Abstract:
A sipe is formed in a land portion of a tread surface. The sipe has a 3D sipe portion formed into a three-dimensional shape which changes along a depth direction, and a 2D sipe portion formed into a two-dimensional shape which does not change along the depth direction. The 3D sipe portion extends in the depth direction from the tread surface and terminates at a position which does not reach a sipe bottom. The 2D sipe portion extends in the depth direction from a terminated position of the 3D sipe portion and reaches the sipe bottom. The three-dimensional shape of the 3D sipe portion is formed into a sideways V-shaped form which is bent at one position in the depth direction. Both ends of the sipe are closed within the land portion.
