  • Patent number: 12097727
    Abstract: A plurality of side blocks each has a high protruding portion, an amount by which the high protruding portion protrudes relative to a reference surface which is an exterior surface in a region peripheral to an insignia being not less than a maximum amount by which the insignia protrudes relative to the reference surface. The plurality of side blocks include a first side block which as viewed in the tire radial direction appears to overlap the insignia, and a second side block which as viewed in the tire radial direction appears not to overlap the insignia. An inner end in the tire radial direction of the high protruding portion of the first side block is separated in the tire radial direction from the insignia, and a portion of the high protruding portion of the second side block appears to overlap the insignia as viewed in the tire circumferential direction.

  • Patent number: 11999194
    Abstract: In a tire, a first side block comprises a first recess which opens so as to be directed toward a first circumferential direction, and a second recess which opens so as to be directed toward a second circumferential direction which is opposite the first circumferential direction in a tire circumferential direction. The first side block comprises a first region, a second region, and a first step which is between the first region and the second region and which is formed by a difference in heights by which the first region and the second region protrude.
