In a pneumatic tire, a partial tie rubber layer is disposed between a carcass layer and an innerliner layer in a limited manner across an entire region excluding end portions near a pair of bead portions; end surfaces on both sides in a tire lateral direction of the partial tie rubber layer are inclined surfaces that form an acute angle with respect to a surface of the partial tie rubber layer on the carcass layer side; and an inclination angle of the inclined surfaces with respect to the surface of the partial tie rubber layer on the carcass layer side is from 20° to 60°.

A non-pneumatic tire includes a lower ring having a first diameter and an upper ring having a second diameter greater than the first diameter. The upper ring is substantially coaxial with the lower ring. The non-pneumatic tire further includes support structure extending between the lower ring and the upper ring and a tread layer formed of a rubber material. The non-pneumatic tire also has a sidewall formed of the rubber material and extending seamlessly from the tread layer on a first side of the non-pneumatic tire.

A tire has a material diffusion barrier, and a method produces the same. In an embodiment, a method for producing a material diffusion barrier on a tire comprises exposing a surface of the tire to a cationic solution to produce a cationic layer on the surface. The method further comprises exposing the cationic layer to an anionic solution to produce an anionic layer on the cationic layer, wherein a layer comprises the cationic layer and the anionic layer. The layer comprises the material diffusion barrier.

The disclosed pneumatic tire includes a marking portion on an outer surface of a tire side portion, the marking portion including one or more markings that include a letter, a symbol, or a graphic. In a side view of the tire, the marking portion has a curved shape, linear ridges are arranged in the one or more markings of the marking portion, and all of the ridges in the marking portion are parallel.

A pneumatic tire is provided that enables communication performance and scratch resistance of a transponder to be improved, A transponder (20) that extends along a tire circumferential direction is embedded between a carcass layer (4) and an innerliner layer, and the transponder (20) is disposed between a position (P1) located on an outer side of and 15 mm away from an upper end (5e) of a bead core (5) in a tire radial direction and a position (P2) located on an inner side of and 5 mm away from an end (7e) of a belt layer (7)in the tire radial direction.
