Patent ID: 7546863

Claim:
A pneumatic tire provided with a reinforcement rubber layer extending from a bead portion along a sidewall portion, inside the sidewall portion thereof, wherein: a rubber composition forming the entire reinforcement rubber layer has a loss tangent (tan δ) of 0.01 to 0.25 when measured at a temperature of 60° C., a JIS-A hardness of 70 to 95 when measured at a temperature of 23° C., and a breaking elongation not less than 200% when measured at a temperature of 23° C. in a tensile test, the reinforcement rubber layer extends from a bead core at the bead portion along the sidewall portion, and beyond a widest-width position of the tire, and reaches a shoulder portion of the tire, the rubber composition forming the reinforcement rubber layer is one formed in a manner that 20 to 120 weight parts of silica, and 0 to 60 weight parts of carbon black are mixed with 100 weight parts of rubber, and the total of the weight parts of silica and carbon black in the rubber composition is between 65 and 105.
