Abstract: A heavy duty tire has a tread portion 2 which is divided into five inner, intermediate and outer rib-like land portions R1, R2, R2, R3 and R3. The inner rib-like land portion R1 is virtudally divided into half regions R1a and R1a on each side of a tire equator. The intermediate rib-like land portions R2 and R3 are virtually divided into tire equator-side half regions R2c and R3c, and into ground-contact edge-side half regions R2e and R3e. In a regular ground-contact state in which a normal load is applied, when total sums of ground-contact load applied to the half regions R1a, R2c, R2e, R3c and R3e are defined as P1a, P2c, P2e, P3c and P3e, P2c/P1a is set to 0.9 to 1.05, P2e/P2c is set to 0.75 to 1.0, P3c/P2e is set to 0.9 to 1.2, and P3e/P3c is set to 0.8 to 1.1.

Abstract: A mobile terminal is provided to communicate in accordance with a notice indicating whether or not an HSDPA communication is possible. The mobile terminal receives HSDPA communication permission/inhibition data transmitted from a base station, in whose cell area the mobile terminal is present, via an antenna and a receiving section, and decodes the received data by a decoding section. A CPU analyzes the HSDPA communication permission/inhibition data decoded by the decoding section and controls a display control section to display a pictogram on a display to indicate the notice of whether or not the HSDPA communication is possible (HSDPA communication permission or HSDPA communication inhibition).
