TIRE
First Claim
1. A tire including a tread section coming into contact with a road surface and a tire side section continuous with the tread section, whereina circumferential recess is formed on an outer surface of the tire side section, the circumferential recess being depressed inward in a tread width direction and extending in a tire circumferential direction,a block protruding outward in the tread width direction is formed on the inside of the circumferential recess,in a cross section along the tread width direction of the tire and a tire radial direction, a rim-side outer surface is formed in an area from a rim separation point, which is the outermost point in the tire radial direction that is in contact with a rim flange, to an inner end of the circumferential recess in the tire radial direction, andat least a part of the block protrudes further to the outside in the tread width direction than a virtual line along which the rim-side outer surface extends.

Abstract
A circumferential recess is formed on the outer surface of a tire side section, the circumferential recess being recessed inward in a tread width direction and extending in a tire circumferential direction. A block protruding outward in the tread width direction is formed on the inside of the circumferential recess. In a cross section along the tread width direction of the tire and the tire radial direction, a rim outer surface is formed in an area from a rim separation point, which is the outermost point in the tire radial direction that is in contact with a rim flange, to an inner end of the circumferential recess in the tire radial direction. At least a part of the block protrudes further to the outside in the tread width direction than a virtual line along which the rim outer surface extends.
