A pneumatic tire includes an annular tread portion extending in a tire circumferential direction, a pair of sidewall portions disposed on both sides of the tread portion, and a pair of bead portions disposed inward of the sidewall portions in a tire radial direction, and the sidewall portions have an average thickness set to range from 1.0 mm to 3.0 mm at a deflection region of each sidewall portion including a tire maximum width position. The bead portions have a bead base width set to range from 115% to 130% of a tread development width of the tread portion.

A pneumatic tire includes a run-flat reinforcing layer disposed on an inner side in a width direction of a carcass layer, and a second filler disposed between a turned back portion of the carcass layer and a rim cushion rubber. Additionally, a point on a tire outer circumferential surface is defined, the point is located at a position corresponding to 150% of a rim flange height from a measurement point of a rim diameter of a specified rim, a perpendicular line is defined, and the perpendicular line is drawn from the point to a tire inner circumferential surface. A rubber gauge (G1) of the run-flat reinforcing layer on the perpendicular line, and a rubber gauge (G2) of a region from the turned back portion of the carcass layer to a tire outer surface have the relationship 0<G1/G2≤0.65.

A tire in which an elongation at break and/or compounding of a rubber composition of a tread.

A control device of an electrified vehicle controls a drive motor that drives a tire-wheel assembly of a vehicle based on a torque target value set based on a state of the vehicle. A control device includes a torque command value calculation unit that calculates a torque command value based on a torque target value using a function representing inverse characteristics of transmission characteristics that represent a relationship between torque of a drive motor and acceleration of a vehicle body and that change according to a speed of a vehicle, which is caused by elasticity of a carcass portion of a tire of a tire-wheel assembly and viscosity in a tread of the tire, and a motor controller that controls the drive motor to output torque corresponding to the torque command value.
