A tread for a heavy truck tire is provided that has a bottom surface (14), a shoulder rib (16), and a sacrificial rib (20) located outboard from the shoulder rib (16) in a width direction. A decoupling void (30) is located between the shoulder rib (16) and the sacrificial rib (20). First decoupling void sipes (32), second decoupling void sipes (100) and third decoupling void sipes (104) are in the shoulder rib (16), and one second decoupling void sipe (100) is between one first decoupling void sipe (32) and one third decoupling void sipe (104). The first and third decoupling void sipes (32, 104) are closer to the bottom surface (14) than is the decoupling void (30) in the thickness direction. The second decoupling void sipe (100) is not closer to the bottom surface (14) than is the decoupling void (30) to the bottom surface (14) in the thickness direction.

A tire 1 according to an example of an embodiment includes a plurality of lands, and a tread having a sipe formed in at least part of the lands. An inclined surface is formed between an opening end on at least one side in a width direction of the sipe and a ground contact surface, the inclined surface having a linear shape in cross section and continuing from the ground contact surface. An intermediate surface is formed between the inclined surface and the sipe, the intermediate surface having an inclination angle with respect to the ground contact surface of 0 degrees or having an inclination angle with respect to the ground contact surface that is smaller than an inclination angle of the inclined surface with respect to the ground contact surface.

A tread for a tire includes a first circumferential main groove, a second circumferential main groove, a third circumferential main groove, and a fourth circumferential main groove. The fourth main groove has a stabilizing structure for increasing tread stiffness. The stabilizing structure has a circumferentially extending wavy subgroove in a radially innermost bottom of the fourth circumferential main groove.

A tread for a tire includes a first circumferential main groove, a second circumferential main groove, a third circumferential main groove, and a fourth circumferential main groove. The fourth main groove has a stabilizing structure for increasing tread stiffness. The stabilizing structure has a circumferentially extending subgroove in a radially innermost bottom of the fourth circumferential main groove. The subgroove is axially offset a predetermined amount from a centerline of the fourth circumferential main groove.

Steering stability performance on dry road surfaces and steering stability performance on wet road surfaces are improved. A land portion width Wcc of a center land portion (31) and a land portion width Wco of an outer side middle land portion (32) satisfy a relationship of Wcc<Wco. In addition, a ground contact surface (10) of each of the outer side middle land portion (32) and an outer side shoulder land portion (34) is formed to protrude toward an outer side in a tire radial direction with respect to a reference profile PRco, PRso, and a protruding amount Hco of the outer side middle land portion (32) and a protruding amount Hso of the outer side shoulder land portion (34) satisfy a relationship of Hco<Hso.

A tyre includes a tread portion having a tread surface being provided with a plurality of lateral grooves extending in a tyre axial direction. In a cross-sectional view perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the at least one of the plurality of lateral grooves, the at least one of the plurality of lateral grooves includes a pair of groove walls and a groove bottom. At least one of the pair of groove walls includes a serrated portion including first surfaces and second surfaces that are arranged alternately. Each first surface is inclined outwardly in a groove width direction toward the groove bottom and has a radially inner end thereof, and each second surface extends substantially parallel with the tread surface from the radially inner end of a respective one of the first surfaces toward a groove centerline of the at least one of the plurality of lateral grooves.

A heavy duty pneumatic tire in which occurrence of uneven wear is inhibited is provided. In the tire, each shoulder land portion includes a groove wall portion forming a wall of a shoulder circumferential groove, and a cap portion located outward of the groove wall portion in an axial direction. A wear resistance index of the groove wall portion is lower than a wear resistance index of the cap portion. A ratio of a distance in the axial direction from an outer edge of the shoulder circumferential groove to a boundary between the groove wall portion and the cap portion on an outer surface of the shoulder land portion, to a width in the axial direction of the shoulder land portion, is not less than 20% and not greater than 30%.

A tread (12) for a heavy truck tire is provided that has a bottom surface (14), a shoulder rib (16), and a sacrificial rib (20) located outboard from the shoulder rib (16) in a width direction. A decoupling void (30) is located between the shoulder rib (16) and the sacrificial rib (20). A decoupling void sipe (32) is in the shoulder rib (16) and opens at the shoulder rib upper surface (18) and at the decoupling void (30). The decoupling void sipe (32) extends in the thickness direction and is closer to the bottom surface (14) than the decoupling void (30) in the thickness direction.

A tire includes a circumferentially continuous decoupling groove that extends radially inward toward the rotational axis of the tire. The decoupling groove is formed by inner and outer walls that are axially spaced apart from each other and joined by a base wall interconnecting inner radial portions thereof. A width between the inner and outer walls of the decoupling groove varies over a radial depth of the decoupling groove. The inner wall extends at an angle of approximately 5° from a radial plane disposed perpendicular to the rotational axis of the tire.
