Pneumatic tire for two-wheeled vehicle

A pneumatic tire for two-wheeled vehicles comprising:

• a bead core embedded in each of a pair of left and right bead sections;
• a carcass constituted by at least one carcass ply toroidally extending from one of the bead sections to the other bead section, with ends of the carcass ply either anchored to the respective bead cores by being wrapped therearound or by being held therein, or affixed to the respective bead cores;
• a belt layer provided on an outer side, in a tire radial direction, of the carcass;
• and a plurality of tread rubbers provided on an outer side, in the tire radial direction, of the belt layer and constituting a tread to be brought into contact with the ground,
• wherein the belt layer includes a spiral belt layer formed by spirally winding a belt-like member in which a single cord or a plurality of parallel cords are embedded in a coating rubber, and
• wherein, when a region occupying 15 to 35% in the center of a stretched tread width, which is obtained by stretching the tread with respect to a tire equatorial plane as the center, is defined as a tread central section;
• the remaining regions at both ends of the tread are defined as tread side sections;
• regions in the respective tread side sections each occupying 4 to 13% from the corresponding tread end toward the center of the stretched tread width are defined as side-section shoulder-end regions;
• and the remaining regions of the respective tread side sections are defined as side-section near-center regions, a modulus M1 of the tread rubbers for the side-section shoulder-end regions at 100% elongation is smaller than a modulus M2 of the tread rubbers for the side-section near-center regions at 100% elongation, at least at a tread surface.
