Abstract
A pneumatic tire mounted with surface fastener members for attaching an object to a tire inner surface, comprises: at least eight surface fastener members having an intermittent arrangement on a tread inner circumferential surface, the surface fastener members having a uniform cross-sectional dimension, an overall band-like shape, and a length in a tire axial direction from 50% to 120% of a maximum belt width of the pneumatic tire; wherein an angle θ between a longitudinal direction of the surface fastener members and the tire axial direction is from 0 degrees to 45 degrees; and an installation period in a tire circumferential direction is from 80% to 150% of the length in the tire axial direction of the surface fastener members.
