In this pneumatic tire, stud pins are embedded. The stud pins each have: a chip having a chip leading end surface that comes into contact with a road surface; and a body that holds the chip therein. The chip leading end surface that comes into contact with the road surface has: a symmetry axis by which axial symmetry is defined; a centroid of the shape of the leading end surface that is shifted toward a first side of the axial direction of the symmetry axis with respect to the central position of a range occupied by the leading end surface in the axial direction of the symmetry axis; and a recess that is situated at the outer circumference of the leading end surface so as to be recessed inside the leading end surface, and that is disposed between a first farthest end, which is a portion ofthe outer circumference of the leading end surface that is located at the farthest place on the first side from the centroid on the symmetry axis and a second farthest end located at the farthest place on a second side opposite to the first side from the centroid.
