Provided is a stud pin fitted into a pneumatic tire that maintains the performance on ice of the pneumatic tire and that does not easily fall out. Also provided is a pneumatic tire fitted with the stud pin. The stud pin fitted into a tread portion of a pneumatic tire comprises a buried base portion extending in a direction, the buried base portion securing the stud pin in the tread portion by being pressed by a side surface of the stud pin installation hole upon the stud pin being embedded in the stud pin installation hole, and a tip portion connected to an end portion of the buried base portion in the extending direction, the tip portion protruding past the tread portion and coming into contact with a road surface upon the buried base portion being embedded in the stud pin installation hole. The tip portion comprises a tip end surface perpendicular to the extending direction of the buried base portion, and a connection portion of the tip portion with the buried base portion has a cross-sectional area in a plane orthogonal to the extending direction of the buried base portion greater than an area of the tip end surface. The stud pin is fitted into the tread portion of the pneumatic tire. |
