Claim Text:
1. A heavy duty tire, comprising: a carcass provided in a toroidal shape across a pair of bead portions; a belt provided on the outer side in the tire radial direction of a crown portion of the carcass and constituted of a plurality of belt layers each made of cords coated with belt coating rubber; a circumferential belt and a slant belt constituting the belt, the circumferential belt including at least one circumferential belt layer made of cords extending in the tire circumferential direction, the slant belt being provided on the outer side in the tire radial direction of the circumferential belt and including at least one slanted belt layer made of cords extending to be inclined with respect to the tire circumferential direction; and a cushion rubber provided between the carcass and a belt layer having the largest width in the tire width direction among the plurality of belt layers and in a region on the outer side in the tread width direction of the belt layers positioned on the inner side in the tire radial direction than the belt layer having the largest width, characterized in that: the cushion rubber has a belt adjacent portion and a main body portion, the belt adjacent portion being adjacent to end portions on the outer side in the tire width direction of the belt layers positioned on the inner side in the tire radial direction than the belt layer having the largest width, the main body portion being provided to be adjacent to the belt adjacent portion and extend on the inner side in the tire radial direction along the carcass; and provided that E1′, E2′ and E3′ represent storage modulus values of the belt adjacent portion of the cushion rubber, the main body portion of the cushion rubber, and the belt coating rubber, respectively, E1′, E2′ and E3′ satisfy following relationship, wherein the storage modulus values are measured according to the standards of JIS K 6394 (testing methods of dynamic properties for vulcanized rubber and thermoplastic rubber) under conditions of dynamic strain: 2% and the room temperature.
