AIRCRAFT TIRE

To provide an aircraft tire capable of suppressing rubber tire wear during landing and shocks which accelerate or decelerate an aircraft at touchdown. An aircraft tire 3 includes, on a side of a tire body 4 constituting an outer peripheral part of an aircraft wheel 1, a protrusion 5 for receiving flight wind pressure. The wheel 1 is rotated ahead of the touchdown by the action of the wind pressure received by the protrusion 5 in a direction in which the wheel 1 rotates during a landing roll. Weight 15 is inserted into a hollow part 11 of the protrusion 5. Through use of centrifugal force on the weight 15 in association with a rotational motion of the wheel 1, the protrusion 5 is deformed to change its wind pressure receiving area for bringing rotational speed of the wheel 1 ahead of the touchdown close to a rotating speed of the wheel that is consistent with a flying speed of the aircraft making the touchdown.
