Abstract: A heavy duty pneumatic tire includes a tread pattern that includes circumferential main grooves, a center wide groove extending in a center region between the circumferential main grooves, and center lug grooves disposed in a first center region and a second center region on either side of the center wide groove in the tire lateral direction, the center lug grooves having a linear shape and opening to the center wide groove. The center lug grooves and the circumferential main grooves have a narrower groove width than shoulder lug grooves disposed in a shoulder region. The center lug grooves of the first center region and the center lug grooves of the second center region extend parallel with one another. The center wide groove has a constant groove depth that is shallower than the maximum groove depth of the circumferential main grooves and the center lug grooves.

Abstract: A pneumatic tire comprises a carcass layer, a belt layer disposed on the outer side in the tire radial direction of the carcass layer, and tread rubber disposed on the outer side in the tire radial direction of the belt layer. The belt layer is formed by laminating a pair of cross belts having belt angles with an absolute value from 10° to 45° both inclusive and mutually opposite signs, and a circumferential reinforcing layer having a belt angle within a range of ±5° relative to the tire circumferential direction. The distance (Gcc) from the tread profile to the tire inner circumferential surface along the tire equatorial plane and the distance (Gsh) from the tread edge to the tire inner circumferential surface have a relationship satisfying 1.10≤Gsh/Gcc. The groove depth (Dsh) and under-groove gauge (UDsh) of the outermost circumferential main groove have a relationship satisfying 0.20≤UDsh/Dsh.

Abstract: A tread pattern of a pneumatic tire comprises shoulder lug grooves that open to ground contact edges; center lug grooves; a pair of circumferential primary grooves with a narrower groove width than the shoulder lug grooves, wherein a portion that bends outward in the tire width direction connects to the shoulder lug grooves and a portion that bends inward in the tire width direction connects to the center lug grooves; and center blocks defined by the center lug grooves and the circumferential primary grooves. The circumferential primary grooves are on opposite sides in the tire width direction in regions spaced from a center line by a distance of from 30% to 60% of half of a tread width T. The ratio of the groove width P3 of the center lug grooves to the maximum length LB in the tire circumferential direction of the center blocks is from 0.03 to 0.07.
