Abstract
A heavy duty pneumatic radial tire includes a carcass ply, in which a ply folding portion folding a bead core is successively disposed in a ply body. The ply folding portion includes a main portion folded along the bead core, and a winding-up portion extending continuously to the main portion and apart from the bead core. The winding-up portion extends with an inclination of an angle θ in a direction in which a diameter is increased inward in the tire axial direction, the angle θ being set to 20 to 65 degrees with respect to an upper surface in the radial direction of the bead core, a distance La from the upper surface in the radial direction of the bead core at the inner end point of the winding-up portion being set to 5 mm to 15 mm, and a distance Lb between the inner end point of the winding-up portion and the ply body being set to 1 mm to 5 mm.
