Abstract
A tire/wheel assembly body enables reduction of road noise while reducing unsprung mass using a light-metal wheel. The tire/wheel assembly body is formed by installing a pneumatic tire on the light-metal wheel with a rigidity index (α) of 35 to 65 (1/rad). In the pneumatic tire, reinforcement layers are arranged at end portions of a belt layer.
