DRIVE September 7, 2016

A pneumatic tire that makes steering stability, rolling resistance performance, and noise performance compatible includes a carcass toroidally extending between two bead portions; an inclined belt, with inclined belt layer(s) including cords that extend at an inclination relative to a tire circumferential direction, and a circumferential belt, with circumferential belt layer(s) including cords that extend along the tire circumferential direction, radially at an outer side of a crown portion of the carcass; and a tread at an outer side of the circumferential belt in the tire radial direction. An inclination angle of the cords in the inclined belt layers is 35° to 90°, the circumferential belt has a higher tire circumferential direction rigidity per unit width in a central region including a tire equator than in other regions, and in a surface region including the tire equator, the tread includes a land portion continuous in the tire circumferential direction.
