A pneumatic tire includes a plurality of blocks formed by being divided by a longitudinal groove in a tire width direction and divided by a lateral groove in a tire circumferential direction. The blocks include a first block on the inner side in the tire width direction, a second block on the outer side in the tire width direction, a third block adjacent to the first block in the tire circumferential direction, and a fourth block adjacent to the second block in the tire circumferential direction. The pneumatic tire includes a bridge formed in the longitudinal groove and the lateral groove and coupling the first block, the second block, and the third block, or the third block, the fourth block, and the second block.

A pneumatic tire includes blocks (36 and 41) formed by main grooves (10 and 15) extending in a circumferential direction of the tire and lateral grooves (20 and 25) extending in a tire width direction, and notches (50, 60, and 70) in stepped side end portions of the blocks (36 and 41). The lateral grooves (20 and 25) extend obliquely such that a tire grounding end (E) side is grounded later. Portions adjacent to the notches (50, 60, and 70) on the tire grounding end (E) side of the notches (50, 60, and 70) are protrusions (51, 61, and 71) protruding while forming an acute angle toward a tire equator (C) side.

A tyre includes a tread portion provided with circumferentially extending main grooves and land portions. The main grooves include an outboard crown main groove, and an inboard crown main groove. The land portions include a crown land portion defined between the outboard crown main groove and the inboard crown main groove. The crown land portion is provided with first crown sipes having first ends connected to the outboard crown main groove and second ends terminating within the crown land portion, and second crown sipes having first ends connected to the inboard crown main groove and second ends terminating within the crown land portion, wherein the first crown sipes are inclined with respect to a tyre axial direction in a same direction as the second crown sipes, and the first crown sipes and the second crown sipes are different in angle with respect to the tyre axial direction.

A tire 1 includes a pair of crown circumferential grooves 30, a pair of shoulder circumferential grooves 31, a crown land portion 40, and a pair of middle land portions 41 and 42, the crown land portion 40 includes a main crown shallow groove 100 and at least two sub-crown shallow grooves 101 and 102 each extending so as to communicate with the crown circumferential groove 30 and the main crown shallow groove 100, the pair of middle land portions 41 and 42 include V-shaped slots 201 and 202, respectively, and the sub-crown shallow grooves 101 and 102 and the slots 201 and 202 are located so as to be substantially point-symmetrical about a midpoint between positions at which the adjacent sub-crown shallow grooves 101 and 102 communicate with the main crown shallow groove 100.

A heavy duty pneumatic tire includes a tread pattern that includes circumferential main grooves, a center wide groove extending in a center region between the circumferential main grooves, and center lug grooves disposed in a first center region and a second center region on either side of the center wide groove in the tire lateral direction, the center lug grooves having a linear shape and opening to the center wide groove. The center lug grooves and the circumferential main grooves have a narrower groove width than shoulder lug grooves disposed in a shoulder region. The center lug grooves of the first center region and the center lug grooves of the second center region extend parallel with one another. The center wide groove has a constant groove depth that is shallower than the maximum groove depth of the circumferential main grooves and the center lug grooves.

A tire includes a tread portion with a designated install direction to a vehicle to have an inboard tread edge and an outboard tread edge. The tread portion is provided with a circumferentially extending inboard shoulder main groove to form an inboard shoulder land portion and a circumferentially extending outboard shoulder main groove with a width smaller than a width of the inboard shoulder main groove to form an outboard shoulder land portion. The inboard shoulder land portion is provided with inboard shoulder lug grooves extending inwardly in a tire axial direction from at least the inboard tread edge and terminated within the inboard shoulder land portion. The outboard shoulder land portion is provided with outboard shoulder lug grooves extending inwardly in the tire axial direction from at least the outboard tread edge to the outboard shoulder main groove.

A pneumatic tire includes a block defined by first and second main grooves and first and second lateral grooves, wherein the block includes a slit having one end open to the first main groove and the other end terminating in the block, a first corrugated sipe having one end open to the first main groove and the other end terminating in the block, and a second corrugated sipe having one end open to the second main groove and the other end terminating in the block, the slit includes a notch groove and a center sipe, the center sipe includes a first portion extending from the notch groove toward the second main groove, and a second portion bent and extending from a terminal end of the first portion, and the first and second corrugated sipe are disposed in the tire circumferential direction across the center sipe.

A tire 1 includes a pair of crown circumferential grooves 30, a pair of shoulder circumferential grooves 31, a crown land portion 40, and a pair of middle land portions 41 and 42, the crown land portion 40 includes a main crown shallow groove 100 and at least two sub-crown shallow grooves 101 and 102 each extending so as to communicate with the crown circumferential groove 30 and the main crown shallow groove 100, the pair of middle land portions 41 and 42 include V-shaped slots 201 and 202, respectively, and the sub-crown shallow grooves 101 and 102 and the slots 201 and 202 are located so as to be substantially point-symmetrical about a midpoint between positions at which the adjacent sub-crown shallow grooves 101 and 102 communicate with the main crown shallow groove 100.
