Provided is a pneumatic tire capable of providing improved steering stability performance on dry road surfaces and improved steering stability performance on wet road surfaces in a compatible manner. A chamfered portion (12A, 12B) and a non-chamfered portion (13A, 13B) are provided in each of an edge (11A) on a leading side and an edge (11B) on a trailing side of a sipe (11). In a meridian cross-sectional view, a profile line (PL1) of a rib (10) projects further to an outer side in a tire radial direction than a reference tread profile line (PL0). A radius of curvature TR (mm) of the reference tread profile line (PL0) and a radius of curvature RR (mm) of the profile line (PL1) satisfy a relationship of TR>RR. Only one of the chamfered portions (12A, 12B) on the leading side and the trailing side is disposed so as to straddle a maximum projection position (P). A maximum projection amount D (mm) of the rib (10) with respect to the reference tread profile line (PL0) and a maximum width (W) (mm) of the chamfered portion (12A, 12B) satisfy a relationship of 0.05 mm2<W×D<1.50 mm2.
