ABSTRACT:
A pneumatic tire is provided, where the rigidity of the blocks formed on the tread surface is increased and an increase in the level of noise when the tread surface is worn can be prevented. In a pneumatic tire where a number of blocks which are separated by a number of grooves are formed on tread surface, these grooves comprise main grooves that extend along the direction around the tire, or across the direction around the tire, sub-grooves that extend so as to connect to these main grooves, a pair of first raised bottom portions formed in the vicinity of the two ends of each portion of sub-groove which separates blocks, and at least one second raised bottom portion that is formed between each pair of the first raised bottom portions.
