the protrusion portions having an angle α within a range of no less than 6% and no more than 50% of an angle of one round in a tire circumferential direction, the angle α being relative and in the tire circumferential direction between two protrusion portion end position lines that respectively extend in a tire radial direction through different end portions of both end portions in an extending direction of the protrusion portions,
