It is ensured the strength of a welded section in a tire that is configured by welding tire constituent members formed of a thermoplastic material. A tire has a first welded portion, in which one section of one tire constituent member and one section of another tire constituent member are both melted and welded, and a second welded portion, which is formed by welding a welding-use thermoplastic material to the surface of the first welded portion, whereby the strength of the joint section is ensured.

A pneumatic tire including: a tire body including a tire side portion whose outer surface is composed of side-covering rubber; a communication device embedded in the tire side portion of the tire body. When a region in which the communication device is located in the tire radial direction and the tire circumferential direction of the tire side portion is defined as a device region, the outer surface of the tire side portion protrudes in the device region, and thickness of the side-covering rubber is thinner in the device region than around the device region.
