Abstract
A pneumatic tire includes a tread portion and a pair of sidewall portions extending inward in a tire radial direction from both edges of the tread portion. At least one of the sidewall portions is provided with a vent line and a recessed portion adjacent to each other in the tire radial direction. The vent line protrudes from a sidewall outer surface and extends in a tire circumferential direction. The recessed portion is recessed from the sidewall outer surface at a first depth. A serration pattern, in which a plurality of ridges extending in the tire radial direction are arranged in the tire circumferential direction, is formed in the recessed portion. Each of heights of the ridges is smaller than the first depth.
