Claim 0:
1. A pneumatic tire comprising a sidewall region that extends in a tire radial direction wherein:
the sidewall region comprises a plurality of side blocks which are arrayed in a tire circumferential direction, and an annular projection which extends in the tire circumferential direction and which protrudes in a tire width direction;
the plurality of side blocks include a first side block and a second side block that are adjacent in the tire circumferential direction;
the first side block comprises a first outer portion which is arranged toward the exterior in the tire radial direction from the annular projection, and a first inner portion which is arranged toward the interior in the tire radial direction from the annular projection;
the second side block comprises a second outer portion which is arranged toward the exterior in the tire radial direction from the annular projection, and a second inner portion which is arranged toward the interior in the tire radial direction from the annular projection;
a location at which distance in the tire circumferential direction between the first inner portion and the second inner portion is a minimum is toward the interior in the tire radial direction from centers in the tire radial direction of first inner portion and second inner portion;
as viewed in the tire circumferential direction, a maximum value of an amount by which the first inner portion protrudes toward the exterior in the tire width direction beyond the second inner portion is greater than a maximum value of an amount by which the second inner portion protrudes toward the exterior in the tire width direction beyond the first inner portion;
as viewed in the tire circumferential direction, a maximum value of an amount by which the second outer portion protrudes toward the exterior in the tire width direction beyond the first outer portion is greater than a maximum value of an amount by which the first outer portion protrudes toward the exterior in the tire width direction beyond the second outer portion; and
a maximum value of an amount by which the second outer portion is recessed relative to a profile surface is greater than a maximum value of an amount by which the first inner portion protrudes relative to the profile surface.
