Pneumatic tire
First Claim
1. A pneumatic tire comprising a tread surface on which a plurality of circumferential groove portions is formed, wherein from among the circumferential groove portions, a circumferential groove portion situated closest to a shoulder portion side in a tire width direction has a center of a groove-bottom innermost portion at a portion where a groove width in at least a tire circumferential direction is the narrowest, the center of the groove-bottom innermost portion being positioned closer to an equatorial surface in the tire width direction than a center of the groove width, and a first angle between a virtual extension portion of the tread surface and a groove wall on the equatorial surface side is equal to or less than a second angle between the virtual extension portion of the tread surface and a groove wall on the shoulder portion side.

Abstract
A pneumatic tire includes a tread surface on which a plurality of circumferential groove portions is formed. From among circumferential groove portions, a circumferential groove portion situated closest to a shoulder portion side in a tire width direction has a center of a groove-bottom innermost portion at a portion where a groove width in at least a tire circumferential direction is the narrowest, positioned closer to an equatorial surface in the tire width direction than a center of the groove width. An angle between a virtual extension portion of the tread surface and a groove wall on the equatorial surface side is equal to or less than an angle between the virtual extension portion of the tread surface and a groove wall on the shoulder portion side.
