  • Publication number: 20220339970
    Abstract: A pneumatic tire has a sidewall that extends in a tire radial direction. The the sidewall has an insignia which protrudes toward an exterior in a tire axial direction. The insignia has a strip-like body, an endless-loop-like outline which encompasses the body, and a bridge which is arranged toward an exterior from the endless loop of the outline and which causes a mutually separated pair of the outlines to be mutually connected. Heights by which the body and the outline protrude relative to a reference surface which is an exterior surface in a region peripheral to the insignia are mutually different. A height by which the bridge protrudes relative to the reference surface is less than each of the protruding heights of the body and the outline.
