In a pneumatic tire, a groove depth H1 of each of first and second inclined lug grooves over an entire region from an opening portion to a corresponding one of first or second circumferential main grooves to a terminating end portion within a center land portion has a relationship with a maximum groove depth Hg of the corresponding one of the first or second circumferential main grooves represented by 0.80≤H1/Hg≤1.00. Additionally, a maximum groove depth H2 of each of first and second lateral grooves has a relationship with a groove depth H1e at a terminating end portion of the corresponding one of the first and second inclined lug grooves represented by 0.70≤H2/H1e≤0.90.

A tire tread sculpture designed to achieve a high level of dry braking and great handling while not sacrificing snow traction a sculpture design implementing a continuous rib design across the entire width of the tire summit while reducing lateral pull due to the effect of the tread sculpture is disclosed, the tread sculpture having a plurality of lateral shoulder region features at a first angle and a center rib with a plurality of center features at an angle opposite to the shoulder region features.

A pneumatic tire of the present disclosure includes: a pair of main grooves, lateral grooves and longitudinal grooves, wherein a center land, repeats, in the tire circumferential direction, four center blocks, each of the four center blocks includes a recessed portion that is open to the main groove, the lateral groove or the longitudinal groove and has one end closed, when the recessed portions provided in the four center blocks are defined as first to fourth recessed portions, the first recessed portion and the second recessed portion extend in a direction inclined to one direction with respect to the tire equator line, and the third recessed portion and the fourth recessed portion extend in a direction inclined to another direction with respect to the tire equator line, and a groove width of each of the first to fourth recessed portions is 5.0 mm or more.

A tire has a tread portion having a second middle land region which is provided with middle lateral grooves and circumferentially divided into middle blocks. Each middle block is provided with two first middle sipes extending from a second shoulder circumferential groove, and one second middle sipe disposed between the two first middle sipes. Each first middle sipe extends in a wavy manner in its depth direction. The second middle sipe extends straight in its depth direction. The second middle sipe extends from the second shoulder circumferential groove and is terminated within the second middle land region.

A pneumatic tire includes a circumferential direction groove extending in a zigzag shape with a first groove part and a second groove part being aligned alternately, a first land part and a second land part. A first lateral groove has a first opening that opens to the first groove part, one groove wall of the first lateral groove is connected to a first land part-side second groove wall demarcating the first land part in the second groove part. A second lateral groove has a second opening that opens to the first groove part and longer than the first opening in the tire circumferential direction, one groove wall of the second lateral groove is connected to a second land part-side second groove wall demarcating the second land part in the second groove part, and the second opening is provided on an extension of the first land part-side second groove wall.

Embodiments of the disclosure include pneumatic tires having improved snow performance. Said tires include a cap ply extending at least partially across a full width of at least one of the belt plies and having a rupture force greater than 210 N per 15 mm of cap ply width. A shoulder rib includes a compliance groove or sipe extending primarily in a circumferential direction and to a depth equal to or less than 75% of the skid depth. The lateral sipes and grooves are arranged to provide an average lateral feature spacing of less than 15 mm. The average inclination angle for the lateral grooves is greater than 6 degrees in the shoulder ribs and is greater than 20 degrees in the central ribs. A longitudinal non-lateral sipe edge density is greater than 21.1 micrometers/mm.sup.2. A longitudinal lateral sipe edge density for all lateral sipes is greater than 5.5 micrometers/mm.sup.2.

A tire for running on rough terrain for which an intended tire rotational direction is specified. The tread portion is provided with blocks raised from a tread base portion. Each block has a first side wall surface comprising a radially outer portion extending substantially straight and radially inwardly, while inclining toward the toe side in the intended tire rotational direction, and a radially inner portion extending from the radially outer portion to the tread base portion while curving in an arc shape. The radially outer portion has a radial length of from 30% to 70% of a radial height of the block.

A tire for running on rough terrain for which an intended tire rotational direction is specified, and which comprises a tread portion provided with crown blocks disposed on the tire equator. Each of the crown blocks comprises a V-shaped crown block main portion which bends convexly toward a circumferential direction opposite to the intended tire rotation direction, and only two crown fin portions projecting from the crown block main portion toward the above-said circumferential direction opposite to the intended tire rotation direction.
