Abstract:
A pneumatic tire includes: two external circumferential main grooves in a vehicle-installed outside half portion; two internal circumferential main grooves in a vehicle-installed inside half portion; a central land portion; an external intermediate land portion; and an internal intermediate land portion. The central land portion is a rib-shaped land portion continuous in the tire circumferential direction. The external intermediate land portion includes external resonators each composed of a first auxiliary groove, a first branch groove, and a second branch groove. The internal intermediate land portion includes internal resonators each composed of a second auxiliary groove, a third branch groove, and a fourth branch groove. The first auxiliary groove is less in groove volume than the second auxiliary groove. A total groove width of the two external circumferential main grooves is less than a total groove width of the two internal circumferential main grooves.
