Abstract:
A tread pattern of a pneumatic tire includes circumferential main grooves, lug grooves and first and second sipes connecting the circumferential main grooves, a block land portion defined by the circumferential main grooves and the lug grooves and including the sipes. The lug grooves and the first and second sipes have a shape that projects toward one direction in the circumferential direction. A shallow depth groove raised bottom is provided in a turning portion where the lug groove includes a projecting apex. The projecting apex of a sipe turning portion including the projecting apex of the first sipe is within the range of the shallow depth groove raised bottom, and is inward in the lateral direction compared with the position of the projecting apex of a sipe turning portion including the projecting apex of the second sipe.
