8. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein a cross section of the first projection is formed into a trapezoidal shape which is widened toward a surface of the side wall portion.

9. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein each of an inside end in the tire diametrical direction of the first projection and an inside end in the tire diametrical direction of the second projection is arranged closer to an outer side in the tire diametrical direction than a tire maximum width position.

10. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein a difference between a height H 1 of the first projection and a height H 2 of the second projection on the basis of a surface of the side wall portion is equal to or less than 2.5 mm.

11. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein a difference between a width W 1 of the first projection and a width W 2 of the second projection in a tire circumferential direction is equal to or less than 5.0 mm.

12. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein cross sectional shapes of the first projection and the second projection are flat,

wherein a width W 1 of the first projection in a tire circumferential direction is greater than a height H 1 of the first projection on the basis of a surface of the side wall portion, and

wherein a width W 2 of the second projection in the tire circumferential direction is greater than a height H 2 of the second projection on the basis of the surface of the side wall portion.
