Abstract:
A tire includes a tread portion including four circumferential grooves extending continuously in the tire circumferential direction and five land portions divided by the four circumferential grooves. The five land portions include a first middle land portion located between a first tread edge and a tire equator. The first middle land portion is provided with first middle sipes inclined with respect to a tire axial direction and fully traversing the first middle land portion in the tire axial direction. Each first middle sipe includes a pair of sipe edges, and at least one of the pair of sipe edges opens at the ground contact surface via a chamfer portion over an entire length thereof. The chamfer portion has a chamfer width increasing continuously from a first longitudinal edge to a second longitudinal edge of the first middle land portion.
