Abstract:
1. A pneumatic tire comprising, on a tread surface, one central main groove extending in a tire circumferential direction at a pattern center and a pair of outer main grooves extending in the tire circumferential direction each at a position between the central main groove and a respective tread end, the central main groove and the outer main grooves defining central land portions, and the outer main grooves and the respective tread ends defining outer land portions, wherein among the central land portions and the outer land portions, a first circumferential narrow groove is provided only in the each of the central land portions, extending in the tire circumferential direction, having a narrower opening width and a shallower groove depth than those of the central main groove, and having a first groove wall on the outer main groove side and a second groove wall on the central main groove side such that an intersection angle between the tread surface and the first groove wall is larger than an intersection angle between the tread surface and the second groove wall, both of the first groove wall and the second groove wall of the first circumferential narrow groove extend linearly in the tire circumferential direction, a chamfered cutout portion is provided at an opening edge of the first groove wall, the intersection angle between the tread surface and the chamfered cutout portion is within a range of 120° to 150°, and a chamfered cutout portion is not provided at an opening edge of the second groove wall, and the intersection angle between the tread surface and the second groove wall is equal to or less than 95°.
