A run-flat radial tire is provided with a side reinforcement rubber layer that extends in the tire radial direction along an inner face of a carcass and an angled belt layer that is provided at the tire radial direction outer side of the carcass. An overlap length L between a maximum width angled belt layer and the side reinforcement rubber layer satisfies the relationship L>0.14 SH with a tire section height SH. A thickness GD of the side reinforcement rubber layer at a position that is 14% of the tire section height to the tire axial direction inner side from a tire axial direction end portion of the maximum width angled belt layer and a thickness GA of the side reinforcement rubber layer at a maximum width position of the carcass satisfy the relationship GD/GA0.3.

Pneumatic Tire

The present technology provides a pneumatic tire having a strip-shaped sound-absorbing member bonded on the inner surface of the tire includes a plurality of belt layers, two or more belt cover layers, one or more belt edge cover layers, and a thread rubber layer. The thickness of the tread rubber layer is substantially uniform in the region X where the sound-absorbing member is located so that the difference between the thickness t1 at an end of the sound-absorbing member and the thickness t0 at the position of the tire equator is equal to or less than 0.5 mm. The thickness of the tread rubber layer is smaller in the region Y where the belt edge cover layer is located than in the region X so that the difference between the minimum value t2 of the thickness in the region Y and the thickness t0 ranges from 1.0 to 4.0 mm.
