December 12, 2012
A tire 20 includes a tread 22, a pair of beads 26, a carcass 28, and a belt 30. A ply 56a of the carcass 28 includes: a body 58a that extends toward each bead 26; and a pair of turned-up portions 60a that extend approximately outward from the body 58a in the radial direction. The belt 30 includes a first layer 64a and a second layer 64b which are layered over each other in the radial direction. Ends 68b of the second layer 64b are located inwardly from ends 68a, respectively, of the first layer 64a in the axial direction. The tread 22 includes a plurality of blocks 42. A portion of each of the turned-up portions 60a is layered over the first layer 64a, and ends 62a of the turned-up portions 60a are located close to the ends 68b, respectively, of the second layer 64b, inwardly from shoulder blocks 42a in the radial direction. A complex elastic modulus of an apex 54 of each bead 26 is less than or equal to 40 MPa.
