A motorcycle tire comprising: a toroidal carcass, and a tread reinforcing layer disposed radially outside the carcass in a tread portion, the tread reinforcing layer comprising a pair of shoulder reinforcing parts each formed by winding a rubber-coated cord strip of at least one rubberized reinforcing cord covered with topping rubber, around one of shoulder regions, and a pair of middle reinforcing parts each formed by winding a rubber-coated cord strip, around one of middle regions axially inside the shoulder regions, wherein each of the middle reinforcing parts comprises a plurality of first inclining segments in which the rubber-coated cord strip is inclined to one side with respect to the tire circumferential direction, and a plurality of second inclining segments in which the rubber-coated cord strip is inclined to the other side opposite to the plurality of first inclining segments, with respect to the tire circumferential direction, wherein side edges of the first inclining segments are arranged so as not to contact with each other, and side edges of the second inclining segments are arranged so as not to contact with each other, whereby a mesh structure having a plurality of rhombic spaces surrounded by the first inclining segments and the second inclining segments is formed, and each of the shoulder reinforcing parts includes a shoulder spiral part in which the rubber-coated cord strip is wound spirally and circumferentially of the tire more than one turns, each of the middle reinforcing parts comprises a plurality of circumferential segments in which the rubber-coated cord strip extends in the tire circumferential direction continuously from the axially inner ends of the first inclining segments and second inclining segments, the plurality of circumferential segments includes a plurality of outer circumferential segments, and an axial distance Wa is smaller than 500 % of an axial distance Wb, wherein the axial distance Wa is a distance between the axially outermost reinforcing cord in the outer circumferential segment and the reinforcing cord in the shoulder reinforcing part which cord is adjacent in the tire axial direction to the axially outermost reinforcing cord,and the axial distance Wb is a distance between the reinforcing cords in the shoulder reinforcing part which cords are adjacent to each other in the tire axial direction, and wherein the rubber-coated cord strip forming the shoulder spiral part has only one reinforcing cord. a toroidal carcass, and a tread reinforcing layer disposed radially outside the carcass in a tread portion, the tread reinforcing layer comprising a pair of shoulder reinforcing parts each formed by winding a rubber-coated cord strip of at least one rubberized reinforcing cord covered with topping rubber, around one of shoulder regions, and a pair of middle reinforcing parts each formed by winding a rubber-coated cord strip, around one of middle regions axially inside the shoulder regions, wherein each of the middle reinforcing parts comprises a plurality of first inclining segments in which the rubber-coated cord strip is inclined to one side with respect to the tire circumferential direction, and a plurality of second inclining segments in which the rubber-coated cord strip is inclined to the other side opposite to the plurality of first inclining segments, with respect to the tire circumferential direction, wherein side edges of the first inclining segments are arranged so as not to contact with each other, and side edges of the second inclining segments are arranged so as not to contact with each other, whereby a mesh structure having a plurality of rhombic spaces surrounded by the first inclining segments and the second inclining segments is formed, and each of the shoulder reinforcing parts includes a shoulder spiral part in which the rubber-coated cord strip is wound spirally and circumferentially of the tire more than one turns, each of the middle reinforcing parts comprises a plurality of circumferential segments in which the rubber-coated cord strip extends in the tire circumferential direction continuously from the axially inner ends of the first inclining segments and second inclining segments, the plurality of circumferential segments includes a plurality of outer circumferential segments, and an axial distance Wa is smaller than 500 % of an axial distance Wb, wherein the axial distance Wa is a distance between the axially outermost reinforcing cord in the outer circumferential segment and the reinforcing cord in the shoulder reinforcing part which cord is adjacent in the tire axial direction to the axially outermost reinforcing cord,and the axial distance Wb is a distance between the reinforcing cords in the shoulder reinforcing part which cords are adjacent to each other in the tire axial direction, and wherein the rubber-coated cord strip forming the shoulder spiral part has only one reinforcing cord.
