Abstract:
A component Fin toward an axial inner direction of the tire which is an opposite direction from an axial outer direction of the tire is applied to a force acting on a kicking end 16B of a land portion 16. With this, abrasion of the kicking end of the land portion can be moderated, and a biased abrasion resistance can be enhanced. A groove wall 20 of a lug groove 14 is provided with a step portion 22, a tread side groove width WA in a tread side of the step portion is widened toward an axial outer side of the tire, and a width WS of the step portion 22 is increased toward the axial outer side of the tire, thereby suppressing the lift from the road surface 26 at the tread-in end 16A of the land portion 16.
