DRIVE
January 28, 2026
A tire (10, 10A, 10B, 10C, 10D, 10E) includes a block group (31, 32, 33) delimited by a pair of circumferential grooves (41, 42, 43, 44) extending in a tire circumferential direction (TC). The block group includes a plurality of blocks (100, 200, 300) delimited by a plurality of lateral grooves (61, 62, 63) extending in the tire width direction (WD). Each block of the plurality of block group (31, 32, 33) is partitioned into a plurality of small blocks (101, 201, 301, 101A, 201A, 301A, 101B, 201B, 301B, 101C, 201C, 301C, 101D, 301E) by a circumferential sipe (120, 220, 320) and a plurality of lateral sipes (130, 230, 330). In each block, the circumferential sipe extends in a zigzag shape, and at least an outermost lateral sipes of the plurality of lateral sipes in the tire circumferential direction (TC) extend in parallel with each other.
