PNEUMATIC TIRE

To provide a pneumatic tire that allows, on the precondition that shock burst resistance performance is ensured, excellent high-speed durability performance to be delivered even in a case where a band-like sound absorbing member is installed in a tire cavity. A tread average thickness (A) in a tire width direction region (X) of a center land portion (22) where a center cover layer (34b) is disposed, a tread average thickness (B) in a tire width direction region (Y) of the center land portion (22) where the center cover layer (34b) is not disposed, and a tread average thickness (C) in tire width direction regions (Z) where second land portions (24, 26) located further on an outer side than the center land portion (22) in a tire width direction and adjacent to the center land portion (22) are defined and formed satisfy a relationship A < B < C.
