Abstract: Provided is a motorcycle tire whose wear resistance and drainage performance are improved by refining the tread pattern. The motorcycle tire includes: a tread section; and side wall sections and bead sections that continuously extend on both sides of the tread section, and the rotation direction of the motorcycle tire when fitted to a motorcycle is designated. In a tread section 10, first inclined main grooves 1 of a linear or curved shape which are inclined with respect to the tire circumferential direction, second inclined main grooves 2 of a linear or curved shape which are inclined in the same direction as the first inclined main grooves 1 but at a different angle, and shallow grooves 3 which are inclined in a different direction from the first inclined main grooves 1 and the second inclined main grooves 2 with respect to the tire circumferential direction are arranged, and the shallow grooves 3 are arranged only in a shoulder part.

Abstract: A motorcycle tire whose wear resistance and drainage performance are improved by refining the tread pattern, including: a tread section; side wall sections and bead sections that continuously extend on both sides of the tread section, and the rotation direction of the tire when fitted to a motorcycle is designated. At least two inclined main grooves inclined with respect to the tire circumferential direction and at least two shallow grooves are arranged on the surface of the tread section and, when, among the at least two inclined main grooves, the one whose tire width direction inner end is closest to the tire equatorial plane is defined as a first inclined main groove, the at least two shallow grooves include: a center-side shallow groove and a shoulder-side shallow groove.
