This tire is provided with: a tread member (10) on which a ground contact surface is formed from elastomers having viscoelastic characteristics that change with the application of an electric or magnetic field; and multiple electrodes (12a, 12b) which are arranged spaced away from each other, disposed inside of the tread member (10) or inside of a tire-configuring member positioned radially inwards from the tread member (10) and which apply an electric field to the ground contact surface of the tread member (10). Thus, an electric field can be applied to the ground contact surface side of the tread member (10), changing the viscoelastic characteristics of the elastomers that form the ground contact surface of the tread member (10) and modifying hysteresis loss near the ground contact surface of the tread member (10). |
