Abstract
A pneumatic radial tire includes a carcass layer consisting of at least one carcass ply having cords embedded therein and extending substantially in radial directions, a tread arranged radially outwardly of the carcass layer, and a belt layer consisting of at least tow layers of belt plies having cords embedded therein intersecting with each other at angles within 10.degree.-40.degree.. The tire comprises a reinforcing layer arranged between the carcass layer and the belt ply arranged radially outermost and consisting of at most two layers of reinforcing plies having cords embedded therein substantially in parallel with an equatorial plane. Both outer ends of the reinforcing layer are positioned inwardly, in width directions, of locations spaced apart one fifth of a tread width of the tire from shoulder ends. Outer ends of at least one reinforcing ply are positioned inwardly, in the width directions, of outermost ends of main grooves in the tread between center ribs and side ribs. The side ribs are formed with a plurality of traverse grooves spaced apart from each other in circumferential directions and having both ends opening into the main grooves.
