Pneumatic tire

A pneumatic tire comprising a tread portion and a pair of sidewall portions each extending inward in a tire radial direction from the tread portion, wherein

• at least one of the pair of the sidewall portions is provided with side protectors protruding outward in a tire axial direction and arranged in a tire circumferential direction,
• each of the side protectors is provided with a groove,
• the groove includes a first inclined groove portion inclined to a first side with respect to the tire radial direction, or a second inclined groove portion inclined to a second side opposite to the first side with respect to the tire radial direction,
• the side protectors include first protectors each provided with the first inclined groove portion, and second protectors each provided with the second inclined groove portion,
• in a tire meridian section passing through a tire rotational axis,
• each of the side protectors has an outer surface including an outer surface portion, an inner surface portion, and an angle changing surface portion,
• the outer surface portion extends at a first angle with respect to the tire axial direction,
• the inner surface portion is arranged radially inside the outer surface portion and extends at a second angle different from the first angle, and
• the angle changing surface portion connects the outer surface portion and the inner surface portion, and has an angle changing between them with respect to the tire radial direction,
• wherein the first angle is 60 degrees or more and 80 degrees or less, and the second angle is 85 degrees or more and 100 degrees or less.
