PNEUMATIC TIRE

A pneumatic tire 1 having a toroidal carcass 6 extending from a tread portion 2 through a sidewall portion 3 to a bead core 5 in a bead portion 4, is provided in the bead portion 4 with a bead reinforcing rubber layer 10 along an outer surface in the tire axial direction of the carcass 6. The bead reinforcing rubber layer 10 is formed from a band-like rubber strip 15 wound spirally circumferentially of the tire. In a tire meridian section including the tire rotational axis, each of the inner surface Si and the outer surface So in the tire axial direction of bead reinforcing rubber layer 10 has adjacent rubber strip 15's interfaces 16, and the number of the interfaces 16 on the inner surface Si is smaller than the number of the interfaces 16 in the outer surface So.
