Tire for two-wheeled automotive vehicle

A tire for a two-wheeled automotive vehicle, the tire comprising:

• a tread forming a tread surface;
• a band disposed inward of the tread in a radial direction;
• and
• a belt disposed between the tread and the band in the radial direction,
• wherein
• the tread includes a center region disposed at a center in an axial direction, and a shoulder region disposed on an outer side in the axial direction, wherein
• a ratio (Wc/Wt) of a width Wc of the center region to a width Wt of the tread is not less than 0.05 and not greater than 0.20, and
• a complex elastic modulus Ec* of the center region is less than a complex elastic modulus Es* of the shoulder region,
• the band includes a band cord, and the band cord is helically wound and extends in a circumferential direction,
• the belt includes first and second belt layers spaced from each other over a distance D in the axial direction,
• the first belt layer is disposed on a first lateral side of the equator plane in the axial direction,
• the second belt layer is disposed on a second lateral side of the equator plane in the axial direction,
• the distance D is less than the width Wc of the center region,
• each of the first and second belt layers includes belt cords,
• the belt cords extend so as to be tilted relative to an equator plane,
• an absolute value of an angle of the belt cords relative to the equator plane is not less than 70° and not greater than 90°, and
• the belt cords of the first and second belt layers have a belt cord number density Ec in the center region that is less than the belt cord number density Es in the shoulder region.
