Pneumatic tire

1. A pneumatic tire including a shoulder land portion between a main groove extending in a tire circumference direction and a tire ground contact end comprising:

a plurality of first shoulder blocks arranged in the tire circumference direction on the main groove side in the shoulder land portion, and a plurality of second shoulder blocks arranged in the tire circumference direction on the tire ground contact end side in the shoulder land portion, and

a lateral groove which segmentalizes the first shoulder blocks adjacent to each other and forms a recessed portion at a location inside of a tire width direction of the second shoulder block;

wherein the first shoulder blocks and the second shoulder blocks are arranged alternately in the tire circumference direction,

wherein the first shoulder blocks each include a protruding portion,

wherein the protruding portion comprises a top area and two slope areas on both sides of the top area; and the entire top area of the protruding portion is formed in a space between two of the second shoulder blocks arranged in the tire circumference direction,

wherein at least at the time of being grounded, the protruding portion of each of the first shoulder blocks overlaps in the tire circumference direction with the second shoulder blocks on both sides in the tire circumference direction and the first shoulder block overlaps in the tire width direction with the second shoulder blocks on both sides in the tire circumference direction, and

first opposing portions extending linearly in the tire circumferential direction are formed on both sides of the protruding portion of the first shoulder block in the tire circumferential direction,

the second shoulder block includes second opposing portions opposing the first opposing portions of the first shoulder block and extending linearly in the tire circumferential direction, and

second slopes opposing the first slopes of the protruding portion of the first shoulder block and being at a slope of the same angle as the first slopes, and the second slopes are at ends of both sides of the second shoulder block in the tire circumferential direction;

wherein neither narrow groove nor sipe is provided to the first shoulder blocks and the second shoulder blocks.

2. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein a depth of the lateral groove between the first shoulder blocks adjacent to each other in the tire circumference direction and a depth of a lateral groove between the second shoulder blocks adjacent to each other in the tire circumference direction are not smaller than 70% of a depth of the main groove.

3. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein the two slope areas of the protruding portion of the first shoulder block includes a first slope extending at a slope with respect to the tire circumference direction, and the second shoulder block includes a second slope opposing the first slope, and at least at the time of being grounded, the first slope and the second slope overlap with each other in the tire circumference direction.

4. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of first shoulder blocks have the same shape.

5. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of second shoulder blocks have the same shape.

6. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of first shoulder blocks have the same shape and the plurality of second shoulder blocks have the same shape and the shape of the plurality of first shoulder blocks differs from the shape of the plurality of second shoulder blocks.
