A pneumatic tire having a directional tread pattern of a designated rotating direction comprises at least one circumferential main groove at a central region of a tread portion, a circumferential sub-groove at each of side regions of the tread portion, a plurality of slant grooves extending in the shape of an unfolded fan and opening at the end of the tread portion, and blocks defined by these grooves, in which a central block located nearest to an equatorial plane of the tire has such a headland part that a corner part facing to the sub-groove at a leading end side in the rotation of the tire taperingly projects into a joint part between the sub-groove and the slant groove, and the headland part has a surface form that a height from a groove bottom of the joint part and a length in the circumferential direction gradually decrease toward the end of the tread portion.
