5. The tire according to claim 1 , wherein a ratio of a maximum groove length of the plurality of narrow shallow grooves to a maximum width of the land portion is not less than 0.1 and not greater than 0.8.

6. The tire according to claim 1 , wherein a pitch length of the plurality of narrow shallow grooves is not less than 1.1 times and not greater than 3.0 times the groove width of each of the plurality of narrow shallow grooves.

7. The tire according to claim 1 , wherein a distance from an end portion of the land portion to each of the plurality of narrow shallow grooves is not less than 3 mm.

8. The tire according to claim 1 , wherein an angle formed between a groove center line of each of the plurality of narrow shallow grooves and a tire circumferential direction is not less than 45° and not greater than 90°.

9. The tire according to claim 1 , wherein in a cross-sectional shape along a direction orthogonal to an extension direction of each of the plurality of narrow shallow grooves, an angle of a groove wall of each of the plurality of narrow shallow grooves with respect to a tire radial direction is not less than 15° and not greater than 45°.

10. The tire according to claim 1 , wherein

a recess portion region having a depth in a tire radial direction from a ground contact surface of the land portion is provided, and the plurality of narrow shallow grooves are provided in an inner side of the recess portion region.

11. The tire according to claim 1 , wherein

a lug groove extending through the land portion in a tire width direction is provided, and

the plurality of narrow shallow grooves are provided in diagonally opposing regions of a block defined by the main groove and the lug groove, among four regions formed by a midline connecting midpoints at which two opposing sides along the main groove of the block are bisected and a midline connecting midpoints at which two opposing sides along the lug groove of the block are bisected.

12. The tire according to claim 11 , wherein

a longest narrow shallow groove of the plurality of narrow shallow grooves is disposed closer to a side along the lug groove than a shortest narrow shallow groove, and the plurality of narrow shallow grooves are arranged having lengths gradually decreasing from the longest narrow shallow groove to the shortest narrow shallow groove.

13. The tire according to claim 11 , wherein

the narrow shallow grooved region has a substantially triangular shape, and

the block has a polygonal shape having an obtuse corner portion, and

two sides of the substantially triangular shape of the narrow shallow grooved region are provided along two sides forming the obtuse corner portion.

14. The tire according to claim 13 , wherein

the block has other obtuse corner portion at a position opposing a position of the obtuse corner portion, and

two sides of other narrow shallow grooved region having a substantially triangular shape are provided along two sides forming the other obtuse corner portion.

15. The tire according to claim 14 , wherein

the narrow shallow grooved region and the other narrow shallow grooved region differ from each other in area, and

in the block, the narrow shallow grooved region having small area is provided at a position closer to a tire equator line than the narrow shallow grooved region having large area.

16. The tire according to claim 15 , wherein

a ratio of area of the narrow shallow grooved region having the small area to area of the narrow shallow grooved region having the large area is not less than 0.3 and not greater than 0.7.

17. A tire, comprising:

a narrow shallow grooved region on a land portion defined by a main groove;

the narrow shallow grooved region comprising a plurality of narrow shallow grooves that are not open to the main groove,

a ratio S 1 /SC of total area S 1 of the narrow shallow grooved region to ground contact area SC of the land portion being not less than 0.05 and not greater than 0.60,

a recess portion region having a depth in a tire radial direction from a ground contact surface of the land portion being provided, and

the plurality of narrow shallow grooves being provided in an inner side of the recess portion region.
