PNEUMATIC TIRE

摘要

In this pneumatic tire, width direction sipes (9) on one side in the tread circumferential direction are shifted in position in a central land portion row (3a) and intermediate land portion rows (3b1, 3b2), first and second width direction grooves (4a, 4b) and the width direction sipes (9) on the one side are shifted in position in the tread circumferential direction in the central land portion row (3a), minute blocks (9a) in the central land portion row (3a) are aligned in position in the tread circumferential direction with minute blocks (9a) or third width direction grooves (4c1, 4c2) in the intermediate land portion rows (3b1, 3b2), and fifth width direction grooves (10a, 10b) and width direction shallow grooves (11a, 11b) are aligned in position in the tread circumferential direction with fourth width direction grooves (4d1, 4d2) or minute blocks (9a) in the intermediate land portion rows (3b1, 3b2).

1. A pneumatic tire comprising:
on a tread surface, a plurality of circumferential main grooves extending in a tread circumferential direction and a plurality of land portion rows defined by the circumferential main grooves and tread edges; wherein the land portion rows include one central land portion row positioned on a tire equatorial plane, two width direction outermost land portion rows respectively adjacent to the tread edges, and two intermediate land portion rows positioned between the central land portion row and the two width direction outermost land portion rows; in the central land portion row, a plurality of first width direction grooves are provided at intervals in the tread circumferential direction and a plurality of second width direction grooves are provided at intervals in the tread circumferential direction, each first width direction groove extending in a tread width direction, opening to a first one of the circumferential main grooves that is adjacent to the central land portion row on one side in the tread width direction, and terminating in the central land portion row, and each second width direction groove extending in the tread width direction, opening to a second one of the circumferential main grooves that is adjacent to the central land portion row on another side in the tread width direction, and terminating in the central land portion row; in each intermediate land portion row, a plurality of third width direction grooves are provided at intervals in the tread circumferential direction and a plurality of fourth width direction grooves are provided at intervals in the tread circumferential direction, each third width direction groove extending in the tread width direction, opening to the first one or the second one of the circumferential main grooves, and terminating in the intermediate land portion row, and each fourth width direction groove extending in the tread width direction, opening to one of the circumferential main grooves adjacent to one of the width direction outermost land portion rows, and terminating in the intermediate land portion row; in the central land portion row, a plurality of communication narrow grooves connecting the first width direction grooves and the second width direction grooves are provided at intervals in the tread circumferential direction, and in the intermediate land portion rows, a plurality of communication narrow grooves connecting the third width direction grooves and the fourth width direction grooves are provided at intervals in the tread circumferential direction; the central land portion row and the intermediate land portion rows are defined into a plurality of large blocks by the circumferential main grooves, the first width direction grooves, the second width direction grooves, the third width direction grooves, the fourth width direction grooves, and the communication narrow grooves, a circumferential narrow groove that extends in the tread circumferential direction and divides each large block in the tread width direction into two small blocks is formed in each large block, and at least one pair of width direction sipes extending in the tread width direction is formed in each small block; the width direction outermost land portion rows include a plurality of fifth width direction grooves extending in the tread width direction at intervals in the tread circumferential direction and at least two width direction shallow grooves extending in the tread width direction between the fifth width direction grooves; in the central land portion row and the intermediate land portion rows, one width direction sipe on one side in the tread circumferential direction in the pair of width direction sipes formed in one of the two small blocks is shifted in position in the tread circumferential direction from one width direction sipe on one side in the tread circumferential direction in the pair of width direction sipes formed in another of the two small blocks; in the central land portion row, the first width direction groove and one width direction sipe on one side in the tread circumferential direction in the pair of width direction sipes in the small block adjacent in the tread width direction to the first width direction groove are shifted in position in the tread circumferential direction, and the second width direction groove and one width direction sipe on one side in the tread circumferential direction in the pair of width direction sipes in the small block adjacent in the tread width direction to the second width direction groove are shifted in position in the tread circumferential direction; with respect to the intermediate land portion row and the small block of the central land portion row that are adjacent with the circumferential main groove therebetween, a minute block defined by the pair of width direction sipes in the small block of the central land portion row is aligned in position in the tread circumferential direction with any one of the third width direction grooves and a minute block defined by the pair of width direction sipes in the small blocks of the intermediate land portion row; and each of the fifth width direction grooves and the width direction shallow grooves in the width direction outermost land portion rows is aligned in position in the tread circumferential direction with any one of the fourth width direction grooves or the minute block defined by the pair of width direction sipes in the intermediate land portion rows.
