Patent ID: 8215352

Claim:
A pneumatic tire comprising: a tread that has a plurality of circumferential main grooves each extending in a tire circumferential direction and a plurality of land portions formed by the circumferential main grooves, the land portions including an outermost land portion formed on an outermost side in a tire width direction; a wide cross belt that has a width in the tire width direction not smaller than 92% and not larger than 100% of a width of the tread; a narrow cross belt that has a width in the tire width direction smaller than the width of the wide cross belt in the tire width direction, and that has a tire width direction outer end positioned on a tire width direction outer side with respect to an edge of the outermost land portion on a tire width direction inner side; and a carcass on which the wide cross belt and the narrow cross belt are formed on a tire radial direction outer side with respect to the carcass such that a cord of the wide cross belt and a cord of the narrow cross belt are oppositely oblique to the tire circumferential direction, wherein the tread has a plurality of first open sipes that are formed along the tire circumferential direction such that each of the first open sipes penetrates through the outermost land portion in the tire width direction; and a plurality of lug grooves that extend along the first open sipes on a contact surface of the outermost land portion, each of the lug grooves having a tire width direction outer end positioned between a tire width direction outer end of the wide cross belt and the tire width direction outer end of the narrow cross belt, wherein a depth d 2 of the first open sipe from the contact surface of the outermost land portion is larger than a depth of the lug groove from the contact surface of the outermost land portion, and the depth d 2 and a depth D of the circumferential main groove satisfy 0.2≦d 2 /D ≦0.5.
