A pneumatic tire has a side wall having a side surface and dimples formed on the side surface. The side surface has the tire maximum width point, the dimples are aligned along circumferential rows in concentric form with respect to the tire axis such that the dimples form lateral ribs and longitudinal ribs, the lateral ribs each have radially outer side surface and radially inner side surface and include first and second ribs, the first rib is formed such that the height from the dimple bottom at the inner side surface and the height from the dimple bottom at the outer side surface are equal, the second rib is formed such that the height from the dimple bottom at the inner side surface is greater than the height from the dimple bottom at the outer side surface, and the second rib is positioned radially inward from the maximum width point.
