A pneumatic radial tire has a nominal section width of 255 mm or more, and an outer diameter of 720 mm or more. At least one carcass layer is constructed between paired right and left bead cores with the two end portions of the carcass layer being folded back from the inside to the outside of the tire around the respective bead cores in a way that their corresponding bead fillers are enclosed in the two folded end portions thereof. The length of each bead filler in the radial direction of the tire is 5% to 20% of the section height of the tire. The carcass layer is formed of organic fiber cords each made of at least one type of organic fiber which has an expansion ratio of 1% to 5% when a load of 2.0 cN/dtex is applied to the organic fiber. A sheet-shaped rubber reinforcement layer with a thickness of 0.5 mm to 2 mm, whose rubber has a larger rigidity than that of the sidewall section, is interposed between the carcass layer and a sidewall section on each side of the tire.
