Abstract
A pneumatic tire comprises buttress parts each provided with a row of protrusions arranged circumferentially of the tire. The protrusion has a radially outside wall surface rising from the surface of the buttress part, a radially inside wall surface rising from the surface of the buttress part, and a top surface extending between the radially inside wall surface and the radially outside wall surface. The radially outside wall surface starts to rise from the surface of the buttress part at a certain distance from the tread edge so that the minimum radial distance Kmin from the tread edge to the protrusions is in a range of from 5 to 15 mm.
