Abstract
A pneumatic tire includes a longitudinal ridge extending along the tire radial direction and projecting outward from the surface of the tire side portion toward an outside of a tire width direction. A plurality of longitudinal ridges are provided along the tire circumferential direction, and a tire radial direction inner end of the longitudinal ridge is located outside the tire radial direction than the maximum width position. The tire radial direction outer end of the longitudinal ridge is located outside the tire radial direction than a straight line L2 orthogonal to a straight line L1.
Claims11
A tire including a tread contacting the road surface and a tire side portion continuous to the tread and positioned inside a tire radial direction of the tread, comprising:
- a belt layer provided inside the tire radial direction of the tread;
- a carcass provided inside a tire radial direction of the belt layer, wherein
- a longitudinal protrusion portion extending along the tire radial direction and projecting outward from a surface of the tire side portion toward an outside of a tire width direction;
- a plurality of the longitudinal protrusion portions are provided along a tire circumferential direction;
- a tire radial direction inner end of the longitudinal protrusion portion is located outside the tire width direction than a maximum width position of the tire side portion in the tire width direction;
- a tire radial direction outer end of the longitudinal protrusion portion passes through a tire width direction outer end of the belt layer and is positioned outside the tire radial direction than a second straight line orthogonal to a first straight line parallel to the tire radial direction, and
- the second straight line is orthogonal to the first straight line at a position where the first straight line contacts a tire radial direction outer end of the carcass.
