Disclosed is a pneumatic tire provided with multiple blocks 6 on a tread 1. A sipe 7 provided on the block 6 is formed by shifting pitches of a zigzag shape 7a on a tread face 1a side of the sipe and a zigzag shape 7b on a bottom side thereof in the width direction of the tire, and by connecting concave and convex flexion points a, a′, b and b′ on the both of the zigzag shapes with edge lines x1, x2 and x3. The block 6 is sectioned by the sipe 7 into a concavo-convex face A in which convex triangular pyramids Aa and convex reverse triangular pyramids Ab are alternately arranged, and a concavo-convex face B in which concave triangular pyramids Ba and concave reverse triangular pyramids Bb are alternately arranged. The concavo-convex faces A sectioned by the sipes are at least disposed in both outermost positions in the circumferential direction of the block in a manner that the concavo-convex faces A are oriented outward from the block.
A pneumatic tire including multiple blocks formed on a tread face by a plurality of main grooves extending in a circumferential direction of the tire and by a plurality of sub grooves intersecting the main grooves, in which zigzag sipes extending in a width direction of the tire are provided on surfaces of the blocks,
