Pneumatic Tire and Method for Manufacturing Pneumatic Tire

Abstract

A pneumatic tire includes a carcass layer, a pair of cross belts disposed on an outer side in a radial direction of the carcass layer, and a tread rubber disposed on the outer side in the radial direction of the cross belts. A tread profile when the tire is mounted on a specified rim, inflated to a specified internal pressure, and in an unloaded state is defined by the following elliptic function ([Mathematical Formula 1]) having a center point on a tire equatorial plane. Here, “a” is the radius in a tire width direction and the major axis, “b” is the radius in the tire radial direction and the minor axis, and conditions of 0<b<a, 0<x, 0<y, 1.00<p, 1.00<q and p≠q are satisfied. ( x a ) p + ( y b ) q = 1 [ Mathematical ⁢ ⁢ Formula ⁢ ⁢ 1 ]
