Abstract
Disclosed is a pneumatic tire effectively controlling uneven wear occurring in the vicinity of a main groove even if a groove width of the main groove is narrowed due to change in tread radius during inflation. In the pneumatic tire, with regard to the main groove having its groove width narrowed during inflation among a plurality of main grooves provided on a tread surface, both groove walls are inclined so that the groove width becomes wider toward the groove bottom, and a protrusion dividing the groove space in the tire width direction is provided at the groove bottom.
