Abstract: First direction ridge patterns and second direction ridge patterns are lined-up alternately at a tire side portion. Plural main ridges 22A through 22D and sub-ridges 26A through 26D, which project-out from a bottom surface 18A, are formed at a first direction ridge pattern 20. The respective ridges are disposed in parallel such that ridge extending directions are a same direction. Light reflection patterns are different at a main ridge region 24 and a sub-ridge region 28.

Abstract: The present invention provides a tire capable of effectively enhancing the visibility of marks. The tire is provided with a mark 3 on a surface of a side portion 1, in which the mark 3 is formed so as to vary at least one of the hue, brightness and saturation.

Abstract: Provided is a tire in which, by improving a decorative portion provided on a side portion, while a high visibility and a crack resistance are secured, molding man-hours are reduced, thereby improving a moldability and a cost performance.

Abstract: Plural lug grooves are formed that extend from an outermost circumferential direction groove towards a tire equatorial plane side and are disposed sloped with respect to the tire equatorial plane at intervals along the tire circumferential direction. Arc shaped communication grooves are formed in segment land portions arising from a land portion being segmented in the tire circumferential direction by the lug grooves. The communication grooves communicate between the lug grooves adjacent to each other in the tire circumferential direction.

Abstract: A pneumatic tire is provided with a decoration portion at a tire side portion. The decoration portion includes decoration elements, which include ridges, and gullies, which are inclined with respect to the tire circumferential direction and divide the decoration elements into at least two regions. Thus, the gullies make the ridges non- continuous in the tire circumferential direction. The ridges include first ridges and second ridges that are smaller than the first ridges in one or both of height and width. At least some of the first ridges are inclined with respect to the tire circumferential direction and are adjacent to one another. Thus, the gullies are formed between the adjacent first ridges.

Abstract: An object is to provide a pneumatic tire with enhanced on-snow performance. On-snow performance is enhanced due to a tire 10 having a tread 12 provided with a shoulder circumferential direction main groove 16 formed with alternating narrow groove-width portions 16A and wide groove-width portions 16B having a wider groove-width than the narrow groove-width portions 16A extending in the tire circumferential direction. The tread 12 is further provided with an intermediate lug groove 32, extending in a direction so as to intersect the shoulder circumferential direction main groove 16 and having a first end portion connected to the shoulder circumferential direction main groove 16. The intermediate lug groove 32 is provided such that one of the wide groove-width portions 16B is positioned on an extension line of the intermediate lug groove 32.

Abstract: A pneumatic tire, including a pair of bead portions, a pair of sidewall portions, and a tread portion, the sidewall portion comprising: a first decorative portion indicating a first mark; and a second decorative portion indicating a second mark and provided on the inner side in the tire radial direction of the first decorative portion such that at least a portion in the tire circumferential direction of the second decorative portion overlaps the first decorative portion in the tire radial direction, wherein brightness of the second mark of the second decorative portion is higher than brightness of the first mark of the first decorative portion, and an area of the second mark of the second decorative portion is smaller than an area of the first mark of the first decorative portion.

Abstract: A pneumatic tire including a pair of bead portions, a pair of sidewall portions extending from the bead portions, a tread portion extending across the respective sidewall portions, and a decorative band having a smooth surface and formed on the sidewall portion, wherein: the outermost end in the tire radial direction of the decorative band is positioned on the inner side in the tire radial direction than the largest width position of the tire; the decorative band includes a plurality of decorative lines each extending in the tire circumferential direction and having higher brightness than the base color of the tire; brightness of the decorative line having the highest brightness among the decorative lines is at least 80%; and brightness and/or hue of the decorative line having the highest brightness is different from brightness and/or hue of at least one of other decorative lines.
