A tire (2) of the present invention includes a pair of fillers (20) turned up around beads (10). Each filler (20) has multiple cords made of steel and aligned with each other. In the tire (2), an outer surface of a chafer (8) has a bottom surface (26) that contacts with a seat surface of a rim (30). When a reference line (M) represents a straight line that contacts with the bottom surface (26) in a cross-section obtained by cutting the tire at the plane perpendicular to the circumferential direction, the bottom surface (26) has a depression (66) that is shaped so as to project radially outward of the reference line (M). A ratio (D/L) of a maximum depth (D) of the depression (66) to a width L of the depression (66) is greater than or equal to 0.007 and not greater than 0.060.
