Tire

A tire for which how the tire is to be oriented when mounted to a vehicle is specified, the tire comprising a tread portion, wherein

• the tread portion has
• an outer tread edge located at an outer side of the vehicle when the tire is mounted on the vehicle,
• an inner tread edge located at an inner side of the vehicle when the tire is mounted on the vehicle,
• a first crown main groove extending continuously in a tire circumferential direction between the outer tread edge and a tire equator,
• a second crown main groove extending continuously in the tire circumferential direction at the inner tread edge side with respect to the first crown main groove, and
• three land portions demarcated by the first crown main groove and the second crown main groove,
• the land portions include an outer shoulder land portion demarcated between the outer tread edge and the first crown main groove, and an inner shoulder land portion demarcated between the inner tread edge and the second crown main groove,
• the outer shoulder land portion has a largest width in a tire axial direction among the three land portions,
• the outer shoulder land portion has an outer shoulder lateral groove that extends from the outer tread edge and that terminates within the outer shoulder land portion, and an outer shoulder sipe that extends from the first crown main groove and that terminates within the outer shoulder land portion, and
• the outer shoulder sipe has a maximum depth portion having a maximum depth, and a shallow portion contiguous with the maximum depth portion and separated from the maximum depth portion by a step, the shallow portion having a depth 0.60 to 0.75 times the depth of the maximum depth portion,
• the outer shoulder lateral groove has a terminal end within the outer shoulder land portion,
• a length in the tire axial direction of the shallow portion of the outer shoulder sipe is larger than a distance in the tire axial direction from a groove edge of the first crown main groove to the terminal end of the outer shoulder lateral groove,
• the inner shoulder land portion has a longitudinal narrow groove having a width smaller than that of the first crown main groove and the second crown main groove, an inner shoulder lateral groove that extends from the inner tread edge, crosses the longitudinal narrow groove, and terminates within the inner shoulder land portion, and an inner shoulder sipe that extends from the second crown main groove to the inner tread edge.

• the outer shoulder sipe has a maximum depth portion having a maximum depth, and a shallow portion contiguous with the maximum depth portion, the shallow portion having a depth smaller than the depth of the maximum depth portion;
• the shallow portion is disposed only at an end portion of the outer shoulder sipe at the inner side in the tire axial direction;
• the outer shoulder lateral groove has a terminal end within the outer shoulder land portion,
• a length in the tire axial direction of the shallow portion of the outer shoulder sipe is larger than a distance in the tire axial direction from a groove edge of the first crown main groove to the terminal end of the outer shoulder lateral groove,
• the inner shoulder land portion has a longitudinal narrow groove, an inner shoulder lateral groove that extends from the inner tread edge, crosses the longitudinal narrow groove, and terminates within the inner shoulder land portion, and an inner shoulder sipe that extends from the second crown main groove to the inner tread edge, and
• the longitudinal narrow groove has a groove width 0.20 to 0.30 times a groove width of the first crown main groove and the second crown main groove.
