UT_ce of the undertread in center land portions has the relationship 1.20≤UT_ce/UT_sh≤2.50 with respect to a maximum gauge UT_sh of the undertread in ground contact regions of shoulder land portions.

A tire comprises a tread portion provided with grooves. When the tire mounted on a standard wheel rim and inflated to a standard tire pressure is placed on a flat surface at a camber angle of zero and loaded with a standard tire load, the tire has a ground contacting patch. The depths of the respective circumferential grooves, and ground contact lengths of the ground contacting patch measured at axial positions of the respective circumferential grooves, are in a relationship in which the groove depth increases or decreases as the ground contact length increases or decreases.

A tire includes a plurality of main lug grooves and a plurality of sub lug grooves that extend in a tire width direction and penetrate a tread surface, and that are arranged at predetermined intervals in a tire circumferential direction. Additionally, the main lug grooves have a maximum groove width Wg1 of 15.0 mm or more and a maximum groove depth of 23.5 mm or more. In addition, the sub lug grooves have a maximum groove width Wg2 that satisfies 0.10≤Wg2/Wg1≤0.35 with respect to the maximum groove width Wg1 of the main lug grooves. Additionally, at least one of the sub lug grooves is disposed between adjacent ones of the main lug grooves.

A pneumatic tire of the embodiment including two main grooves provided on a tread and extending in a tire circumferential direction; a center land portion formed between the two main grooves and extending in the tire circumferential direction; a pair of shoulder land portions formed between a ground contact end and the main groove; a center auxiliary groove provided on the center land portion; and a shoulder auxiliary groove provided on the shoulder land portion, in which the center auxiliary groove has a groove width narrower than that of the main groove and extends in the tire circumferential direction, and the shoulder auxiliary groove has a groove width narrower than that of the main groove and extends in the tire circumferential direction.

A heavy truck tire tread with a rib (18) located between first (14) and second (16) tread grooves. A shoulder block (30) is adjacent the rib and at a shoulder edge of the tread, and a decouple groove (32) is present that decouples the shoulder block from the rib. The decouple groove is spaced from and free from engagement with the shoulder edge, and extends at least twice as long in the longitudinal direction than in the lateral direction. The width of the decouple groove is less than widths of the first and second tread grooves. The tread has an average void depth that does not go past a twenty percent line, where the twenty percent line is twenty percent of a full void depth located from an outer surface of the tread, and where the average void depth does not include decouple grooves and tread outboard from the decouple grooves.

A tire includes four zigzag circumferential grooves and hexagonal blocks divided by the lateral grooves each extending so as to connect between adjacent ones of the zigzag circumferential grooves. The zigzag circumferential grooves include a pair of center circumferential grooves each having a groove width not more than 4.0 mm and a pair of shoulder circumferential grooves each having a groove width larger than that of each of the center circumferential grooves. A depth of each of the lateral grooves is smaller than a depth of each of the zigzag circumferential grooves, and a groove bottom of each of the lateral grooves is provided with a first sipe.

A pneumatic tire comprises circumferential main grooves extending in the tire circumferential direction and land portions defined by the circumferential main grooves. The land portions are each provided with a plurality of groove units which are sets including a first groove, a second groove, and a third groove. The first groove, the second groove, the third groove are disposed without meeting one another, and radially extend at intervals from each other ranging from 90 degrees to 150 degrees. Additionally, the first groove is a lug groove with the groove width ranging from 1.5 mm to 4.0 mm and has a semi-closed structure, opening to the circumferential main groove or the tire ground contact edge at a first end portion and terminating within the land portion at a second end portion.
