Abstract
A pneumatic tire (1) including: a belt layer (20); and a belt reinforcing layer (30), in which: a filament diameter of each of steel cords of belt ply (21) is more than 0.10 mm and less than 0.25 mm; and A, B, and C satisfy relationships represented by the following, Expression (I): B/A<400 and Expression (II): 600<C/A<2000, where: A [N/inch] is a bending load per unit width of a sheet of the belt ply (21); B [N/inch] is a product of a load at 2% elongation of each of organic fiber cords of belt reinforcing ply (31) [N/cord] and the number of the organic fiber cords [cord/inch]; and C [N/inch] is a product of a load at 5% elongation of each of the organic fiber cords [N/cord] and the number of the organic fiber cords [cord/inch].
Claims8
A pneumatic tire comprising:
- a carcass;
- a belt layer arranged on an outer circumference of a crown of the carcass;
- and
- a belt reinforcing layer arranged on an outer circumference of the belt layer, wherein
