MOTORCYCLE TIRE
A motorcycle tire comprising: a carcass extending between a pair of bead portions 4 through a tread portion 2 and a pair of sidewall portions 3, and a band 7 disposed radially outside the carcass in the tread portion. The band 7 is composed of a ply of a spirally wound steel band cord 10, and the steel band cord 10 has a compressive stiffness of not more than 500 N/mm, a bending rigidity of not more than 15.0 g cm, and an elongation percentage at 49N of 0.5% to 2.5%.
Pneumatic Tire
A pneumatic tire includes a tread portion; sidewall portions; bead portions; a carcass layer disposed extending between the pair of bead portions; a belt layer of a plurality of layers disposed on an outer circumferential side of the carcass layer in the tread portion; and a band-like noise absorbing member adhered to a region corresponding to a tire inner surface of the tread portion along the tire circumferential direction interposed by an adhesive layer. The pneumatic tire further includes a belt cover layer being disposed on an outer circumferential side of the belt layer across an entire width of the belt layer, the belt cover layer including organic fiber cords arranged in the tire circumferential direction; and a rate of change of a dynamic loaded radius when traveling at 270 km/h with respect to a dynamic loaded radius when traveling at 30 km/h being restricted to 2.0% or less.

Pneumatic tire
A pneumatic tire comprises a carcass layer, a belt layer disposed on an outer side of the carcass layer in a tire radial direction, and a tread rubber disposed on the outer side of the belt layer in the tire radial direction. The belt layer is formed by laminating a pair of cross belts having a belt angle, as an absolute value, of not less than 10 and not more than 45 and having a belt angles of mutually opposite signs, and a circumferential reinforcing layer having a belt angle within a range of 5 with respect to a tire circumferential direction.

Tire
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.
