Abstract
A pneumatic tire comprises a carcass layer, a belt layer radially outward of the carcass layer, and a tread rubber radially outward of the belt layer. The belt layer is formed by laminating a large angle belt having a belt-cord angle of 45°-70°, a pair of cross belts having belt cord angles of 10°-45° with opposite sign belt cord angles, and a reinforcing layer having a belt cord angle satisfying ±5° relative to a circumferential direction. A reinforcing layer width Ws and a carcass cross-sectional width Wca satisfy 0.60≤Ws/Wca≤0.70. A wider cross belt width Wbof the pair of cross belts and the carcass width Wca satisfy 0.79≤Wb/Wca≤0.89. Relationships 0.79≤Wb/Wca≤0.84 and either 0.82≤TW/Wca≤0.92 or 0.79≤TW/SW≤0.89 are satisfied, where TW is a tread width and SW is a total tire width.
