A pneumatic tire whose mounting location on a vehicle is specified and which comprises a belt disposed radially outside the carcass and composed of belt cords laid at an angle of from 15 to 40 degrees with respect to the tire circumferential direction, and a band disposed radially outside the belt and composed of first and second band cords laid at an angle of not more than 5 degrees with respect to the tire circumferential direction. The band comprises an inboard first part composed of the first band cord having a first modulus M1, and an outboard second part composed of the second band cord having a second modulus M2 more than the first modulus M1. The number of laminated plies of the band in the inboard first part is more than the number of laminated plies or a single ply of the band in the outboard second part.

A pneumatic tire comprises a carcass layer, a belt layer radially outward of the carcass layer, and a tread rubber radially outward of the belt layer. A belt cord angle of a belt layer large angle belt is 45-70, opposite sign belt cord angles of cross belts are 10-45, and a reinforcing layer belt cord angle is within 5 of a circumferential direction. A reinforcing layer width Ws and a carcass cross-sectional width Wca satisfy 0.60Ws/Wca0.70. The reinforcing layer is radially outward of the cross belts which are radially outward of the large angle belt. A wider cross belt width Wb2 of the pair and Wca satisfy 0.79Wb2/Wca0.89. Wb2 and Wca satisfy 0.79Wb2/Wca0.89. Relationships 0.79Wb2/Wca0.84 and either 0.82TW/Wca0.92 or 0.79TW/SW0.89 are satisfied, where TW is a tread width and SW is a total tire width.

A pneumatic tire comprises a carcass layer, a belt layer radially outward of the carcass layer, and a tread rubber radially outward of the belt layer. The belt layer is formed by laminating a large angle belt having a belt-cord angle of 45-70, a pair of cross belts having belt cord angles of 10-45 with opposite sign belt cord angles, and a reinforcing layer having a belt cord angle satisfying 5 relative to a circumferential direction. A reinforcing layer width Ws and a carcass cross-sectional width Wca satisfy 0.60Ws/Wca0.70. A wider cross belt width Wb2 of the pair of cross belts and the carcass width Wca satisfy 0.79Wb2/Wca0.89. Relationships 0.79Wb2/Wca0.84 and either 0.82TW/Wca0.92 or 0.79TW/SW0.89 are satisfied, where TW is a tread width and SW is a total tire width.
