A pneumatic tire comprising:
- a rim cushion rubber disposed in a bead portion where the bead portion and a rim are in contact with each other;
- an electrically conductive rubber disposed in the rim cushion rubber, the electrically conductive rubber having an electrical resistance value lower than that of the rim cushion rubber, and including
- a first end exposed on an outer surface of the rim cushion rubber in contact with the rim, and
- a second end disposed in contact with a tire component adjacent to the rim cushion rubber;
- and
- an earth tread rubber disposed in a tread portion passing through a cap tread rubber and an undertread rubber of the tread portion, the earth tread rubber having an electrical resistance value lower than that of the cap tread rubber, and including
- a first end exposed on a tread surface, and
- a second end disposed in contact with a belt layer or a belt reinforcing layer,
- in a meridian cross-section, a width of the second end in a thickness direction being greater than a width of the first end.
