ABSTRACT:
A pneumatic tire has a tread part with two wide circumferential grooves having a width GW of not less than 35 mm and not more than the ground-contacting width TW of the tread with one circumferential groove extending on each side of the tire's equator so as to divide the tread part into a pair of shoulder parts and a central part. The central part has a surface utilizing successive convex curves of a pair of inner groove walls and a central ground-contacting surface. The central ground-contacting surface is substantially in contact with a virtual tread line between outer surfaces of the shoulder parts, and the surface of the central part is asymmetrical about the tire equatorial plane CL.
