In a tire having a cross-sectional height from 50-150 mm, in an unloaded state mounted on a specified rim and inflated to a specified internal pressure, a distance (A) between the tire and a rim flange on a perpendicular line drawn from a rim flange outermost point in a radial direction to a tire outer surface with respect to the cross-sectional height (SH) satisfies 0.01≤A/SH≤0.16, and a point (S) where the rim flange separates from the tire is defined, a point (T) where the perpendicular line drawn from the rim flange outermost point in the radial direction to the tire outer surface intersects the tire outer surface is defined, two perpendicular lines are drawn from (S) and (T) to a carcass layer turned-up portion, and a cross-sectional area (Sr) of a rubber portion in a region surrounded by the two perpendicular lines and the carcass layer turned-up portion satisfies 12 mm2≤Sr≤101 mm2.
A wheel assembly comprising a tire and a specified rim, the tire comprising a carcass layer mounted between a pair of bead portions and a belt layer disposed on an outer side of the carcass layer in the tread portion, having a turned-up structure in which the carcass layer is wound up around a bead core from an inner side to an outer side of the tire, and having a cross-sectional height SH ranging from 50 mm to 150 mm,
