Abstract
A pneumatic tire includes two circumferential main grooves disposed in an inner half of a tread developed width in a tire lateral direction; shoulder lug grooves that divide shoulder land portions into shoulder block portions and that each include a see-through portion in the tire lateral direction; center lug grooves dividing a center land portion into a plurality of center block portions; and center sipes having both ends terminated in the center block portions. The center sipe includes at least two sipe portions having different angles via at least one bent portion. An angle θof at least one sipe portion with respect to a tire equator line satisfies 0°≤θ≤15°, and an angle θof at least the other sipe portion with respect to the tire equator line satisfies 35°≤θ≤60°.
