PNEUMATIC TIRE

A pneumatic tire capable of securing drainability of the main groove while improving rigidity of blocks and improving steering stability wherein an intermediate land area formed on an inner side of a shoulder main groove includes a plurality of intermediate blocks provided to be aligned in a tire circumferential direction, first intermediate lateral grooves provided between the intermediate blocks, and a plurality of first protrusions protruding from side walls of the intermediate blocks facing the shoulder main groove to the inside of the shoulder main groove. The first protrusion includes a first protrusion inclined surface connected to a ground contact surface of the intermediate block, a protruding height of which from a groove bottom of the shoulder main groove becomes smaller as going to a tip end, and at least part of a tip end of the first protrusion overlaps with a shoulder opening in a tire axial direction.
