A pneumatic tire according to the invention includes: a pair of left and right beads 3 each including a bead cores 3a and bead fillers 3b; a carcass ply 5 extended around the bead cores 3a; and an inner liner 4 arranged on an inner peripheral side of the carcass ply 5, and is characterized in that the carcass ply 5 is wound up around the bead cores 3a from the outside in the direction of width of tire to the inside in the direction of width of tire, and a distortion restraining layer 7 configured to restrain distortion of the winding ends 5a of the carcass ply 5 is provided between the bead fillers 3b and the carcass ply 5 so as to overlap with a wind-up ends 5a of the carcass ply 5.

Tire having two beads having an annular reinforcing structure and a carcass reinforcement anchored in the two beads by a turn-up. Each bead has a bead rubber filler extending a radial distance from the radially innermost point of the annular reinforcing structure of the bead. The radial distance is not more than 10% of the tire's radial height. A sidewall has rigidifying metal reinforcing elements oriented along an angle not more than 10 to the circumferential direction and positioned with the distance between the radially innermost point of the annular reinforcing structure and the radially outer end of the rigidifying reinforcement between 20% and 40%, inclusive, of the tire's radial height and with the distance between the radially innermost point of the annular reinforcing structure and the radially inner end of the rigidifying reinforcement not more than 20% of the tire's radial height.

[Object] A tire 2 that has quietness and durability improved without reducing steering stability, is provided.

[Solution] The tire 2 includes: a pair of beads 12; a carcass 14 that is extended on and between the beads 12 on both sides; and a pair of strips 24 that extend almost outward from the beads 12 along the carcass 14 in the radial direction. The beads 12 include cores 34, first apexes 36, and second apexes 38. The carcass 14 includes a carcass ply 44, and the carcass ply 44 includes a main portion 46 and turned-up portions 48. The turned-up portions 48 are disposed between the first apexes 36 and the second apexes 38. The turned-up portions 48 contact with the main portion 46 in portions radially outward of outer ends 42 of the first apexes 36. A position of an outer end 64 of each strip 24 is equal, in the radial direction, to a position Pb at which the maximum width is obtained, or the outer end 64 of each strip 24 is disposed radially inward of the position Pb at which the maximum width is obtained.
