Tire

A tire comprising:

• a pattern region on an outer surface of a sidewall of the tire, the pattern region being visually recognizable as being different from a region other than the pattern region in the outer surface of the tire;
• and
• a plurality of character protrusions separate from each other in the pattern region,
• wherein the character protrusions each imitate a character or a rotated or inverted character, and
• wherein regions, each of which having a shape of a parallelogram circumscribed to a contour of a respective one of the character protrusions and is set to have a minimum area, are defined as character protrusion regions, and
• the character protrusion regions of adjacent ones of the character protrusions partially overlap with each other;
• wherein each character protrusion comprises a language character or a numeral;
• each character protrusion has a longitudinal dimension (D) of 0.5 mm or greater and 1.0 mm or less and a transverse width (W) of 1.5 mm or greater and 2.0 mm or less;
• wherein a ratio of a distance (DO) between center lines of adjacent character protrusions in a longitudinal direction to the longitudinal dimension (D) of the character protrusion is 0.5 or greater and 0.9 or less.
