The present invention has an object of providing a pneumatic tire that exhibits better uniformity by improving the wire wound body for constituting the bead core. The pneumatic tire 1 comprises a bead core 5 comprising a wire wound body 10 in which one bead wire 10a is spirally wound in a continuous around a tire rotational axis CL so that a plurality of layers of the bead wire are formed in a radial direction of the tire. The wire wound body 10 comprises a first part 13 and a second part 14. The first part 13 comprises a plurality of layers of the bead wire 10a each circumferentially extending with a constant radius from the tire rotational axis CL. The second part comprises a plurality of layers of the bead wire 10a each circumferentially extending while changing its radius from the tire rotational axis CL.
A method for manufacturing a pneumatic tire comprising a tread portion, a pair of sidewall portions, a pair of bead portions each with a bead core therein, and a carcass extending between the bead cores, wherein at least one of the bead cores comprises a wire wound body in which one bead wire is spirally wound in a continuous manner around a tire rotational axis so that a plurality of layers of the bead wire are formed in a radial direction of the tire, and the wire wound body comprises a first part and a second part, the first part comprising a plurality of layers of the bead wire each extending in a circumferential direction of the tire having a constant radius from the tire rotational axis, and the second part comprising a plurality of layers of the bead wire each extending in the circumferential direction of the tire while changing its radius from the tire rotational axis, the method comprising
