• the plurality of the protruding portions is arranged in a tyre circumferential direction with a space between each other,
• a tread width of the tyre is a distance between tread edges in the tyre axial direction and is a maximum width of the tyre,
• a length in the tyre circumferential direction of each space is less than 10% of a maximum length of a foot print when the tyre is mounted on a standard rim, inflated to a standard inner pressure, and in contact with a flat surface with a camber angle of 45 degrees by being loaded with a standard tyre load,
• each of the protruding portions has a rib shape elongated in the tyre circumferential direction, is formed over the entire distance between the spaces adjacent to each other, and has a circumferential length longer than each space;
• and
