DRIVE
July 3, 2025
A pneumatic tire includes a circumferentially continuous recess in at least one sidewall outer surface. In a meridian cross-section, an area A of a region surrounded by outlines of the sidewall and a bead and a tangent line, an area S of a region surrounded by the outlines of the sidewall and the bead, a carcass body, a perpendicular line L, a perpendicular line L, and a thickness G of a bead filler measured along the perpendicular line L satisfy 0.10×(G−17)≤A/(S+A)≤0.05×(G−10), the tangent line being straight and contacting the outlines of the sidewall and the bead, a contact point being where the tangent line and the sidewall outline contact, the perpendicular line L being straight and passing through a turned-up edge of a carcass and perpendicularly intersecting the carcass body, the perpendicular line L being straight and passing through the contact point and perpendicularly intersecting the carcass body.
