January 4, 2012
The present invention provides a studdable tire capable of remarkably improving an on-ice performance of a studded tire configured by inserting studs into the studdable tire. One or more circumferential grooves extending in the tread circumferential direction, plural lateral grooves 6 extending in the tread width direction to open into the circumferential grooves are provided on a tread surface 1. A block array defined by the circumferential grooves and the lateral grooves. Holes 13, 15 for inserting studs are arranged in blocks constituting the block array so that the holes within the tire contact area of the tread do not overlap with each other in the tread circumferential direction.
