A pneumatic tire comprising a tread in which an insertion hole into which a stud pin is inserted is formed, wherein the tread includes a plurality of main grooves continuously extending along a tire circumferential direction, and is divided into a shoulder area located on an outer side in a tire axial direction and a center area located on an inner side in the tire axial direction relative to a groove width center of a shoulder main groove located on an outermost side in the tire axial direction among the plurality of main grooves, and when an area of 28 % of a ground contact width centered on a tire equator in the center area is defined as an equatorial area, and an area between the equatorial area and the shoulder main groove is defined as an equatorial neighboring area, the insertion hole formed in the equatorial neighboring area located on one side in the tire axial direction and the insertion hole formed in the equatorial neighboring area located on an other side in the tire axial direction are arranged in a staggered manner along the tire circumferential direction, where: the ground contact width corresponds to a distance in the tire axial direction between a pair of ground contact ends; the ground contact end corresponds to an outermost position of a ground contact surface in the tire axial direction in a case where the tire mounted on a normal rim and inflated to a normal internal pressure is placed perpendicularly to a flat road surface, and a normal load is applied to the tire; the normal rim is a "standard rim" in JATMA standard, a "Design Rim" in TRA standard, or a "Measuring Rim" in ETRTO standard; the normal internal pressure corresponds to a "maximum pneumatic pressure" in JATMA standard, a "maximum value" described in "TIRE LOAD LIMITS AT VARIOUS COLD INFLATION PRESSURES" in TRA standard, or "INFLATION PRESSURE" in ETRTO standard; the normal load is the maximum load capacity in the case of JATMA, the maximum value described in the above table in the case of TRA, and "LOAD CAPACITY" in the case of ETRTO, and when the tire is for a passenger car, the normal load is 88 % of the above-described load, characterised in that no main groove is provided in the equatorial area. wherein the tread includes a plurality of main grooves continuously extending along a tire circumferential direction, and is divided into a shoulder area located on an outer side in a tire axial direction and a center area located on an inner side in the tire axial direction relative to a groove width center of a shoulder main groove located on an outermost side in the tire axial direction among the plurality of main grooves, and when an area of 28 % of a ground contact width centered on a tire equator in the center area is defined as an equatorial area, and an area between the equatorial area and the shoulder main groove is defined as an equatorial neighboring area, the insertion hole formed in the equatorial neighboring area located on one side in the tire axial direction and the insertion hole formed in the equatorial neighboring area located on an other side in the tire axial direction are arranged in a staggered manner along the tire circumferential direction, where: the ground contact width corresponds to a distance in the tire axial direction between a pair of ground contact ends;
