DRIVE
April 1, 2015
A tread pattern of a pneumatic tire includes: first inclined grooves having positions located separated from a center line as starting ends and extending in a first direction of the tire circumferential direction as well as at an inclination towards the outer side in the tire width direction; first lug grooves extending from respective ends on the outer side in the tire width direction of the first inclined grooves in the first direction of the tire circumferential direction as well as at an inclination towards the outer side in the tire width direction as far as ground contact edges, and having an angle formed with the tire width direction smaller than an angle formed with tire width direction of the first inclined grooves; second inclined grooves extending from the respective ends on the outer side in the tire width direction of the first inclined grooves in the first direction of the tire circumferential direction as well as at an inclination to the inner side in the tire width direction; and third inclined grooves extending from respective intermediate points on the first lug grooves in the first direction of the tire circumferential direction as well as at an inclination towards the outer side in the tire width direction, and having an angle formed with the tire width direction larger than the angle formed with the tire width direction of the first lug grooves. Each third inclined groove is closed without reaching another first lug groove located adjacent to the first lug groove in the first direction.
