Abstract
A tire has a sidewall portion provided with a protrusion which includes a radially outer design portion, a mark portion and a radially inner design portion. The radially outer design portion has a radially inward contour portion comprising radially inward peak points protruding radially inward. The radially inner design portion is spaced apart from the mark portion in the tire circumferential direction. The radially inner design portion includes a radially outward contour portion having radially outward peak points protruding outward in the tire radial direction. Each of the radially inward peak points is provided at a different position in the tire radial direction than each of the radially outward peak points.

A tire comprising a sidewall portion having a tire maximum width position and provided with a protrusion protruding outward in a tire axial direction from a reference surface,
- wherein
- the protrusion includes
- a radially outer design portion made up of graphics and located in a radially outer part of the sidewall portion,
- a mark portion made up of letters located on the inner side in the tire radial direction than the radially outer design portion, and
