In a pneumatic tire, regions on an outer side in a radial direction of maximum width positions of outer surfaces of sidewall portions include decorative regions and display regions adjacent to the decorative regions in a circumferential direction, the decorative regions being formed by serration processing to include an array of parallel ridges, the display regions including a portion where a smooth surface without ridges extends in the circumferential direction between end portions of the decorative regions, and being including an indication formed by combining constituent units each depicting an alphanumeric, a pattern, or a symbol, a valley formed between adjacent ridges in the decorative regions being recessed relative to the smooth surface, and the display regions in one of the sidewall portions on one side and in another one of the sidewall portions on the other side being arranged at positions shifted from each other in the circumferential direction.
