To make it possible to enhance uneven wear resistance while maintaining drainage performance, a pneumatic tire includes a left-right asymmetric tread pattern having a designated mounting orientation with respect to a vehicle. Vertical grooves include an inner shoulder circumferential groove disposed on an innermost side of the vehicle, and an outer shoulder circumferential groove disposed on an outermost side of the vehicle. Lateral grooves include inner shoulder lateral grooves and outer shoulder lateral grooves. The inner shoulder lateral groove includes a first inner shoulder lateral groove which extends inward in a tire axial direction from an outer side of a vehicle-inner side tread edge and terminates without reaching the inner shoulder circumferential groove, and a second inner shoulder lateral groove which extends inward in the tire axial direction from an outer side of the vehicle-inner side tread edge and opens in the inner shoulder circumferential groove.
