A tread portion has a circumferential groove extending continuously and circumferentially. The circumferential groove has a groove bottom and a pair of groove walls radially extending from the groove bottom to a tread surface. The groove bottom includes groove bottom protruding portions protruding radially outwardly from a groove bottom reference surface parallel to the tread surface at a deepest position of a groove depth of the circumferential groove. Each of the groove bottom protruding portions is formed to be symmetrical about a center line of the circumferential groove in a plan view of the tread portion and has a first groove bottom surface extending radially. The first groove bottom surface includes a first surface portion on one side of the center line and a second surface portion on the other side. An angle between the first surface portion and the second surface portion is from 20° to 170°.
