<p>A pneumatic tire having a tread portion (11), sidewall portions (12) and means (16) for preventing water droplets from being thrown during travelling on a wet road surface, the prevention means (16) being provided on an outer surface (12a) of a sidewall portion (12), having a plurality of projections pieces (17) extending in the circumferential direction of the tire and being circularly arranged on the outer surface of the sidewall portion. The projection pieces are intermittently circularly arranged in at least two rows and placed with offset to each other in the circumferential direction of the tire in such a manner that there is no space between projection pieces of adjacent rows when viewed in the radial direction of the tire. One row of projection pieces being near the tread surface, the other row of projection pieces being remote from the tread surface, the projection pieces of the other row protruding axially more outwardly of the tire than the projection pieces of the one row.</p> |
