TIRE FOR MOTORCYCLE

A tire (1) for a motorcycle has a groove portion (10) formed at a tread; and a block-shaped land portion (100) protrusive from the groove portion (10) toward an outside in a tire radial direction (TD). The land portion (100) has a plate-shaped small piece portion (107). Since an area with which the running wind comes into contact increases due to the small piece portion (107), the periphery of the groove portion (10) or the land portion (100) can be effectively thermally radiated. Thus, a temperature of the land portion (100) can be reduced, and even if the automatic motorcycle runs on the hard road surface over a predetermined period of time or more, it is possible to effectively restrain the lowering of required performance such as gripping force, feeling of grounding, and steering stability, which is exerted by the lowering of the rigidity of the land portion.
