TIRE
To provide a tire that is not only improved in durability, steering stability, and low rolling resistance in high-speed driving but also excellent in tire productivity. A tire including a pair of bead cores (11), a carcass including at least one carcass ply (12) extending between the pair of bead cores (11), a belt (13) including at least one belt layer placed outward in a tire radial direction of the carcass, and at least one belt reinforcement layer (14) placed outward in a tire radial direction of the belt (13), in which a reinforcement cord of at least one of the carcass ply (12) and the belt reinforcement layer (14) includes a cord using a polyamide multifilament including a polycondensate of a dicarboxylic acid including an aromatic dicarboxylic acid with a diamine.
PNEUMATIC TIRE
The pneumatic tire includes a carcass layer, a belt layer disposed on an outer side of the carcass layer in a radial direction, and a tread rubber disposed on an outer side of the belt layer in the radial direction. Additionally, the carcass layer has a cord angle of 80° or more and 100° or less. Additionally, the belt layer is formed by layering a first reinforcing belt, a second reinforcing belt that is narrower than the first reinforcing belt, and an auxiliary belt that is spaced apart from a tire equatorial plane and disposed between the carcass layer and the first reinforcing belt. Additionally, the first reinforcing belt and the second reinforcing belt have cord angles of 11° or more and 30° or less, and the auxiliary belt has a cord angle of 55° or more and 70° or less.

METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING PNEUMATIC TIRE
A method for manufacturing a pneumatic tire includes: a step of winding carcass plies around a molding drum to mold a carcass, wherein the carcass has a joint portion in which ends of each of the carcass plies in a tire circumferential direction are overlapped with each other, the method further includes a step of pasting a rubber tape that covers at least a part of the joint portion after winding the carcass ply, and the rubber tape has: a central portion pasted to an outside of the joint portion and extending with a constant thickness along the tire circumferential direction; and tapered portions individually extending from both ends of the central portion in the tire circumferential direction along the tire circumferential direction while reducing a thickness of each of the tapered portions, and having tip ends with an angle of 45 degrees or less.

Pneumatic radial tire
A ply of a carcass of a pneumatic radial tire includes a turn-up ply and a down ply. The turn-up ply includes: a main body portion disposed between a pair of bead cores; turn-up portions around the bead cores from an inside toward an outside in a tire width direction. The down ply extends up to an inside in a radial direction of the bead cores so as to cover the turn-up ply including the turn-up portions from an outside. A curvature is formed at either one of a down ply predetermined portion of the down ply, which covers a turn-up end portion of the turn-up portion of the down ply from an outside in the tire width direction, and a turn-up ply portion that covers the turn-up end portion of the turn-up portion in the main body portion of the turn-up ply from inside in the tire width direction.

TIRE SET AND TRICYCLE
A tire set for a tricycle having one first wheel and two second wheels includes one first tire to be mounted on the first wheel and two second tires to be mounted on the second wheels. Each of the second tires has a cornering power of 50% or more and less than 100% of a cornering power of the first tire.
Aircraft tire
Provided is an aircraft tire which has both satisfactory light weight and satisfactory separation durability of carcass ply ends. An aircraft tire (10) includes a pair of bead cores (1), and a carcass (2) extending between the pair of the bead cores (1). In this aircraft tire (10), the carcass (2) includes at least one layer of a turn-up ply (2a) which is composed of a main body (2aa) and folded portions (2ab), and at least one layer of a down ply (2b) which covers a tire width-direction outer side of the respective folded portions (2ab) of the turn-up ply (2a) and extends to at least a tire radial-direction inner side of the respective bead cores (1); rubber-cord reinforcing members (6) are each arranged between the main body (2aa) of an outermost turn-up ply (2a) and the folded portion (2ab) of the turn-up ply (2a) extending to a tire radial-direction outermost side, and between the folded portion (2ab) of the turn-up ply (2a) extending to the tire radial-direction outermost side and an innermost down ply (2b); and cords of the rubber-cord reinforcing members (6) have an elongation at break of not less than 30%.
