Pneumatic tire

A pneumatic tire comprising:

• a reflective layer that is provided on a surface of the pneumatic Lire and that reflects light,
• the reflective layer including:
• a transparent globule group composed of a plurality of transparent globules,
• at least some of the transparent globules of the transparent globule group being each configured to reflect incident light incident thereinto from outside, at an interface with the outside therefore, and to emit the light to the outside of the transparent globule as reflected light,
• the transparent globules including a plurality of transparent globules A,
• the transparent globules A being each configured to cause the reflected light to include more amount of non-retroreflected light than retroreflected light, the non-retroreflected light being farther away from an optical path of the incident light according to a distance from the transparent globule A being increased, and
• the transparent globules A each have an optical path of the non-retroreflected light with an angle difference of from 2.0 degrees to 2.5 degrees from the optical path of the incident light,
• wherein the transparent globule group includes a plurality of transparent globules B each having the angle difference less than that of each of the transparent globules A.

• the reflective layer includes a transparent protective layer inside which the transparent globule group is distributed, and
• the transparent globule group includes transparent globules C each having an entirely transparent surface, a number of the transparent globules C being from 5 to 50% of a total number of transparent globules of the transparent globule group.
