Abstract
A component Fin toward an axial inner direction of the tire which is an opposite direction from an axial outer direction of the tire is applied to a force acting on a kicking endB of a land portion. With this, abrasion of the kicking end of the land portion can be moderated, and a biased abrasion resistance can be enhanced. A groove wallof a lug grooveis provided with a step portion, a tread side groove width WA in a tread side of the step portion is widened toward an axial outer side of the tire, and a width WS of the step portionis increased toward the axial outer side of the tire, thereby suppressing the lift from the road surfaceat the tread-in endA of the land portion
