<p>A pneumatic tire capable of improving drainage performance and noise-reduction. The pneumatic tire comprises a tread portion being provided with central longitudinal grooves 3a, shoulder longitudinal grooves 3b, and intermediate land portions 4a each defined between the central longitudinal groove 3a and said shoulder longitudinal groove 3b. The intermediate land portion 4a is provided with a thin groove 5 extending the tire at a position away axially inside from the shoulder longitudinal groove 3b, intermediate slant grooves 6 each extending from the thin groove 5 toward said central longitudinal groove 3a while inclining terminating without being connected to the central longitudinal groove 3a, and connection grooves 7 each extending so as to connect between the adjacent intermediate slant grooves 6 in the circumferential direction of the tire. Each of the connection groove 7 inclines in the same direction as the intermediate slant groove 6 at an angle smaller than that of the intermediate slant groove 6.</p> |
