Provided is a pneumatic tire with which any change in steering stability between low-speed running and high-speed running is sufficiently minimized, and durability is also sufficiently improved. This pneumatic tire has a belt layer radially inward of the tread portion, wherein the ratio (tan δ/E*) of the loss tangent (tan δ) to the complex elastic modulus E*(MPa) of the rubber composition constituting the belt layer, as measured under the conditions of 70°C, frequency 10 Hz, initial distortion 5%, and dynamic distortion rate 1%, is 0.002 to 0.017 (inclusive), and the (formula 1) and (formula 2) are satisfied, where Wt (mm) is the cross-sectional width of the tire, Dt (mm) is the outside diameter, and the virtual volume V (mm3) is the volume of the space occupied by the tire, when the tire is installed on a standardized rim and the internal pressure is 250 kPa. 1700≤Dt2×π/4Wt≦2827.4V+1.5×107/Wt≦2.88×105
