ABSTRACT:
A pneumatic tire having nominal rim size less than 762 mm (30 inches), flatness ratio less than 80% and a tread pattern including a plurality of lugs separated each other by a groove, said lugs comprising slanting portions which inclines relative to the equatorial line of the tire and extends from each side edge of the tread toward the each 1/4 position of the tread width and transverse portions which turns toward the equatorial line and terminates in the opposite area across the equatorial line, the transverse portion of the left-hand lug alternating with the transverse portion of the right-hand lug and overlapping each other in the circumferential direction of the tire, the groove edges being curved with the radius of curvature not exceeding 1 mm, overlapped ratio eP/Tw of the lugs being within the range of 0.30 to 0.38, the ratio Lt/2.times.Tw being 0.25 to 0.45, the coefficient of the projective length of the groove edges being 25 to 32, the ratio Ss/Sq of the sectional areas of the grooves being 1.25 to 1.65, wherein eP is the projective length of the extension of lug extending across the equatorial line, Tw is the half width of the tread, Lt is the length of the transverse portion, Ss is the sectional area of the groove at the tread side line and Sq is the sectional area of the groove at the 1/4 position of the tread width.
