Abstract: A tread pattern of a pneumatic tire includes circumferential main grooves, a land portion defined by the circumferential main grooves in the lateral direction, and sipes at intervals in a circumferential direction, the sipes connecting the circumferential main grooves with each other. Each of the sipes has a peak-like shape protruding to a first side in the circumferential direction. When, in a profile cross-section of the tread portion taken along the lateral direction, an arc passing through two land portion edge points at which a tread surface of the land portion is connected with groove wall surfaces of the circumferential main grooves and having a center point positioned on the equator line is set to a standard profile line, a profile line formed by the tread surface of the land portion is a swelling profile line protruding outward of the standard profile line in a radial direction.

Abstract: A tire includes a first middle land portion having circumferentially extending first and second longitudinal edges. The first middle land portion is provided with middle lateral grooves. At least one of the middle lateral grooves includes a first groove portion extending in the tire axial direction from the first longitudinal edge, and a second groove portion extending in the tire axial direction from the second longitudinal edge. The first groove portion and the second groove portion are offset in the tire circumferential direction to form a pair of circumferential groove edges between a pair of groove edges of the first groove portion and a pair of groove edges of the second groove portion. A maximum groove depth of the first groove portion is different from a maximum groove depth of the second groove portion.
