Abstract
A pneumatic tire in an embodiment is provided with a shoulder land that is a land including a ground contact end. In the pneumatic tire, a circumferential groove which extends in a tire circumferential direction and both ends of which are closed is provided intermittently in the tire circumferential direction in the shoulder land. When a ground contact width of the shoulder land is set as A, the circumferential groove is provided within a range of A/2 on each side in a tire width direction from the ground contact end.
Claims16
A pneumatic tire provided with a shoulder land that is a land including a ground contact end, wherein
- a circumferential groove which extends in a tire circumferential direction and both ends of which are closed is provided intermittently in the tire circumferential direction in the shoulder land, and
- when a ground contact width of the shoulder land is set as A, the circumferential groove is provided in a range of A/2 on each side in a tire width direction from the ground contact end.
A pneumatic tire provided with an inter-main groove land that is a land between two main grooves extending in a tire circumferential direction, wherein
- a circumferential groove which extends in the tire circumferential direction and both ends of which are closed is provided intermittently in the tire circumferential direction in the inter-main groove land, and
- the circumferential groove is provided in half a range on a ground contact end side in a width direction of the inter-main groove land.
A pneumatic tire provided with a center land that is a land including a tire equator, wherein
- a circumferential groove which extends in a tire circumferential direction and both ends of which are closed is provided intermittently in the tire circumferential direction in the center land, and
- the circumferential groove is provided in one-third of a range on a ground contact end side in a width direction of the center land.
