The center land portion and the left and right second land portions each include through lug grooves that are inclined at a predetermined inclination angle with respect to the tire lateral direction and extend through the land portion in the tire lateral direction. The through lug grooves located in the center land portion and the through lug grooves located in the left and right second land portions extend in the tire lateral direction inclined in opposite directions to each other. At least one groove wall of each of the through lug grooves located in the left and right second land portions include a step-shaped bent portion that bends in the tire circumferential direction in a plan view of a tread.
