Abstract:
A motorcycle tire is provided in each half of the tread portion with main and auxiliary oblique grooves. The main oblique grooves on both sides of the tire equator are staggered and have axially inner ends at a first axial distance of 1 to 4 mm from the tire equator. The auxiliary oblique grooves have axially inner ends at a second axial distance more than the first axial distance. The main oblique groove comprises an axially inner part inclining at an angle of not more than 30 degrees and a middle part inclining at a larger angle of from 25 to 70 degrees. The auxiliary oblique groove comprises an axially inner part inclining at an angle of 25 to 55 degrees and a middle part inclining at a larger angle of from 45 to 75 degrees, each angle with respect to the tire circumferential direction.
