A pneumatic tire includes a carcass whose cords are coated with coating rubber, at least one of a bead core and a bead filler whose outer surface which faces the carcass is formed from a resin that is harder than the coating rubber, and a buffer layer that is disposed between the coating rubber and the resin, and that reduces shear stress generated in the coating rubber.

A pneumatic tire comprises a carcass ply extending between bead portions through a tread portion and sidewall portions, and turned up around a bead core from the inside to the outside of the tire in each of the bead portions, so as to form a pair of turnup portions and a main portion therebetween. In each the bead portion, a first apex rubber and a second apex rubber are disposed. The first apex rubber is disposed between the turnup portion and the main portion. The second apex rubber is disposed axially outside the turnup portion. A complex elastic modulus b of the second apex rubber is larger than that of the first apex rubber. The cross-sectional width wt in mm of the tire and the outer diameter Dt in mm of the tire satisfy the following conditions Dt=<59.078×wt.sup.0.498 and Dt>=59.078×wt.sup.0.460.

A heavy goods vehicle tire has a radial carcass reinforcement, made up of a single layer of metal reinforcing elements anchored in each of the beads by a turn-up around a bead wire. The turn-up of the carcass reinforcement layer and the main part of the carcass reinforcement layer are coupled, and a passive radiofrequency communication module is placed facing the coupling region at the interface between two layers of rubber compounds.

Provided is a heavy-duty pneumatic tire in which not only occurrence of a damage of CBU but also occurrence of pulling-out of a carcass ply can be inhibited, and which has excellent durability. In the tire, beads each include a cover enclosing at least a part of a core. The cover is located, between the core and the carcass ply, in a portion at which the carcass ply encloses the core. The cover is composed of one cover ply including a large number of aligned cover cords and a cover topping rubber covering the cover cords. A ratio of a distance between the cover cords to an outer diameter of a carcass cord is not lower than 0.35 and not higher than 0.85. A difference between a hardness of the cover topping rubber and a hardness of a carcass topping rubber is not less than 5 and not greater than 5.

A heavy goods vehicle tire has a radial carcass reinforcement, made up of a single layer of metal reinforcing elements anchored in each of the beads by a turn-up around a bead wire.

The invention relates to a wire coat rubber composition for coating metal wires in a tire, the rubber composition comprising from 60 to 100 phr of natural rubber, from 0 to 40 phr of synthetic polyisoprene, from 40 to 70 phr of oxidized carbon black, up to 5 phr of a resin and up to 8 phr of oil.
