In a pneumatic tire 2 according to the present invention, in the vicinity of a bead 10 portion, a main portion 42 of a carcass ply 40 is passed through the vicinity of a neutral surface. A tensile force and a compressive force applied to the main portion 42 are small. In the tire 2, occurrence of pinch cut is suppressed. In addition, this structure alleviates a force applied to the main portion 42 even during run-flat running. In the tire 2, damage is less likely to occur even during run-flat running for a long period of time. The tire 2 has excellent run-flat durability. Furthermore, in the tire 2, an increase in the vertical stiffness constant or weight thereof is suppressed.

In the tire 2, fillers 10 are layered over clinches 8 in portions outward of a carcass 14 in the axial direction. A carcass ply 50 is turned up around cores 44. Turned-up portions 50a are disposed between the fillers 10 and apexes 46. Each clinch 8 has a maximum thickness Tcx that is measured along a line normal to an inner surface, in the axial direction, of the clinch 8. A ratio of a thickness Tf1 of the filler 10 to a sum of the thickness Tf1 and the thickness Tcx is greater than or equal to 0.1 and not greater than 0.6. A percentage of a complex elastic modulus E*f of the filler 10 relative to a complex elastic modulus E*a of the apex 46 is greater than or equal to 70% and not greater than 125%.

Tire comprising a carcass reinforcement made up of two layers

The tire has a load index that is at least 118 and two layers of reinforcing elements. Each of the layers has a breaking force per unit width that is higher than 2900 daN/dm. A minimum strength per unit width, measured for an elongation of less than 10%, of the second layer is greater than 20% of the minimum strength per unit width, measured for an elongation of less than 10%, of the first layer. The reinforcing elements of the first layer have a thread count that is higher than 300 tex. The reinforcing elements of the two layers have a thread count of less than 750 tex. The elongation of the reinforcing elements of the second layer are greater than 8% under a force of 20 daN and the secant elastic modulus values under tension at 10% elongation, Mt, Mj, satisfy the relationship Mt/Mj1.

A pneumatic tyre includes a tread portion, two axially spaced sidewall portions extending radially inwardly from the tread portion, at least one of the sidewall portions being provided with a side protector that protrudes axially outwardly and having an inner end located radially outwardly of a tyre-maximum-width position, and two axially spaced bead portions connected to radially inward of the respective sidewall portions. Each bead portion includes a bead apex rubber having an outer end in the tyre radial direction being located radially inwardly of the tyre-maximum-width position. A radial length of a tyre inner region from a bead baseline to the outer end of each bead apex rubber is in a range of from 0.8 to 1.2 times a radial length of a tyre outer region from a radially outermost position of the tread portion to the inner end of the side protector.

A recessed portion is formed in each tire side portion of an agricultural machinery pneumatic tire. Rigidity at the part of each tire side portion where the recessed portion is formed is reduced. This enables each tire radial direction outside portion to be made to tilt over toward tire width direction outside with the recessed portion as a point of origin without reducing the internal pressure, enabling the ground contact width of a tread portion to be enlarged. Since there is no need to intentionally reduce the internal pressure in order to reduce the ground contact pressure, bead portions do not tilt over more than necessary, and there is no reduction in the durability of the bead portions.

A pneumatic tire has a carcass layer, a side wall rubber which forms an outer surface of a side wall portion, and a rim strip rubber which forms an outer surface of a bead portion. The rim strip rubber extends in a tire radial direction between the carcass layer and the side wall rubber. A height of the rim strip rubber on the basis of an outer diameter position of a bead core buries in the bead portion is equal to or more than 70% of a height of a tire outer diameter position. A thickness Tw of the rim strip rubber at the tire maximum width position is smaller than the maximum thickness Tm of the rim strip rubber which is closer to an outer side in the tire radial direction than the tire maximum width position.
