The first shoulder block 3 includes a first tread surface 5 extending inward from a first tread end T1 in the tire axial direction, a first side surface 6 extending inward from the first tread end T1 in the tire radial direction, and a second tread surface 7 extending outward from the first side surface 6 in the tire axial direction. The second tread surface 7 extends at an angle θ of 10° or less relative to a contact line 5n extending in contact with the first tread surface 5 through the first tread end T1. At least one groove 8 is disposed in the second tread surface 7.
