Abstract:
A pneumatic tire includes plural land portions that are provided at a tread and that are partitioned by plural circumferential direction grooves that extend along a tire circumferential direction. A lug groove is provided at at least one land portion among the plural land portions and crosses the land portion in a tire width direction. A fine groove is provided at a groove bottom portion of the lug groove, has a narrower groove width than the lug groove, and has a groove bottom face formed with a circular arc shaped profile when viewed in cross-section at right angles to a groove length direction. A coupling curved face joins the groove bottom face and a groove side face at a length direction end portion of the fine groove, to a groove side face of the circumferential direction grooves.
