PNEUMATIC TIRE

A pneumatic tire has a bead portion provided with a bead core and a bead apex rubber. The bead apex rubber extends radially outward from the radially outer surface of the bead core, and has a radially outer end not positioned in a first region. The first region is defined between a first radial line and a second radial line. The first radial line extends straight through a radially outer end of a contact area where the bead portion comes into contact with a flange of a wheel rim. The second radial line extends straight through a position spaced 10 mm axially outward from the radially outer end of the contact area.
