A pneumatic tyre includes a tread portion having a first tread edge, and a first buttress portion (4A) extending inwardly in a tyre radial direction from the first tread edge. The first buttress portion is provided with a plurality of protectors (10) protruding outwardly in a tyre axial direction. Each of the plurality of protectors (10) includes a top surface (11) facing outwardly in the tyre axial direction, and a side surface extending inwardly in the tyre axial direction from an edge of the top surface (11). The side surface includes an outward-facing portion (15) facing outwardly in the tyre radial direction, an inward-facing portion (16) facing inwardly in the tyre radial direction, and a circumferential portion (17) facing in a tyre circumferential direction. The outward-facing portion (15), the inward-facing portion (16) and the circumferential portion (17) have different angles with respect to respective normal lines of the top surface (11) from each other.
