Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Provided is a pneumatic tire that includes a tread that defines at least one groove that is formed in a center area of the tread, the at least one groove being connected to a connected groove that is formed close to a shoulder part, and a guide side wall that is formed on a stepping-in side of the groove and includes an inclined surface inclined from a surface of a land of the tread toward a groove depth side. The inclined surface is curved to approach the shoulder part as it goes from its portion far from the connected groove to its portion close to the connected groove.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A pneumatic tire comprising: a tread that defines at least one groove that is formed in a center area of the tread, the at least one groove being connected to a connected groove that is formed close to a shoulder part, and a guide side wall that is formed on a stepping-in side of the groove and includes an inclined surface inclined from a surface of the land of the tread toward a groove depth side, wherein the inclined surface is curved to approach the shoulder part as it goes from its portion far from the connected groove to its portion close to the connected groove. 2 . The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein the guide side wall is inclined so that its portion close to the connected groove is sharply inclined as compared with its portion far from the connected groove and its intermediate portion therebetween. 3 . The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein the guide side wall is a side wall close to a tire equator of the groove. 4 . The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein the guide side wall has an end edge on an outer side in a tire radial direction in a portion of the groove, which portion is located far from the connected groove, the end edge being parallel to the tire equator. 5 . The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one groove comprises plural grooves, in which a groove thereof on one side area and a groove thereof on the other side area of the tread in a tire width direction with the tire equator therebetween are alternately arranged in a tire circumferential direction.
