<p>The present invention relates to a structure for mounting mounting elements (40) to a side wall of a pneumatic tire. Pin holes (30) are formed in the side wall. The mounting elements (40) mounted in the pin holes (30) each comprise a pin member (42) and a head (44). The diameter (A2) of the pin members (42) is set to be greater than the inner diameter (A1) of the pin holes (30). To mount the mounting elements (40) to the pneumatic tire, the pin members (42) are inserted into the pin holes (30).</p>
