Abstract
In a standard state of a tire, a contour of the tire side surface has a triangular portion projecting outside from a norm arc, which is a arc passing through a maximum width point P of a tire and tangentially contacting with the flange, and a portion recessing from the norm arc. The height (h ) of a maximum projecting point of the triangular projecting portion from a bead base line is 0.85˜1.15 times of the height (h ) of the end of a carcass folded portion. The height (h ) of a maximum recessing point of the recessing portion is smaller than the height (h ), and is 0.30˜0.90 times of the height (h ). A maximum boss distance (q ) from the norm arc and the maximum recess distance (q ) from the norm arc are respectively 0.001˜0.040 times of the tire cross section width (W).
