A center rib and a second rib are formed at a tread surface of a pneumatic tire along an outer contour line L1 of a radius R1 whose center is at a tire inner side. A shoulder rib is formed at the tread surface along an outer contour line L2 of a radius R2 whose center is at a tire inner side. A step between the outer contour line L1 and a ground contact surface of the shoulder rib decreases toward a tire transverse direction outer end portion. Accordingly, when a heavy load is applied to the pneumatic tire, due to the step between, on the one hand, the shoulder rib, and on the other hand, the center rib and the second rib, uneven wear at the second rib can be suppressed. When a light load is applied, because the step decreases toward the tire transverse direction outer end portion, uneven wear of the shoulder rib can be suppressed. The pneumatic tire exhibits excellent uneven wear resistance at all land portions formed on the pneumatic tire. <IMAGE> |
