A pneumatic tyre comprising: a tread portion comprising circumferential land portions divided by circumferential grooves extending in a tyre circumferential direction; a pair of sidewall portions; a pair of bead portions having bead cores therein; a carcass extending between the bead cores of the pair of bead portions through the tread portion and the pair of sidewall portions; a belt layer disposed outwardly in a tyre radial direction of the carcass in the tread portion; and a band layer disposed outwardly in the tyre radial direction of the belt layer; wherein the band layer comprises a first layer covering an entire width of the belt layer, and second layers disposed outwardly in the tyre radial direction of the first layer and arranged separately in a tyre axial direction from one another, wherein each second layer is located inwardly in the tyre radial direction of a respective one of the circumferential land portions, wherein the second layers comprise axially spaced two outermost second layers arranged outermost in the tyre axial direction, wherein the outermost second layers have respective outer edges in the tyre axial direction, and wherein the respective outer edges of the outermost second layers are located inwardly in the tyre axial direction at a distance from respective outer edges of the belt layer, and wherein the belt layer comprises a first belt ply, and a second belt ply disposed outwardly in the tyre radial direction of the first belt ply and having a smaller width than that of the first belt ply, characterized in that the respective outer edges of the outermost second layers are located inwardly in the tyre axial direction at a distance from respective outer edges of the second belt ply, and in each circumferential land portion, the second layer has at least one axial edge that is away at a distance of equal to or more than 3.0 mm in the tyre axial direction from a groove-bottom reference point of one of the circumferential grooves located nearest to the at least one axial edge, the groove-bottom reference point being an intersection point between an extension line of a groove wall (Gs) of the circumferential groove adjacent to the axial edge and a line passing the deepest location of the groove bottom and being parallel to a ground-contacting surface of the circumferential land portion. a tread portion comprising circumferential land portions divided by circumferential grooves extending in a tyre circumferential direction; a pair of sidewall portions; a pair of bead portions having bead cores therein; a carcass extending between the bead cores of the pair of bead portions through the tread portion and the pair of sidewall portions; a belt layer disposed outwardly in a tyre radial direction of the carcass in the tread portion; and a band layer disposed outwardly in the tyre radial direction of the belt layer; wherein the band layer comprises a first layer covering an entire width of the belt layer, and second layers disposed outwardly in the tyre radial direction of the first layer and arranged separately in a tyre axial direction from one another, a first layer covering an entire width of the belt layer, and second layers disposed outwardly in the tyre radial direction of the first layer and arranged separately in a tyre axial direction from one another, wherein each second layer is located inwardly in the tyre radial direction of a respective one of the circumferential land portions, wherein the second layers comprise axially spaced two outermost second layers arranged outermost in the tyre axial direction, wherein the outermost second layers have respective outer edges in the tyre axial direction, and wherein the respective outer edges of the outermost second layers are located inwardly in the tyre axial direction at a distance from respective outer edges of the belt layer, and wherein the belt layer comprises a first belt ply, and a second belt ply disposed outwardly in the tyre radial direction of the first belt ply and having a smaller width than that of the first belt ply, characterized in that the respective outer edges of the outermost second layers are located inwardly in the tyre axial direction at a distance from respective outer edges of the second belt ply, and in each circumferential land portion, the second layer has at least one axial edge that is away at a distance of equal to or more than 3.0 mm in the tyre axial direction from a groove-bottom reference point of one of the circumferential grooves located nearest to the at least one axial edge, the groove-bottom reference point being an intersection point between an extension line of a groove wall (Gs) of the circumferential groove adjacent to the axial edge and a line passing the deepest location of the groove bottom and being parallel to a ground-contacting surface of the circumferential land portion.
