Provided is a pneumatic tire. At least one land portion is defined and formed by a plurality of circumferential main grooves provided in a tread surface. A main sipe including a body portion and a chamfered portion is formed in at least one side of the body portion. A branch sipe branching from the chamfered portion is provided. The depth of the body portion is equal to or greater than the depth of the branch sipe.

A pneumatic tire includes the plurality of sipes, when, with regard to each sipe in which the shoulder-side end portion is located closest to a center side among the plurality of sipes, a position of the shoulder-side end portion of the sipe in the tire width direction is taken as a first reference position, and with regard to each sipe in which the center-side end portion is located closest to a shoulder side among the plurality of sipes, a position of the center-side end portion of the sipe in the tire width direction is taken as a second reference position, the plurality of sipes are arranged at regular intervals in the tire circumferential direction, and at other of the first reference position and the second reference position, the plurality of sipes are arranged at irregular intervals in the tire circumferential direction.

Provided is a pneumatic tire with wet steering stability performance and dry steering stability performance enhanced in a well-balanced manner.

A dimple group is composed of a plurality of dimples (100 to 104) disposed at intervals and aligned in a tire circumferential direction. When the minimum center-to-center distance between different dimples (100, 102) in an identical dimple group is defined as K and the minimum center-to-center distance between dimples (104, 100) in different dimple groups is defined as L, the ratio L/K is 3.5 or more and 10.0 or less and the minimum center-to-center distance L is 20 mm or more and equal to or less than a ground contact length.

A tire includes a tread portion including a first tread edge, a second tread edge, a crown land portion arranged between the first tread edge and the second tread edge, and a first crown circumferential groove extending continuously in a tire circumferential direction adjacent to the crown land portion on a first tread edge side. The first crown circumferential groove includes a groove bottom having a plurality of protrusions projecting in a tire radial direction. The crown land portion is not provided with drainage grooves that have an opening width exceeding 2.0 mm at a ground contact surface of the crown land portion and a depth exceeding 2.0 mm of an area where a distance between two opposite groove walls thereof exceeds 2.0 mm. The crown land portion is provided with a plurality of sipes.
