Pneumatic tire

A pneumatic tire comprising:

• a pair of bead cores respectively embedded in a pair of bead portions, and a carcass including at least one carcass ply toroidally extending between the pair of bead cores, wherein:
• when the tire is mounted to an applicable rim and at an unloaded state while a normal maximum internal pressure is applied, a tire widthwise maximum width of the carcass is 1.35 W or less, where W is a tire widthwise distance between each bead heel of the pair of bead portions;
• and
• when the tire is mounted to the applicable rim and at the unloaded state while substantively no internal pressure is applied, in a cross section along the tire width direction,
• a tire outer surface has a recess on the inner side in a tire radial direction with respect to a tire maximum width position and on the outer side in the tire radial direction with respect to a separation point of the tire outer surface of the bead portions from a rim flange,
• when h is a tire radial maximum height of the carcass, and when a first height position H1, a second height position H2 and a third height position H3 are height positions spaced respectively by 0.10 h, 0.26 h and 0.48 h from a tire radial innermost position of the carcass toward the outer side in the tire radial direction, a radius of curvature of the carcass is 0.46 h or more within a second height range h2 from a first height position H1 to a second height position H2 and on the outer side in the tire radial direction with respect to the bead cores, and the radius of curvature of the carcass is 0.62 h or more within a third height range h3 from the second height position H2 to the third height position H3, and
• when a bead core height position Hbc is a tire radial outermost height position of a virtual point on the carcass with respect to the tire radial innermost position of the carcass in the case where a normal line of the carcass at the virtual point on the carcass penetrates the bead core, and when G0 is a tire gauge measured along the normal line of the carcass at the virtual point at the bead core height position Hbc, a tire gauge measured along the normal line of the carcass at the virtual point is reduced by a reduction amount of 0.025×G0/mm or less during movement of the virtual point along the carcass from the bead core height position Hbc toward the third height position H3, and the gauge at the virtual point located at the third height position H3 is 10% or more of the tire widthwise maximum width of the bead core.
