Pneumatic tire

A pneumatic tire, comprising:

• a tread portion extending in a tire circumferential direction and having an annular shape;
• a pair of sidewall portions respectively disposed on both sides of the tread portion;
• a pair of bead portions each disposed on an inner side of the sidewall portions in a tire radial direction;
• at least one carcass layer mounted between the pair of bead portions;
• a plurality of belt layers disposed on an outer circumferential side of the carcass layer in the tread portion;
• and
• a belt reinforcing layer disposed on an outer circumferential side of the belt layers;
• the carcass layer being formed of a carcass cord made of an organic fiber cord, an elongation at break of the carcass cord being 20% or more, an elongation under a load of 1.5 cN/dtex of the carcass cord in the sidewall portions being from 6.2% to 8.0%,
• the belt reinforcing layer being formed of a cover cord made of an organic fiber cord, an angle of the cover cord with respect to the tire circumferential direction being set to from 0° to 5° , and a tensile strength of the cover cord per width of 50 mm at a 3.0% elongation being from 2.8 kN to 4.0 kN,
• the belt layer being formed of belt cords, an inclination angle of the belt cords with respect to the tire circumferential direction being set within a range of from 10° to 40° .
