Provided that of the area in which the sipe extend, two areas covering 1/6 of the extension length of the sipe from both ends of the sipe are end regions; two areas covering 1/6 of the extension length of the sipe that are adjacent to the two end regions are intermediate regions, and an area covering 1/3 of the extension length of the sipe which is sandwiched between the two intermediate regions is a center region. The sipe has at least one bent portion extending continuously in the extending direction of the sipe from one of the end regions of the sipe in the depth direction of the sipe. The at least one bent portion is located on the outer side in the tire radial direction of the end regions than in the center region.
