<p>Provided is a pneumatic tire with an annular decoration band and one or more marks on the outer surface of a tire side portion, wherein high visibility of the marks is maintained without detracting from the appearance of the tire, while the manufacturing costs of the vulcanization mold are reduced. The pneumatic tire of the present invention is provided with an annular decoration band (8), formed from a plurality of ridges (8a), and one or more marks (9) constituted by a predetermined character, symbol or design, on an outer surface (7a) of a tire side portion (7). The decoration band (8) is disposed to extend both inward and outward in the tire radial direction from a position corresponding to a turn back end (5c) of a carcass. The width of the decoration band (8) is narrower than a maximum length of the marks (9) in the tire radial direction. The marks (9) are disposed to overlap the decoration band (8) and to protrude beyond the decoration band (8) either inward or outward in the tire radial direction from a position of overlap with the decoration band (8).</p> |
