A tire having a central axis and a radius further includes a circumferential tread having a convex cross-section. The convex cross-section is defined by a radius that is less than a maximum radius of the tire. A pair of sidewalls extends from opposite sides of the circumferential tread. Each of the pair of sidewalls has a concave cross-section that is defined by a radius that is greater than a maximum radius of the convex cross-section of the circumferential tread.

The present invention aims to provide a pneumatic tire with sufficiently reduced rolling resistance. The pneumatic tire according to the present invention including a carcass having a carcass main portion extending from a tread portion via a sidewall portion to a bead portion in a toroidal shape and locked on a bead core embedded in the bead portion, and a belt disposed on a crown portion outer peripheral side of the carcass, characterized in that, when mounted on an applicable rim and put under a predetermined internal pressure no-load condition, a minimum value R1 of a curvature radius of a tire width direction cross-section in a tire radial direction outer portion of the carcass main portion positioned on an tire radial direction outer side than a position where a distance measured from a tire radial direction inner end of the carcass outwardly in the tire radial direction becomes ½ of a carcass cross-sectional height is 0.6 times or less of a minimum value R2 of the curvature radius of the tire width direction cross-section of a portion that, in the tire radial direction inner portion of the carcass main portion positioned on the tire radial direction inner side than the tire radial direction outer portion, bulges out in the tire width direction.

A tire includes: a pair of beads having a bead core and bead filler extending to an outer side in a tire-radial direction of the bead core; a carcass ply extending from one bead to another bead; an inner liner arranged at a tire inner cavity side of the carcass ply; and an electronic component unit pasted to a tire inner cavity side of the inner liner, in which the electronic component unit is arranged at a tire-radial direction position distanced at least 5.0 mm to the outer side in the tire-radial direction from a tire-radial direction outside end of the bead core.

A tire includes side protectors arranged in a sidewall portion. Each of the side protectors is provided with a groove. The groove includes a first inclined groove portion inclined to a first side with respect to the tire radial direction, or a second inclined groove portion inclined to a second side opposite to the first side with respect to the tire radial direction. The side protectors include first protectors each provided with the first inclined groove portion, and second protectors each provided with the second inclined groove portion.

A tire having a central axis and a radius further includes a circumferential tread having a convex cross-section. The convex cross-section is defined by a radius that is less than a maximum radius of the tire. A pair of sidewalls extends from opposite sides of the circumferential tread. Each of the pair of sidewalls has a concave cross-section that is defined by a radius that is greater than a maximum radius of the convex cross-section of the circumferential tread.

A tire includes side protectors arranged in a sidewall portion. Each of the side protectors is provided with a groove. The groove includes a first inclined groove portion inclined to a first side with respect to the tire radial direction, or a second inclined groove portion inclined to a second side opposite to the first side with respect to the tire radial direction. The side protectors include first protectors each provided with the first inclined groove portion, and second protectors each provided with the second inclined groove portion.

The aspect ratio of this tire 2 is not greater than 75%. The tire 2 includes: a carcass 12 extending from one bead 8 to the other bead 8; a belt 14 located between a tread 4 and the carcass 12; and a cushion layer 16 located between an end 54 of the belt 14 and the carcass 12. Each bead 8 includes a core 34 and an apex 36. The zone from the inner end of the cushion layer 16 to the outer end of the apex 36 is a flexible zone. The ratio of a length F in the radial direction of the flexible zone to a cross-sectional height A of the carcass 12 is not less than 0.25 and not greater than 0.4.

A tire includes a tread portion, a pair of bead cores, a carcass layer extended across the bead cores, and a belt layer disposed on an outer side of the carcass layer in a radial direction. A tire outer diameter OD (mm) is in a range 200?OD?660. A total tire width SW (mm) is in a range 100?SW?400. A tire internal volume V (m{circumflex over ()}3) is in a range 4.0?(V/OD)?10{circumflex over ()}6?60 with respect to the tire outer diameter OD (mm).

A tire includes: a pair of beads having a bead core and bead filler extending to an outer side in a tire-radial direction of the bead core; a carcass ply extending from one bead to another bead; an inner liner arranged at a tire inner cavity side of the carcass ply; and an electronic component unit pasted to a tire inner cavity side of the inner liner, in which the electronic component unit is arranged at a tire-radial direction position distanced at least 5.0 mm to the outer side in the tire-radial direction from a tire-radial direction outside end of the bead core.
