Abstract
A tire has a tread portion bound with an intended tire rotational direction. The tread portion includes a first tread edge and a second tread edge. The tread portion is provided with first oblique grooves extending obliquely toward a heel side in the tire rotational direction from the first tread edge toward a tire equator side, second oblique grooves extending obliquely toward the heel side from the second tread edge toward the tire equator side, and first circumferential grooves each connecting a respective pair of the first oblique grooves adjacent to each other in a tire circumferential direction. The first oblique grooves have the tire equator side end portions intersecting with the second oblique grooves. The second oblique grooves have the tire equator side end portions intersecting with the first oblique grooves. The first circumferential grooves have groove widths each increasing toward the heel side in the tire rotational direction.
