Tire

A tire comprising:

• a tread portion provided with circumferential grooves extending continuously in a tire circumferential direction and comprising land portions divided by the circumferential grooves, wherein
• the land portions are provided with a set of lateral groove-shaped elements, each inclined with respect to the tire circumferential direction and a tire axial direction, and each having a first end in the tire circumferential direction located on a first side in the tire circumferential direction, and a second end in the tire circumferential direction located on a second side in the tire circumferential direction opposite to the first side,
• the set of lateral groove-shaped elements is arranged in a first array over an entire circumference of the tire,
• the first array is such that, in each of all pairs of two lateral groove-shaped elements adjacent to each other in the tire circumferential direction, of the lateral groove-shaped elements, the first end of one of said two lateral groove-shaped elements is located at a same position in the tire circumferential direction as the second end of the other one of said two lateral groove-shaped elements,
• in at least one of the all pairs of two lateral groove-shaped elements,
• one of said two lateral groove-shaped elements, as a first lateral groove-shaped element, is provided on one of two land portions of the land portions, and inclined in a first direction with respect to the tire circumferential direction, and
• the other one of said two lateral groove-shaped elements, as a second lateral groove-shaped element, is provided on the other one of said two land portions of the land portions, and inclined in a second direction with respect to the tire circumferential direction which is different from the first direction,
• the first lateral groove-shaped element (7) comprises a first inclined linear portion (71) and a second inclined linear portion (72) connected with each other forming a first bent portion therebetween,
• the second lateral groove-shaped element (8) comprises a third inclined linear portion (83), an in-between fourth inclined linear portion (84) and a fifth inclined linear portion (85),
• the third inclined linear portion and the fourth inclined linear portion are connected with each other forming a second bent portion therebetween, and
• the fourth inclined linear portion and the fifth inclined linear portion are connected with each other forming a third bent portion therebetween.
