Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pneumatic tire for a two-wheeled vehicle capable of reducing noise in running on a paved road without sacrificing running performance on an unleveled road significantly. SOLUTION: A lug groove 14 is inclined to a tire axial direction so that an edge 18A of a block 18 on a treading side along a whole length does not strike a road surface at a time in rolling and contacting the road surface, and noise is reduced. A plurality of the blocks 18 are not in line in the tire axial direction, and do not strike the road surface simultaneously, also resulting in reduced noise. Noise can be reduced without degrading running performance on an unleveled road by setting a negative rate of a tread 12 within 30-60% and setting an arranging pitch P of the lug groove 14 in a circumferential direction in a standard ground contacting surface 20 within 50-100% of a maximum length L0 of the standard ground contacting surface 20.
