Abstract:
A ground contact region of the tread portion of a studdable tire includes a center region located over a range corresponding to a length of 5 to 25% of a ground contact width from a tire centerline on each of both sides of the tire centerline in a tire width direction; and two shoulder regions located on both sides of the center region in the tire width direction. In each of the center region and the shoulder regions, a plurality of the stud pin installation holes are disposed along each of four or more pin arrangement lines extending in a tire circumferential direction. An average value of adjacent intervals between the pin arrangement lines in the center region is larger than an average value of adjacent intervals between the pin arrangement lines in each of the shoulder regions.
