PNEUMATIC TIRE

摘要

A proper balance between ride comfort and steering stability is achieved. A pneumatic tire (1) has a band layer (9) comprising a band ply (9A) where band cords are arranged at an angle of not more than 5 deg. with respect to the circumferential di recti on of the ti re on the radially outer side of a belt layer (7). The band layer (9) is formed of a crown band ply (9C) and a shoulder band ply (9S), wherein the crown band ply is arranged in the central portion of the belt layer (7) and composed of low modulus cords (9Y1) and the shoulder band ply is composed of high modulus cords (9Y2) and arranged in both sides thereof. A tread rubber (2G) is formed of a soft crown rubber portion (2C) arranged in the radially outer side of the crown band ply(9C) and a hard shoulder rubber portion (2S) arranged in the radially outer side of the shoulder band ply (9S).
