DRIVE
September 7, 2023
Provided is a pneumatic tire having a sufficiently suppressed change in handling property and sufficiently improved durability. This pneumatic tire comprises a tread portion including a rubber layer, the rubber layer is formed of a rubber composition having 0.25 or less of a loss tangent (15° C. tanδ) measured under such conditions as 15° C., frequency 10 Hz, initial strain 5%, and dynamic strain rate 1%, the tread portion includes a plurality of rib-like land portions formed by circumferential grooves continuously extending in the circumferential direction, the tread portion has a ground contact surface partitioned, at the equatorial plane, such that one ground contact area Sa and the other ground contact area Sb satisfy a relationship of Sa>Sb, and (formula 1) and (formula 2) are satisfied where Wt (mm) is the cross sectional width of the tire, Dt (mm) is the outer diameter, and V (mm3) is a virtual volume being the volume of a space occupied by the tire when the tire is mounted on a standard rim and the internal pressure is 250 kPa. 1600≤(Dt×ϕ/4)/Wt≤2827.4 (formula 1) [(V+1.5×10)/Wt]≤2.88×10 (formula 2)
