HEAVY-DUTY TIRE

A heavy-duty tire comprises a tread reinforcing belt comprising first to fourth belt plies each composed of belt cords inclined with respect to the tire equatorial plane. The first radial distance L1 between the belt cords of the third belt ply and the belt cords of the fourth belt ply is not more than the second radial distance L2 between the belt cords of the second belt ply and the belt cords of the third belt ply. The cord count E4 of the fourth belt ply is smaller than the cord count E3 of the third belt ply.
