PNEUMATIC TYRE

A pneumatic tyre includes a tread portion (2) having a first tread edge (To), and a first buttress portion (4A) extending inwardly in a tyre radial direction from the first tread edge (To). The first buttress portion (4A) is provided with a plurality of protectors protruding outwardly in a tyre axial direction. The plurality of protectors (10) includes a set (10A) of protectors including a first protector (11) and a second protector (12) arranged adjacent to the first protector (11) via a groove (13) extending in the tyre radial direction. The groove (13) is provided with a tie-bar (15) connecting the first protector (11) and the second protector (12). The tie-bar (15) is partially formed in a tyre radial region of the groove (13), and the tie-bar (15) has a protruding height that is smaller than a protruding height of the first protector (11) and a protruding height of the second protector (12).
