Pneumatic tire

Abstract

A pneumatic tire includes a tread portion having a first tread edge, and a first buttress portion extending inwardly in a tire radial direction from the first tread edge. The first buttress portion is provided with a plurality of protectors protruding outwardly in a tire axial direction. Each of the plurality of protectors includes a top surface facing outwardly in the tire axial direction, and a side surface extending inwardly in the tire axial direction from an edge of the top surface. The side surface includes an outward-facing portion facing outwardly in the tire radial direction, an inward-facing portion facing inwardly in the tire radial direction, and a circumferential portion facing in a tire circumferential direction. The outward-facing portion, the inward-facing portion and the circumferential portion have different angles with respect to respective normal lines of the top surface from each other.
