Patent attributes
In a pneumatic tire are defined: a first imaginary line VL1 passing through a ground contact surface in a meridian cross section of a tread, a second imaginary line VL2 passing through a bottom of a shoulder groove and parallel to VL1, an intersection point P between VL2 and a surface of a shoulder land outward of a ground contact edge T in a lateral direction, and an equatorial plane CL. Given A as a distance in the lateral direction between P and CL, B as a groove depth of the shoulder groove, and C as a distance in the lateral direction between T and CL, 0.80≤(B+C)/A≤1.15 is satisfied. Given Q as a distance in the lateral direction between CL and an end of a belt ply that has a shorter dimension in the lateral direction, 0.75≤Q/C≤0.95 is satisfied.
