  • Publication number: 20210039437
    Abstract: A pneumatic tire includes a main groove in a tread portion. The main groove has a groove depth of from 7 mm to 11 mm. A rubber composition for a tread constituting the tread portion includes a natural rubber, a styrene-butadiene rubber, and a butadiene rubber as a rubber component. The average glass transition temperature of the rubber component is ?50° C. or lower. Silica is compounded in the rubber composition for a tread at 50 parts by mass to 100 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the rubber component. The compounded amount of the silica is 80 mass % or more of the total amount of carbon black and silica. Aroma oil is compounded in the rubber composition for a tread at 40 mass % or less relative to the amount of silica.
