A pneumatic tire construction is described suitable for severe loading conditions. The tire includes a bead portion further having an apex which extends radially outward of the bead core, and a first turnup pad located adjacent said chafer, and a second turnup pad located adjacent said first turnup pad, wherein the first turnup pad has a G′less than the G′of the second turnup pad. Alternatively, the first turnup pad may be located adjacent to the rim flange and the second turnup pad may be located axially inward of the first pad. The second turnup pad is preferably thicker and longer than the first turnup pad.
