    Abstract: A heavy duty tire can have a tread portion that includes a plurality of circumferential grooves that zigzag, a plurality of lateral grooves connecting between zigzag vertexes of the circumferential grooves, and a plurality of hexagonal blocks formed by the circumferential grooves and the lateral grooves. A groove depth of the circumferential groove can be 21 mm or more. Each of the hexagonal blocks can include a three-dimensional sipe extending across the hexagonal block. The lateral groove can include a raised portion formed by raising a groove bottom of the lateral groove to connect between the hexagonal blocks adjacent to each other in the tire circumferential direction.

    Abstract: A tire includes a tread portion including a first land portion, the first land portion being provided with a plurality of first sipes. The plurality of first sipes extends in an arc shape manner. The plurality of first sipes is arranged on the first land portion without communicating with lateral grooves extending in a tire axial direction. In a tread plan view, a virtual sipe reference line of each of the plurality of first sipes has an angle equal to or less than 10 degrees with respect to a tire circumferential direction, wherein the virtual sipe reference line is a straight line that connects both ends of each of the plurality of first sipes.

    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.

    Abstract: A tire comprises a tread portion including a land portion. In the land portion, closed sipes are arranged in a tire axial direction. Each of the closed sipes includes a first end, a second end, a first sipe piece extending in the tire axial direction on a first end side, a second sipe piece extending in the tire axial direction on a second end side, and a third sipe piece inclined with respect to the tire axial direction and positioned between the first sipe piece and the second sipe piece. The closed sipes arranged in the tire axial direction overlap each other in the tire axial direction.

    Abstract: The tire has first crown blocks each including a ground contacting surface and a block wall surface. The block wall surface includes a first block wall surface adjacent to crown grooves and a second block wall surface adjacent to a first shoulder circumferential groove. The first block wall surface is provided with a chamfered portion on the ground contacting surface side in a range of 50% or more of a length of the first block wall surface. The second block wall surface is either not provided with the chamfered portion or provided with the chamfered portion in a range of less than 50% of a length of the second block wall surface.

    Abstract: A tire includes a first middle land portion provided with middle lateral grooves that traverses the first middle land portion completely in the tire axial direction, and first middle sipes that extends from a first longitudinal edge of the first middle land portion and has terminal ends in the first middle land portion. Each middle lateral groove includes a first groove portion extending from the first longitudinal edge, a second groove portion extending from a second longitudinal edge, and a circumferential groove portion being in communication with the first and second groove portions. The circumferential groove portion includes a first circumferential groove edge on a first longitudinal edge side and a second circumferential groove edge on a second longitudinal edge side. The terminal ends of the first middle sipes are located on the second longitudinal edge side to the first circumferential groove edges of the circumferential groove portions.

    Abstract: A tread block arrangement is for a tire or for a tread band for a tire. The tread block arrangement includes a tread block having at least a first sipe delimited by a first sipe wall, a second sipe wall and a bottom of the sipe. The first sipe wall and the second sipe wall are arranged parallel to each other and define a width (w) of the sipe. At least the first sipe wall has at least one inclined section in which a width of a surface of the first sipe wall in a longitudinal direction of the sipe and the width of the sipe increases towards the bottom of the sipe.
