Abstract: A tire includes a decoration portion, formed by printing, extending in the tire circumferential direction in at least a portion of the outer surface of at least one side portion of the tire. The decoration portion includes a gradation portion in which at least one of hue, saturation, and value changes incrementally in a longitudinal direction.

Abstract: Provided is a pneumatic tire in which a display part of the tire is made less susceptible to dirt and damages and is also improved in appearance. The tire of the present invention includes, on a tire side portion (4), a display part (5) having at least one of an emblem and a decorative band, the emblem and the decorative band being formed by means of any one of printing, painting, a sticker, and exposure of a color rubber, in which the tire side portion (4) has, in a region adjacent to the display part (5), a projection (6) protruding from the surface of the display part (5) and extending along the display part (5).

Abstract: A pneumatic tire (1) having a sound absorption effect by lateral grooves is provided. The tire tread (2) has circumferential grooves formed continuously in the circumferential direction and lateral grooves extending from a circumferential groove. One end of each lateral groove is connected to the circumferential groove and the other end is a dead end. Each of the lateral grooves (7) includes a one-directional groove (11) extending in one direction from the circumferential groove (5) toward a side edge of the tire and an another-directional groove (14) extending in another direction from the circumferential groove toward the side edge of the tire. A root section (11a), which is close to the circumferential groove, of the one-directional groove (11) and a root section (14a), which is close to the circumferential groove (5), of the another-directional groove (14) are formed by a common groove (15).

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: 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: 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 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: There is provided a pneumatic tire sufficiently improving drainage performance, driving stability, uneven wear resistance and quiet performance. A pneumatic tire 1 has at least one tire circumferential groove 9 extending along the tire circumferential direction in a tread portion 2. In addition, there are provided in a surface of the tread portion, a plurality of inclined grooves consisting of two or more small grooves 10 inclined at the same direction with respect to the tire circumferential direction and having an inclination angle within a range between 10 degrees and 60 degrees and configured in a zig-zag manner by coupling ends of the small grooves 10. The inclined grooves 11 are included in any widthwise section of the tread portion 2 of the tire and a part of the inclined grooves 11 is opened to the tire circumferential groove 9.
