Pneumatic Tire

A pneumatic tire comprising:

• V-shaped crossing grooves having a V-shape projecting in a tire circumferential direction that cross a tread portion in a tire width direction and open to left and right tread edge portions, the V-shaped crossing grooves being arranged at predetermined intervals in the tire circumferential direction with an orientation of the V-shape aligned;
• lateral communication grooves disposed between a pair of the V-shaped crossing grooves adjacent in the tire circumferential direction and extending from one of the tread edge portions toward a tire equatorial plane in a tread portion shoulder region, each of the lateral communication grooves communicating with the V-shaped crossing groove located to a projecting side of the V-shape of the pair of V-shaped crossing grooves and not communicating with the other V-shaped crossing groove of the pair in a tread portion center region;
• and
• circumferential grooves disposed in the tread portion shoulder region extending in the tire circumferential direction, the circumferential grooves communicating with the V-shaped crossing grooves and the lateral communication grooves.
