Abstract
A pneumatic tire includes sidewall portions, at least one of which is provided in the outer surface thereof with an axially outwardly protruding protector. The protector is composed of patterned unit protrusions arranged at intervals in the tire circumferential direction. Each patterned unit protrusion includes a first protruding portion and a second protruding portion which extend in a tire radial direction and spaced apart from each other in the tire circumferential direction, and a third protruding portion connecting between the first and second protruding portions. The radial dimension L1 of the first protruding portion is more than the radial dimension L2 of the second protruding portion.
