A tire comprising:

• a pair of bead portions each containing a bead core embedded therein;
• a carcass comprising carcass plies that extend between the bead cores 22 with turnup portions of the carcass plies anchored around each bead core;
• an apex above the bead core and between the carcass plies and the turnup portions;
• a sidewall portion that extends substantially outward from each of the bead portions in the radial direction;
• a tread portion that extends between radially outer ends of the sidewall portions;
• a belt package arranged between the carcass and the tread portion;
• a sidewall gum layer that extends from a first end located at the apex along the carcass plies to a second end;
• a wraparound gum layer that wraps around an end of a first inner zigzag belt structure of the belt package;
• and
• a belt gum layer that extends from a first end located between the belt package and the carcass plies along the carcass plies to a second end, wherein a distance between the second end of the belt gum layer and the second end of the sidewall gum layer is 15 mm or greater.

A pneumatic tire comprising:

• a tread;
• a carcass ply;
• a belt interposed between the carcass ply and the tread, the belt having opposed first and second lateral edges;
• a pair of sidewall portions,
• a pair of bead regions each including an annular bead core, and
• a pair of sidewall gum layers, wherein each sidewall gum layer has a first end and a second end, wherein the second end is located within a second bead region of the pair of bead regions.
