A pneumatic tire has a tread reinforcing layer comprising a net structure formed from a tape of rubber coated reinforcing cord(s). The net structure comprises first oblique segments and second oblique segments of the tape which intersect with each other, forming interspaces therebetween. The first oblique segment has a first axial outer part in which the angle of the tape with respect to the tire circumferential direction decreases toward one end in the tire axial direction of the net structure. The second oblique segment has a second axial outer part in which the angle of the tape with respect to the tire circumferential direction decreases toward the above-said one end of the net structure. The first axial outside part is connected to the second axial outside part directly or through a circumferential segment of the tape.

In a pneumatic tire, a plurality of belt layers disposed on an outer circumferential side of a carcass layer in a tread portion are formed of steel cords each having a 1×M structure formed of a number of wire strands. The number of wire strands corresponds to one to six wire strands. A tensile modulus of elasticity of the steel cords under 5 N to 50 N load is 130 GPa or more. The steel cords are arranged inclined with respect to a tire circumferential direction to intersect each other in layers of the belt layers. The 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 helically along the tire circumferential direction.

The band ply includes band cords oriented at an angle not more than 5 degrees to the tire circumferential direction. The second development width is greater than the first development width.

A run-flat tire includes: sipes formed in blocks; a belt reinforcing layer on an outer side in a radial direction of a belt layer; and a side reinforcing rubber in sidewall portions, wherein a density of the sipes in a center block is from 0.10 cords/mm or greater to 0.30 cords/mm or smaller, the belt reinforcing layer includes a center reinforcing portion in which more center reinforcing portions are stacked at a center region than at positions other than the center region, a width Wc of the center reinforcing portion is within 0.5 Gr≤Wc≤2.5 Gr with respect to a thickness Gr of the side reinforcing rubber at the tire maximum width position, and an average width of the width Wc of the center reinforcing portion is from 50% or greater to 90% or smaller of a width of the center block.

A tire includes a central region configured to be mounted to a wheel and a crown region including a circumferential tread and a shear element disposed below the circumferential tread. The shear element includes an upper reinforcement layer, a lower reinforcement layer, and an elastic region disposed between the upper reinforcement layer and the lower reinforcement layer. A radial distance between the upper reinforcement layer and the lower reinforcement layer varies along an axial width of the tire. The tire also includes an intermediate region extending from the central region to the crown region.

On a tread of the pneumatic tire, circumferential grooves extending along the tire circumferential direction are formed. The spiral belt has a reinforcing cord wound in the tire circumferential direction. The tensile elongation at break of the reinforcing cord is 10 cN/dtex or more, and the elongation at break of the reinforcing cord is 13% or less. The spiral belt is formed by winding a cord unit, in which a plurality of reinforcing cords are arranged along the tire width direction, around the tire circumferential direction. The width of the cord unit in the tire width direction is narrower than the width GW of the circumferential groove in the tire width direction.
