Abstract

A pneumatic tire includes a first land portion that is provided on a sidewall portion, projects to an outer side in a tire width direction, and extends in a tire circumferential direction over the entire tire circumferential direction, and a plurality of second land portions that are provided in a central portion in a tire radial direction of the first land portion, project to an outer side in the tire width direction, extend in the tire circumferential direction, and are disposed apart from each other in the tire circumferential direction.

Claims (16)

1. A pneumatic tire comprising:

a first land portion that is provided on a sidewall portion, projects to an outer side in a tire width direction, and extends in a tire circumferential direction over the entire tire circumferential direction;

a plurality of second land portions that are provided in a central portion in a tire radial direction of the first land portion, project to an outer side in the tire width direction, extend in the tire circumferential direction, are dispersedly disposed in the entire circumferential direction so as to be separated in the tire circumferential direction, and are formed in the same shape; and

a connecting portion that protrudes to an outer side in the tire width direction from the first land portion and extends in the tire circumferential direction to connect two of the second land portions adjacent to each other in the tire circumferential direction,

wherein the central portion is defined by an outer end portion of each of the second land portions in the tire radial direction and an inner end portion of each of the second land portions in the tire radial direction being respectively away from an outer end portion and an inner end portion of the first land portion in the tire radial direction.

2. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein the first land portion is disposed in a range of 50% or less of a tire cross-sectional height from an outermost diameter end position of a tire tread surface to an inner side in the tire radial direction.

3. The pneumatic tire according to claim 2 , wherein a tire radial dimension of the first land portion is 20% or more and 40% or less of the tire cross-sectional height.

4. The pneumatic tire according to claim 2 , wherein a ratio of a tire radial dimension of each of the second land portions to the tire radial dimension of the first land portion is 50% or more and 80% or less.

5. The pneumatic tire according to claim 2 , wherein a ratio of a projection height of each of the second land portions to a projection height of the first land portion is 100% or more and 400% or less.

6. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein a tire radial dimension of the first land portion is 20% or more and 40% or less of the tire cross-sectional height.

7. The pneumatic tire according to claim 6 , wherein a ratio of a tire radial dimension of each of the second land portions to the tire radial dimension of the first land portion is 50% or more and 80% or less.

8. The pneumatic tire according to claim 6 , wherein a ratio of a projection height of each of the second land portions to a projection height of the first land portion is 100% or more and 400% or less.

9. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein a ratio of a tire radial dimension of each of the second land portions to the tire radial dimension of the first land portion is 50% or more and 80% or less.

10. The pneumatic tire according to claim 9 , wherein a ratio of a projection height of each of the second land portions to a projection height of the first land portion is 100% or more and 400% or less.

11. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein a ratio of a projection height of each of the second land portions to a projection height of the first land portion is 100% or more and 400% or less.

12. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 wherein the connecting portion has a projection height which is the same as the projection height of the second land portion.
