DRIVE
February 23, 2022
A pneumatic tire comprises a carcass ply extending between bead portions through a tread portion and sidewall portions, and turned up around a bead core from the inside to the outside of the tire in each of the bead portions, so as to form a pair of turnup portions and a main portion therebetween. In each the bead portion, a first apex rubber and a second apex rubber are disposed, wherein the first apex rubber is disposed between the turnup portion and the main portion, and the second apex rubber is disposed axially outside the turnup portion. A complex elastic modulus E*b of the second apex rubber is larger than a complex elastic modulus E*a of the first apex rubber. The cross-sectional width Wt in mm of the tire and the outer diameter Dt in mm of the tire satisfy the following conditions (1): Dt =< 59.078 x Wt0.498 and (2): Dt >= 59.078 x Wt0.460.
