A pneumatic tire includes: an air permeation preventive layer disposed in the inner surface of the tire; a belt layer buried in a tread part; and a cord layer formed by arranging a plurality of cords. The cord layer is disposed between the air permeation preventive layer and the belt layer, and extends to a bead part side further from a tire maximum width position. At least a part of the cord layer is located close to the outer surface of the tire, at a position closer to the bead part side than the tire maximum width position, so that the distance between the cords and the outer surface of the tire is not more than 2 mm.

A tire includes a pair of beads; a carcass that is extended on and between the beads on both sides; and a pair of strips that extend almost outward from the beads along the carcass in the radial direction. The beads include cores, first apexes, and second apexes. The carcass includes a carcass ply, and the carcass ply includes a main portion and turned-up portions. The turned-up portions are disposed between the first apexes and the second apexes. The turned-up portions contact with the main portion in portions radially outward of outer ends of the first apexes. A position of an outer end of each strip is equal, in the radial direction, to a position Pb at which the maximum width is obtained, or the outer end of each strip is disposed radially inward of the position Pb at which the maximum width is obtained.

A non-pneumatic tire has a crown region and a pair of sidewall regions, including a first sidewall region and a second sidewall region. The non-pneumatic tire includes a pair of beads, including a first bead and a second bead, and a toroidal element. The toroidal element includes an inner region, an outer region, and a central region. At least a portion of the central region is more elastic than the inner and outer regions. The toroidal element includes a crown portion extending across the crown region of the non-pneumatic tire, a first sidewall portion extending along at least a portion of the first sidewall region of the non-pneumatic tire, and a second sidewall portion extending along at least a portion of the second sidewall region of the non-pneumatic tire. The toroidal element is pre-stressed such that when the non-pneumatic tire is mounted to a rim, the first sidewall portion of the toroidal element exerts a first axially outward force of at least 1000 pounds against the rim, and such that the second sidewall portion of the toroidal element exerts a second axially outward force of at least 1000 pounds against the rim.

A tire includes at least one body defining a plurality of body ply layers, and a toroidal element located between the body ply layers. The toroidal element includes inner and outer regions formed by the body ply layers, and a central region formed by an inner rubber component located between the body ply layers. At least a portion of the central region is more elastic than the inner and outer regions. The toroidal element includes a first sidewall portion extending along at least a portion of the first sidewall region of the tire, and a second sidewall portion extending along at least a portion of the second sidewall region of the tire. The toroidal element is pre-stressed such that the first sidewall portion of the toroidal element exerts a first axially outward force, and such that the second sidewall portion of the toroidal element exerts a second axially outward force.

A pneumatic tire including: a cylindrical annular structure; a rubber layer, which will become a tread portion, provided along a circumferential direction of the annular structure on an outer side of the annular structure; a carcass portion provided on at least both sides in a width direction of the cylindrical structure including the annular structure and the rubber layer; and an extending portion that extends from both sides in the width direction of the annular structure farther outward in the width direction than a ground contact edge on the outer side in the width direction of the tread portion, and that is provided in plurality on both sides in the width direction along the circumferential direction of the annular structure.

Tire having two beads having an annular reinforcing structure and a carcass reinforcement anchored in the two beads by a turn-up. Each bead has a bead rubber filler extending a radial distance from the radially innermost point of the annular reinforcing structure of the bead. The radial distance is not more than 10% of the tire's radial height. A sidewall has rigidifying metal reinforcing elements oriented along an angle not more than 10 to the circumferential direction and positioned with the distance between the radially innermost point of the annular reinforcing structure and the radially outer end of the rigidifying reinforcement between 20% and 40%, inclusive, of the tire's radial height and with the distance between the radially innermost point of the annular reinforcing structure and the radially inner end of the rigidifying reinforcement not more than 20% of the tire's radial height.

[Object] A tire 2 that has quietness and durability improved without reducing steering stability, is provided.

[Solution] The tire 2 includes: a pair of beads 12; a carcass 14 that is extended on and between the beads 12 on both sides; and a pair of strips 24 that extend almost outward from the beads 12 along the carcass 14 in the radial direction. The beads 12 include cores 34, first apexes 36, and second apexes 38. The carcass 14 includes a carcass ply 44, and the carcass ply 44 includes a main portion 46 and turned-up portions 48. The turned-up portions 48 are disposed between the first apexes 36 and the second apexes 38. The turned-up portions 48 contact with the main portion 46 in portions radially outward of outer ends 42 of the first apexes 36. A position of an outer end 64 of each strip 24 is equal, in the radial direction, to a position Pb at which the maximum width is obtained, or the outer end 64 of each strip 24 is disposed radially inward of the position Pb at which the maximum width is obtained.
