In a tread pattern of a pneumatic tire (1) for use in high-speed, high performance vehicles, a plurality of main slant grooves (6) are arranged in the tread at a given interval in the circumferential direction of the tire and oppositely extend from positions separated by a given distance from an equatorial plane (O) of the tire at both sides thereof in a central region (Tc) of the tread toward both side ends (E) of the main tread portion (4a) at a given inclination angle with respect to the equatorial plane in a V-shaped configuration. In this case, each of the main slant grooves (6) extends in the central region (Tc) from the vicinity of the equatorial plane (O) toward a middle portion of the adjoining main slant groove in the circumferential direction in a convex arc-shaped configuration to the equatorial plane to open to the adjoining main slant groove, and an auxiliary groove (10) having a width narrower than that of the main slant groove (6) is arranged in each side region (Ts) of the main tread portion (4a) so as to communicate the main slant grooves arranged in a row in the circumferential direction of the tire to each other. In this tread pattern, a negative ratio of a ground contact portion of the tread is gradually decreased from the central region (Tc) toward the side end (E) of the tread.
