Abstract:
A pneumatic tire is provided in which each of sipes has a leading-side edge and a trailing-side edge. A chamfered portion that is shorter than a sipe length of the sipe is formed on each of the leading-side edge and the trailing-side edge. The sipe includes, at sections facing the chamfered portions, non-chamfered regions in which other chamfered portions are not present. Both end portions of the sipe are terminated inside a rib. A maximum depth x (mm) of the sipe 11 and a maximum depth y (mm) of the chamfered portion 12 satisfy a relationship x×0.1≤y≤x×0.3+1.0. A sipe width of the sipe is constant in a region between an end portion of the chamfered portion positioned on an inner side in the tire radial direction and a groove bottom of the sipe.
