Patent ID: 8869856

Claim:
A pneumatic tire comprising a tread part, a sidewall part, a bead part, a carcass extending from said tread part to said bead part through said sidewall part, and a breaker part disposed at an outside of said carcass in a tire radial direction, wherein each of tread rubber, breaker rubber, and sidewall rubber formed on said tread part, said breaker part, and said sidewall part, respectively, has a volume specific resistivity of 1×10 8 Ω·cm or more, said pneumatic tire further comprising a bead part rubber contacting a lower end of said carcass and disposed at a region contacting a rim flange of the bead part, a shoulder part electroconductive rubber layer disposed at a lower region of both edges of said breaker, between the carcass ply and an edge portion of the breaker part and an outer end of the sidewall part, said shoulder part electroconductive rubber layer having a radially inner end that is positioned radially outward of a height which correlates with a maximum section width of the tire, said electroconductive rubber layer not extending to the bead part rubber, a coating rubber coating an upper part of said breaker so as to have a region of at least 5 mm for contact with said shoulder part electroconductive rubber layer and so as to have a thickness of 0.2 mm or more and 3.0 mm or less, and a conduction rubber contacting the coating rubber and embedded in said tread part so as to be extended to the tire circumferential direction and so as to be at least partially exposed to a surface of a tread, the width W of said conduction rubber in a tire width direction being in a range from 0.2 mm to 10 mm, wherein each of ply rubber forming said carcass, said shoulder part electroconductive rubber layer, said coating rubber, said conduction rubber, and said bead part rubber has a volume specific resistivity of less than 1×10 8 Ω·cm, and wherein one bead part is electrically connected with the other bead part through each ply of rubber forming said carcass, said shoulder part electroconductive rubber layers, said coating rubber, and said bead part rubbers.
