The pneumatic tire has an annular carcass formed by using a carcass treat in which a carcass cord arranged along the tire width direction is covered with a rubber material, and a belt layer formed by arranging a resin covered cord outside the tire radial direction of the carcass and covered with a resin material along the tire circumferential direction. The treat strength of the carcass treat along the tire width direction is 10 kN/25 mm or more.

A pneumatic radial tire includes belt layers disposed on an outer circumferential side of a carcass layer in a tread portion. The belt layers are formed of steel cords in a N+M structure in which the number of wire strands N of an inner layer is 2 to 4 and the number of wire strands M of an outer layer is 2 to 7. A twist direction of the inner layer is different from a twist direction of the outer layer. The steel cords are inclined with respect to a tire circumferential direction to intersect each other in layers of the belt layers. A belt cover layer disposed on an outer circumferential side of the belt layers is formed of organic fiber cords having elongation of 2.0% to 4.0% under 2.0 cN/dtex load. The organic fiber cords are wound spirally along the tire circumferential direction.

A pneumatic tire is configured by a resin tire frame member. An inner face of the tire frame member is provided with an attachment section. The attachment section is configured so as to attach a sound-absorbing material inside the tire frame member. The sound-absorbing material employs, for example, a spongey material, and the sound-absorbing material is capable of absorbing sound.

Pneumatic vehicle tyres which have a bandage ply (8) comprising two lateral portions (10) and a center portion (12) in the axial extension, wherein each lateral portion (10) has at least one hybrid reinforcement, and wherein the center portion (12) has at least one reinforcement which has a lower modulus of elasticity than the hybrid reinforcements of the lateral portions (10), in each case measured as per ASTM D885M at an elongation of 3%. It is the object of the invention to provide a tyre with reduced rolling resistance and good high-speed characteristics with reliable producibility. This is achieved in that the hybrid reinforcement is a hybrid cord made of at least one low-modulus thread and one high-modulus thread twisted together, and in that the hybrid reinforcement has a fineness of at most 550 dtex, preferably at most 500 dtex, particularly preferably at most 460 dtex, and in that the reinforcement of the center portion (12) has a fineness of at most 1100 dtex, preferably at most 600 dtex, particularly preferably at most 500 dtex.
