Abstract:
A tread portion 2 includes four circumferential grooves 3 and five land portions 4. Each of the five land portions 4 is provided with no groove having a groove width greater than 2.0 mm, and is provided with only sipes 9. The four circumferential grooves 3 include a shoulder circumferential groove 5. The five land portions 4 include a shoulder land portion 11 and a middle land portion 13. The middle land portion 13 is provided with a plurality of middle sipes 30. The shoulder land portion 11 is provided with a plurality of shoulder sipes 20 each extending from the shoulder circumferential groove 5 to a position beyond a tread end. At least one of the shoulder sipes 20 includes an inclined portion 21. A maximum angle of the inclined portion 21 with respect to a tire axial direction is not greater than a maximum angle of the middle sipe 30 with respect to the tire axial direction. A difference between the maximum angle of the inclined portion 21 and the maximum angle of the middle sipe 30 is not greater than 5°.
