A pneumatic tire includes: paired bead portions respectively including annular bead cores and bead fillers disposed on an outer side in a tire radial direction of the bead cores; sidewall portions respectively extending outward in the tire radial direction from the bead portions; a tread portion connected to outer ends in the tire radial direction of the sidewall portions to form a tread; a carcass layer suspended between the bead portions; and a belt layer provided on an outer side in the tire radial direction of the carcass layer in the tread portion. The carcass layer has a first ply that continuously extends between the bead portions and that has opposite end portions and a second ply that extends from a position in contact with an inner peripheral face of an end portion, wherein the second ply has higher tensile strength than the tensile strength of the first ply.

A pneumatic tire is provided. In a meridian cross-section, an external contour shape of the bead core is a polygon formed by common tangent lines of a plurality of circumferential portions of a bead wire, the external contour shape includes a single vertex located toward the outside in a tire radial direction, an internal angle formed by two sides sandwiching the vertex is an acute angle, a bottom side of the external contour shape is inclined with respect to the tire lateral direction by from 2° to 9°, and the carcass layer is bent and folded back along a circumference of the bead core in a bead portion, a folded back portion of the carcass layer from a position of an outer end of the bead core in the tire radial direction extends toward a sidewall portion in contact with a body portion.

A tire includes a tread, a pair of sidewalls, a pair of beads, and a carcass. Each bead includes a core and an apex. In the tire in the normal state, a ratio (HA/HS) of a distance HA in a radial direction from a bead base line to an outer end PA of the apex to a tire cross-sectional height HS may not be less than 20% and/or may not be greater than 30%, and an angle of a line segment connecting between the outer end PA of the apex and a center PM of a width, in an axial direction, of a contact surface of the apex at which the apex is in contact with the core, relative to the bead base line, may not be less than 45° and/or may not be greater than 55°.

A run-flat tire includes a side reinforcing rubber layer, a first bead filler on an inner side of a carcass turned-up portion in a width direction, and a second bead filler on an outer side of the carcass turned-up portion in the width direction. A first bead filler height is 30% or less of a tire cross-sectional height SH. A second bead filler height is 50% or greater of the height SH. A cross-sectional area of the second bead filler is from 150% to 400% of a cross-sectional area of the first bead filler. A relationship (0.16×SH×LI−1100)≤S.sub.ALL≤(0.16×SH×LI−800) is satisfied, where S.sub.ALL represents a sum of cross-sectional areas of the side reinforcing rubber layer and the first and second bead fillers, and LI represents a load index.

In a pneumatic tire in which a carcass layer is turned up from a tire inner side to a tire outer side around a bead core, the carcass layer is formed of a reinforcing cord made of a polyester fiber cord, elongation at break of the reinforcing cord of the carcass layer ranges from 20% to 30%, and a transponder is disposed between a position of an outer side in a tire radial direction by 15 mm from an upper end of the bead core and a position of an inner side in the tire radial direction by 5 mm from an end of a belt layer.

A run-flat tire includes reinforcing rubber in a sidewall, first bead filler rubber disposed toward the inside of a folded back portion of a carcass layer in a lateral direction, and second bead filler rubber disposed toward the outside of the folded back portion in the lateral direction. The reinforcing rubber has a thickness from a rim base line to a position within 38% to 68% of a tire cross-sectional height being from 90% to 100% of a maximum thickness of the reinforcing rubber. In a range from a position of a rim check line to a position being 38% of the tire cross-sectional height from the rim base line, a total thickness of the reinforcing rubber, the first bead filler rubber, and the second bead filler rubber is from 100% to 140% of the maximum thickness of the reinforcing rubber.

A tire includes: a pair of beads having a bead core and a bead filler which extends to an outer side in the tire-radial direction of the bead core; a carcass ply including a ply body which extends from one bead core to another bead core, and a ply folding part which is folded back around the bead core; a steel side ply serving as a metal reinforcement layer provided between the ply folding part and the bead filler; and an RFID tag serving as an electronic component provided between the bead filler and the ply body.

A pneumatic tire includes a tread portion, sidewall portions, a pair of bead portions embedded with bead cores, and a carcass. The carcass includes a turned up ply including a main body portion extending between the bead cores, and a pair of turned up portions turned up around the bead cores from axially inside to outside. Each bead portion is provided with an inner apex rubber extending radially outward from the bead core between the main body portion and the turned up portion and an outer apex rubber arranged axially outside the turned up portion. The inner apex rubber has a radial height of from 18 to 30 mm. A buttress thickness D, a maximum width thickness E, and a bead thickness F satisfy Expressions (1) to (4):

E≥4.5 mm  (1)

F≥9.0 mm  (2)

E/D=0.6 to 0.9  (3)

F/E=1.7 to 2.2  (4).

A pneumatic tire includes a pair of bead portions. Each bead portion has a bead core, and a chafer rubber arranged axially inside the bead core and extending outward in a tire radial direction from a bead toe along a tire inner cavity surface. The chafer rubber is formed of a rubber composition not including fiber material for reinforcement.

In a pneumatic tire, at least one carcass layer mounted between a pair of bead portions is formed from a carcass cord formed of an organic fiber cord having filament bundles of organic fibers intertwined together, a fineness based on corrected mass of the carcass cord is from 4000 dtex to 8000 dtex, an intermediate elongation of the carcass cord at a sidewall portion under 1.0 cN/dtex load is from 3.3% to 4.2%, and a ratio G/R of an interlayer rubber gauge G between a body portion and a folded back portion to a cord diameter R of the carcass cord, at a contact region where the body portion and the folded back portion are in contact in the carcass layer, is from 0.50 to 0.60.
