          Application No. 10/113,567                                                  

               extending in a width direction of the tire are provided on             
               and into surfaces of the blocks,                                       
                    wherein the sipes are formed by shifting pitches of a             
               zigzag shape on a tread face side of the sipe and a zigzag             
               shape on a bottom side thereof in the width direction of the           
               tire,                                                                  
                    and in the case of viewing concave and convex points              
               according to a visual direction E along the circumferential            
               direction of the tire, connecting a convex flexion point of            
               the zigzag shape on the tread side and a concave flexion               
               point of the zigzag shape on the bottom side which are                 
               facing each other, a concave flexion point of the zigzag               
               shape on the tread side and a convex flexion point of the              
               zigzag shape on the bottom side which are facing each other,           
               and the convex points of the both zigzag shapes which are              
               adjacent to each other, severally with edge lines, and                 
                    interlinking the edge lines serially by planes in the             
               width direction of the tire,                                           
                    wherein one of wall surfaces sectioned by the sipe is             
               formed into a concavo-convex face A in which convex                    
               triangular pyramids and convex reverse triangular pyramids             
               are alternately arranged in the width direction of the tire,           
               and the other wall surface is formed into a concavo-convex             
               face B in which concave triangular pyramids and concave                
               reverse triangular pyramids are alternately arranged in the            
               width direction of the tire,                                           
                    wherein a plurality of the concavo-convex faces A                 
               sectioned to be adjacent by the sipes are disposed in each             
               of the two outermost positions in the circumferential                  
               direction of the block to be oriented outward from the                 
               block, and
