Abstract: A heavy-duty tire comprises two rows of middle blocks (11). The ground contacting face (S) of each middle block is defined as being surrounded with an axially inner longitudinal edge (14i), an axially outer longitudinal edge (14o), a first-side transverse edge (14a) and a second-side transverse edge (14b). The two transverse edges (14a and 14b) are substantially straight and substantially parallel with each other and inclined with respect to the tire axial direction. The axially inner longitudinal edge (14i) is nonlinear and has an axially inwardly protruding first-side protruding point (15a) and second-side protruding point (15b), and an axially outwardly denting part (16) therebetween. The axially outer longitudinal edge (14o) is nonlinear and has axially outwardly protruding first-side protruding point (20a) and second-side protruding point (20b), and an axially inwardly denting point (21) therebetween. The circumferential distances (Lia, Lib, Loa and Lob) between the protruding points (15a, 15b, 20a and 20b) and the adjacent circumferential ends (Pia, Pib, Poa and Pob) of the longitudinal edges (14i and 14o) are 5 to 15% of the circumferential length (Li, Lo) of the longitudinal edges (14i and 14o).

Abstract: Provided is a pneumatic tire in which left- and right-side lateral grooves extend between first main grooves and second main grooves, and in which left- and right-side sub grooves extend halfway from the second main grooves toward the first main grooves. The lateral grooves and the sub grooves are disposed alternately with each other at predetermined pitches in tire circumferential directions. The left- and right-side lateral grooves respectively include: first groove portions extending from the first main grooves; and second groove portions extending from the second main grooves while curving inwardly toward tire width directions. The left- and right-side lateral grooves are offset from each other in the tire circumferential directions. Opening portions at both ends of each of the lateral grooves, which are opened to the first main grooves and the second main grooves, are shifted from one another in the tire circumferential directions.

Abstract: A tread surface the tire rotational direction of which is specified in one direction includes a first main see-through groove extending in the circumferential direction of the tire in a region of from 4% to 15% of the tire ground contact width from the tire equatorial plane toward each of left and right sides. Lug grooves obliquely extend from the first main see-through grooves toward the outer sides of the tire in the reverse rotational direction of the tire so as to communicate with the tire ground contact ends, the lug grooves being disposed at prescribed intervals in the circumferential direction of the tire. Blocks are defined by the lug grooves and the first main see-through grooves. V-shaped transverse grooves are disposed between the first main see-through grooves at prescribed intervals in the circumferential direction of the tire, the transverse grooves having vertexes that face to the reverse rotational direction of the tire. Blocks are defined by the transverse grooves and the first main see-through grooves. The groove width W of each transverse groove measured in the circumferential direction of the tire is ranged from 0.1 L to 0.25 L with respect to the tire circumferential length L of the block adjacent the transverse groove. The ratio ACA/GCA of the total ground contact area ACA of the blocks to the ground contact area GCA of the entire tread surface is in the range of 55% to 75%.
