This tire tread (1) is provided with a ground-contact surface (2) which comes into contact with the road surface when the tire is rolling. The tire tread (1) is provided with: at least one main groove (3) in the peripheral direction; a plurality of secondary grooves (4); and a plurality of blocks (5). The blocks are each provided with: an upper surface (51) having a portion thereof serving as the ground-contact surface of the tread; two front-surface side walls (52, 53); two side-surface side walls (54, 55); front-surface edges (521, 531) formed in positions where the upper surface intersects the front-surface side walls; and side-surface edges (541, 551) formed in positions where the upper surface intersects the side-surface side walls (54, 55). The blocks each have, provided to at least one of the front-surface side walls thereof, a reinforcement section (6) which has an average thickness of t, and which has an elastic modulus (Ef) higher than the elastic modulus (Et) of a rubber composition forming the tread. In the at least one front-surface side wall having the reinforcement section provided thereto, an undulating section (7) is formed which is provided with at least two ridge sections (72) and at least one valley section (71). The undulating section is provided so as to form at least a portion of the at least one front-surface side wall having the reinforcement section provided thereto, and so as to form at least a portion of the reinforcement section.
