Heavy duty tire

A heavy duty tire comprising:

• a pair of beads;
• a carcass extending on and between the pair of beads;
• a pair of sidewalls each located axially outward of the carcass;
• a pair of chafers each located radially inward of the sidewall and configured to come into contact with a rim;
• a tag member including an RFID tag;
• and
• a pair of interlayer strips, wherein
• each of the beads includes a core and an apex,
• the apex includes an inner apex located radially outward of the core, an outer apex located radially outward of the inner apex, and an edge strip located axially outward of the outer apex,
• the edge strip forms a part of an outer surface of the apex,
• a complex elastic modulus at 70° C. of the inner apex is not less than 60 MPa and not greater than 90 MPa,
• a complex elastic modulus at 70° C. of the chafer is not less than 10 MPa and not greater than 15 MPa,
• the carcass includes a carcass ply,
• the carcass ply includes a ply body extending between the pair of beads and a pair of turned-up portions each connected to the ply body and turned up around the bead,
• the tag member is in contact with the outer apex on a radially outer side of an end of the turned-up portion,
• each interlayer strip is located between the chafer and the apex in the axial direction, and covers an end of the turned-up portion,
• the edge strip is more flexible than the chafer and is harder than the outer apex,
• the outer apex is more flexible than the chafer,
• the interlayer strip is harder than the sidewall and is more flexible than the chafer,
• the tag member is a plate-shaped member including the RFID tag and a protector covering an entirety of the RFID tag,
• a thickness of the tag member is not less than 1.0 mm and not greater than 2.5 mm,
• the RFID tag is located between an outer end of the outer apex and an outer end of the chafer in a radial direction, and
• an inner end of the tag member is located radially outward of the outer end of the chafer,
• an outer end of the interlayer strip is located radially inward of an inner end of the tag member,
• an end of the turned-up portion is interposed between the edge strip and the interlayer strip, and
• the outer end of the interlayer strip is located between an inner end of the tag member and the outer end of the edge strip in the radial direction.
