Each bead includes a core, a first apex and a second apex; the carcass includes a carcass ply which is turned up around the core from the axially inner side toward the outer side, such that it is divided into a main and a turn-up portion; each strip has a radially inner edge positioned between the main and turn-up portions; the second apex is positioned between the turn-up portion and each clinch; each strip has an outer edge in the radial direction positioned to correspond to or on inner side of the point of the tire maximum width; the second apex has an outer edge which is radially inner than the outer edge of each strip, and includes crosslinked rubber having a complex elastic modulus in a range of from 60 to 70 MPa.
