Patent ID: 7987882

Claim:
A heavy-duty radial tire comprising a radial carcass having a crown region, two plies of narrow belt layers on an inner layer side, and at least one ply of wide belt layer on an outer layer side, which is larger in width than said narrow belt layers, wherein said narrow belt layers and said at least one wide belt layer are sequentially arranged on an outer periphery of said crown region, said two narrow belt layers comprising belt cords intersecting a tire equatorial plane at an intersection angle, which is smaller than that of belt cords of said wide belt layers, said belt cords of the belt layers extending in directions intersecting each other between adjacent layers, said narrow belt layers including an innermost layer with side edges that are convex radially outwards, and said innermost layer having an inner peripheral surface with a radius at said side edges, said radius being not larger than a reference radius of the inner peripheral surface of the innermost layer at its intersection with said tire equatorial plane, wherein said narrow belt layers have a width that is within a range of 0.25 to 0.5 times of a tread width (TW), and the intersection angle of the belt cords relative to the tire equatorial plane is within a range of 3° to 10°.
