The crown land portion is provided with at least one crown sipe extending from the inboard crown circumferential groove or the outboard crown circumferential groove and terminating within the crown land portion, and crosses the axially center position of the crown land portion.

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 tire includes a tread portion including first and second tread edges, a first shoulder land portion including the first tread edge, and a first shoulder circumferential groove located inwardly in a tire axial direction of and adjacent to the first shoulder land portion and extending continuously in a tire circumferential direction. The first shoulder land portion is provided with a plurality of first shoulder lateral grooves extending from the first shoulder circumferential groove across the first tread edge, each of the plurality of first shoulder lateral grooves has a pair of first groove walls, and the pair of first groove walls is provided with a pair of first chamfer portions that extends from the first shoulder circumferential groove to a first location beyond the first tread edge.

A tire, the speed rating of which is at least V, comprises a tread, having a volumetric void ratio at least equal to 2% and at most equal to 20%, having a central part Pc comprising at least one groove, and two lateral parts PI each having a volumetric void ratio at most equal to 2%. The central part Pc of the tread has an axial width at most equal to one third of the axial width LBDR of the tread, and any portion of the central part Pc of the tread that is circumferentially delimited by two meridian planes separated by a circumferential distance dc equal to one tenth of the outer perimeter P of the tire comprises at least one and at most three grooves that open onto the meridian planes delimiting the portion in question.

The tire (10) for a passenger vehicle has an axially central portion and axially lateral portions. The axially central portion and each axially lateral portion satisfies just one of conditions I, II, III: I—the portion comprises no transverse cut (90, 90′), II—the portion comprises N transverse cuts (90, 90′) arranged in such a way that π×OD/N≥40 mm, III—the portion comprises N transverse cuts (90, 90′) arranged in such a way that π×OD/N≤24 mm, condition I or II being satisfied by the axially central portion or by an axially lateral portion, and condition III being satisfied by the axially central portion or by an axially lateral portion.

A tire comprises a tread portion comprising a shoulder land region provided with shoulder lateral grooves and circumferential sipes connecting between the shoulder lateral grooves. The shoulder lateral grooves are each provided with a chamfer. The circumferential sipes are each spaced apart from an axially inner end of the shoulder land region by an axial distance of from 30% to 100% of an axial width of the shoulder land region. The depths of the circumferential sipes are equal to or greater than the groove depths of the shoulder lateral grooves.

Provided is a pneumatic tire. Center land portions between main grooves extending in a zigzag shape along a circumferential direction on both sides of an equator of a tread portion are defined into repeating units by first shallow grooves that extend along a lateral direction, have both ends communicating with portions other than bent portions of the main grooves, and are disposed at intervals in the circumferential direction. The repeating units are aggregates of four blocks defined by second shallow grooves extending from the main grooves in the lateral direction and converging toward one point on the equator, a third shallow groove extending from one of the first shallow grooves adjacent to the repeating unit to one of the second shallow grooves, and a fourth shallow groove extending from an other of the first shallow grooves adjacent to the repeating units to an other of the second shallow grooves.

A first land region is defined between a first main groove and a second main groove extending in a tyre circumferential direction. The first land region is provided with a first oblique groove and a second oblique groove. The first oblique groove extends obliquely with respect to a tyre axial direction from the first main groove to have an end portion terminating within the first land region. The second oblique groove extends obliquely with respect to the tyre axial direction from the second main groove to intersect with a middle groove portion of the first oblique groove and terminate there.

The tire includes a tread portion having a plurality of circumferential grooves and land regions. The land regions include a crown land region and a first middle land region. The crown land region has a plurality of crown lateral grooves. The first middle land region has a plurality of first middle lateral grooves. In a tread plan view, an angle between a first linear line connecting both ends of each of the crown lateral grooves and a second linear line connecting both ends of a respective one of the first middle lateral grooves is 90 degrees or more and 150 degrees or less. Each of the crown lateral grooves includes a first end portion, a second end portion, and a center portion. The center portion has a groove width smaller than a groove width of the first end portion and a groove width of the second end portion.

A pneumatic tire includes shoulder lands and a center land, defined by main grooves on both sides of an equator in a zigzag pattern along a circumferential direction, are defined in a tread. Shoulder lug grooves extending in a width direction are formed in each of the shoulder lands. First and second center lug grooves, which extend from the shoulder lug grooves across each of the main grooves and are inclined at an angle of 45°-70° with respect to the width direction, are disposed in the center land. The first center lug groove terminates at the equator, and the second center lug groove terminates without reaching the equator. The first and second center lug grooves are alternately disposed in the circumferential direction. Connecting grooves inclined in an opposite direction to an inclination direction of the center lug grooves to connect the center lug grooves are formed in the center land.
