PNEUMATIC TIRE

摘要

There is provided a pneumatic tire in which a belt reinforcement layer is placed and capable of increasing both riding comfort and steering stability. Circumferential bending rigidity of a contact belt ply 25 placed in contact with the belt reinforcement layer 35 is made higher than circumferential bending rigidity of a remote belt ply 24, and thus the belt reinforcement layer 35 having high circumferential bending rigidity and the contact belt ply 25 having next high circumferential bending rigidity are collected near a neutral axis of bending positioned near a boundary thereof. Thus, composite circumferential bending rigidity of the belt layer 23 and the belt reinforcement layer 35 is reduced to reduce a vertical spring constant of the pneumatic tire 11 and increase a ground contact length.
