Pneumatic tire and method of manufacturing same

A pneumatic tire comprising:

• a pair of beads, each bead including a bead core and a bead filler extending outward in a tire radial direction from the bead core;
• a pair of sidewalls respectively extending outward in the tire radial direction from the pair of beads;
• a tread disposed between the pair of sidewalls;
• and
• a carcass ply spanning between the pair of beads and embedded in the pneumatic tire,
• wherein the sidewalls each include a sidewall rubber,
• wherein the carcass ply includes an up ply and a down ply,
• the up ply including an up ply body that extends from the tread via the pair of sidewalls onto inner sides of the pair of beads in a tire axial direction, and a wrap-up portion that is continuous with the up ply body and is wrapped around the bead core and folded back so as to extend outward in the tire radial direction,
• the down ply extending from the tread via the pair of sidewalls onto outer sides of the pair of beads in the tire axial direction, and
• wherein an electronic component is sandwiched between the wrap-up portion of the up ply and the down ply and is disposed further outward in the tire radial direction than an inner end of the sidewall rubber in the tire radial direction.
