Patent ID: 7975741

Claim:
A pneumatic tire comprising: a carcass layer for reinforcing a portion between a pair of annular beads; and a sidewall rubber which is disposed on an outside of the carcass layer in a widthwise direction of the tire and in which a rubber ribbon is spirally wound in plural turns along a circumferential direction of the tire so that each turn is deviated in a direction radially outward of the tire, wherein the rubber ribbon is a wide rubber ribbon having a width of 20 to 100 mm, and wound in a radially outward direction of the tire such that an inner end of the outermost turn of the spirally wound wide rubber ribbon disposed on the outermost side in the radial direction of the tire is located at a position toward an axis of the tire relative to the tire maximum width position and a cross section height h, which is a distance in the radial direction measured from a tread surface at the tire equator to the inner end of the outermost turn of the spirally wound wide rubber ribbon, is 55% or more with respect to an entire tire cross section height H, wherein shoulder portions connect tread portions to radially outer ends of sidewall portions and the tire maximum width position is located at the sidewall portions.
