The tire includes a surface that projects, at a position more to one side or the other in the circumferential direction than the narrow groove that is opened to the tire side, further to an outer side in a tire width direction than a tire side shape to which the narrow groove is opened, and the surface extends in a radial direction from a ground contact end to include a groove bottom of the narrow groove.
