In order to provide the durability of sipe blades and the performance on ice and snow in a compatible manner, a pneumatic tire (1) includes a plurality of sipes (20) disposed in a land portion (15) formed in a tread portion (2), and a plurality of pin holes (30) for stud pins disposed in the land portion (15). The sipes (20), among the plurality of sipes (20), are disposed at positions where a distance Ds from the pin hole (30) and a diameter Dp of the pin hole (30) satisfy a relationship of (Ds/Dp) ≥ 4.0. The sipe (20) in which the distance Ds from the pin hole (30) and the diameter Dp of the pin hole (30) satisfy a relationship of (Ds/Dp) ≤ 5.0 is defined as a pin hole neighboring sipe (21). The sipe (20) of which the distance Ds from the pin hole (30) is the smallest, among the sipes (20) in which the distance Ds from the pin hole (30) and the diameter Dp of the pin hole (30) satisfy a relationship of (Ds/Dp) > 5.0, is defined as a normal sipe (22). In this case, the pin hole neighboring sipe (21) is formed in a high rigidity shape having higher rigidity than the normal sipe (22).
