A motorcycle tire comprising: a tread portion configured to be curved into an arc shape that projects outward in a tire radial direction; a carcass having a toroidal shape; and a tread reinforcing layer disposed outward of the carcass in the tire radial direction and inward of the tread portion in the tire radial direction, wherein the tread reinforcing layer includes a crown region (Cr) and a pair of shoulder regions (Sh) on both outer sides of the crown region (Cr), characterized in that the tread reinforcing layer is formed by a rubber-coated cord strip being helically wound, the rubber-coated cord strip is formed by a plurality of reinforcing cords aligned with each other being covered with topping rubber, a distance (Ws) between the reinforcing cords which are adjacent to each other in the rubber-coated cord strip wound in each of the shoulder regions (Sh) is less than a distance (Wc) between the reinforcing cords which are adjacent to each other in the rubber-coated cord strip wound in the crown region (Cr), shoulder ends (Es) that are the number of the reinforcing cords per unit periphery length in each of the shoulder regions (Sh) are not less than crown ends (Ec) that are the number of reinforcing cords per unit periphery length in the crown region (Cr), the shoulder ends (Es) are 100% to 150% of the crown ends (Ec), and a distance (Lc) between the rubber-coated cord strips which are adjacent to each other in a tire axial direction in the crown region (Cr) is greater than a distance (Ls) between the rubber-coated cord strips which are adjacent to each other in the tire axial direction in each of the shoulder regions (Sh). a tread portion configured to be curved into an arc shape that projects outward in a tire radial direction; a carcass having a toroidal shape; and a tread reinforcing layer disposed outward of the carcass in the tire radial direction and inward of the tread portion in the tire radial direction, wherein the tread reinforcing layer includes a crown region (Cr) and a pair of shoulder regions (Sh) on both outer sides of the crown region (Cr), characterized in that the tread reinforcing layer is formed by a rubber-coated cord strip being helically wound, the rubber-coated cord strip is formed by a plurality of reinforcing cords aligned with each other being covered with topping rubber, a distance (Ws) between the reinforcing cords which are adjacent to each other in the rubber-coated cord strip wound in each of the shoulder regions (Sh) is less than a distance (Wc) between the reinforcing cords which are adjacent to each other in the rubber-coated cord strip wound in the crown region (Cr), shoulder ends (Es) that are the number of the reinforcing cords per unit periphery length in each of the shoulder regions (Sh) are not less than crown ends (Ec) that are the number of reinforcing cords per unit periphery length in the crown region (Cr), the shoulder ends (Es) are 100% to 150% of the crown ends (Ec), and a distance (Lc) between the rubber-coated cord strips which are adjacent to each other in a tire axial direction in the crown region (Cr) is greater than a distance (Ls) between the rubber-coated cord strips which are adjacent to each other in the tire axial direction in each of the shoulder regions (Sh).
