Abstract
The present invention provides a pneumatic tire, which includes a belt layer laminated and formed on an upper side of a carcass ply inside a tread portion, and a plurality of air vent cords arranged between the carcass ply and the belt with a predetermined interval, wherein at least a part of the air vent cords is formed so as to have electrical conductivity, thus to electrically communicate the carcass ply and the belt layer with each other, such that a static electricity generated in a body of an automobile is discharged through the tread grounded to the road surface via the carcass ply which electrically contacts with a tire wheel, thereby preventing an accident that may occur due to the static electricity in the automobile.
