A heavy duty pneumatic tire includes a tread portion provided with a zigzag central main groove having zigzag pitches of from 40 to 50. The central main groove includes a bottom and a pair of groove walls. Each groove wall includes a bottom side steep sloped portion and a top side gentle sloped portion. The steep sloped portion includes a height of from 10% to 35% of a depth of the central main groove and an angle of from 0 to 10 degrees with respect to a tire normal line of a tread ground-contact surface. The gentle sloped portion extends radially outwardly from the steep sloped portion. Each groove wall includes an internal corner protruding and an external corner, and the angle of the gentle sloped portion decreases in a range of from 15 to 25 degrees from the internal corner toward the external corner. |
