A tread portion has an outer tread end that is positioned on an outer side of a vehicle when mounted to the vehicle, a plurality of circumferential grooves that extend continuously in a tire circumferential direction, and a plurality of land portions that are defined by the circumferential grooves. The circumferential grooves include an outer circumferential groove that extends adjacently to a tire equator in a region closer to the outer tread end than the tire equator is. The land portions include an outer shoulder land portion that is defined between the outer circumferential groove and the outer tread end so as to continuously extend therebetween in a tire axial direction, and that has the largest width in the tire axial direction among the land portions. The outer shoulder land portion has a first outer lateral groove that extends inward in the tire axial direction and terminates in the outer shoulder land portion. An angle of the first outer lateral groove relative to the tire axial direction at a terminating position in the outer shoulder land portion is 0 to 20°.

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 comprises a tread portion having a land region including a ground contacting surface defined between a first vertical edge and a second vertical edge and a lateral groove including a first portion extending from the first vertical edge, a second portion extending from the second vertical edge, and a connection portion connecting therebetween. The connection portion is a portion between a first small edge protruding circumferentially from the first portion and a second small edge protruding toward a circumferentially opposite side to the first small edge. A length in the tyre circumferential direction of each of the first and second small edges is smaller than a maximum groove width of each of the first and second portions. At least a part of the connection portion has a raised bottom portion having a depth smaller than that of the lateral groove at the first and second vertical edges.

Disclosed is a pneumatic tire including: in a tread surface of a tread portion, a pair of main grooves (center main groove and shoulder main groove) arranged side by side in a tire lateral direction and extending in a tire circumferential direction; land portions (middle land portion) defined by the main grooves; a plurality of lug grooves arranged side by side in the tire circumferential direction and bent and folded back, each of the lug grooves including one end communicating with the shoulder main groove, the other end terminating within the middle land portion, and a bending point in a middle of a path from one end to the other end; and sipes extending across the lug grooves, at least one side of the sipe with respect to the lug groove being formed in a zigzag shape.

A tyre includes a tread portion provided with an outer main groove, an inner main groove, and a middle main groove. Each of the main grooves has a pair of groove edges arranged on both sides in a tyre axial direction and extending in a tyre circumferential direction. At least one of the groove edges includes circumferential portions extending in the tyre circumferential direction and axial portions inclined at larger angles than the circumferential portions with respect to the tyre circumferential direction. When an axial portion total length is a sum of axial lengths of the axial portions included in the main grooves, an axial portion total lengths L1, L2, and L3 of the outer main groove, the middle main groove, and the inner main groove, respectively, satisfy Expressions (1) and (2) shown below;
L1>L3  Ex. (1)
L1≥L2≥L3  Ex. (2).

In a tire having composite grooves provided on a shoulder land portion, dry performance and wet performance are improved. The tire includes a tread portion 2. The tread portion 2 includes a first shoulder land portion 13. The first shoulder land portion 13 has shoulder lateral grooves 15 and shoulder composite grooves 20. The shoulder lateral grooves 15 and the shoulder composite grooves 20 are each curved so as to be convex in a tire circumferential direction. Each shoulder composite groove 20 includes, in a cross section thereof, a sipe element 21 having a width not greater than 1.5 mm and extending from a tread surface of the first shoulder land portion 13 in a tire radial direction, and a groove element 22 connected to an inner side in the tire radial direction of the sipe element 21 and having a width greater than 1.5 mm.

A first lateral groove and a second lateral groove are formed in a pneumatic tire. A first inclined portion is formed on one side of the first lateral groove in the tire circumferential direction, and a second inclined portion is formed on the other side of the second lateral groove in the tire circumferential direction. The first inclined portion is inclined from tire radial direction outside to tire radial direction inside by chamfering the end of one side circumferential block in the tire circumferential direction. The second inclined portion is inclined from tire radial direction outside to tire radial direction inside by chamfering the end of the other side circumferential block in the tire circumferential direction. The first inclined portion crosses the circumferential block and communicates with the circumferential groove. One end portion of the second inclined portion in the tire width direction terminates in the circumferential direction block.

On a tread of tire, an inclined width direction groove, a plurality of zigzag sipes, an inclined width direction groove and a plurality of zigzag sipes are repeatedly formed in the tire circumferential direction. The inclined width direction groove communicates with the circumferential direction groove, one end of the sipe portion communicates with the narrow groove portion, and the other end of the sipe portion terminates in the rib-like block without communicating with the circumferential direction groove. The inclined width direction groove communicates with the circumferential direction groove, one end of the sipe portion communicates with the narrow groove portion, and the other end of the sipe portion terminates in the rib-like block without communicating with the circumferential direction groove.
