Abstract:
A pneumatic tire comprising a tread surface having a plurality of grooves extending along a circumferential direction of the pneumatic tire, wherein the grooves define a plurality of land portions, said land portions including:a first land portion, which, among the plurality of land portions, is formed the furthest toward a tire transverse direction outer side; and a second land portion formed adjacent to said first land portion in a tire transverse direction, wherein the tread surface at a transverse direction cross-section of the first land portion is arcuate and convex given that a distance, along a tire radial direction, from an imaginary extension line of a tire transverse direction outer contour line along a ground contact surface at said second land portion to a tire transverse direction inner side end portion of said first land portion is H1, that a distance, along a tire radial direction, from an imaginary extension line of a tire transverse direction outer contour line along a ground contact surface at said second land portion to a tire transverse direction outer side end portion of said first land portion is H2, and that a direction radially toward a tire center is positive, the relationship H1>H2 and the relationship H1>0 and H2>0 are both established.
