It is an object of the invention to provide a pneumatic tire and a producing method thereof capable of enhancing uniformity. A pneumatic tire 1 comprises a carcass which uses a carcass ply 10 in which a radially arranged carcass cord array is coated with topping rubber, and a tread. The carcass ply 10 includes a center ply portion 11 which is wound around the tread portion 2 in a circumferential direction of the tire and whose beginning end and terminating end in the circumferential direction of the tire are jointed to each other, and long rectangular ply portions 12 on opposite sides of the center ply portion 11. In each long rectangular ply portion 12, long rectangular pieces 12a formed by cutting the topping rubber by slits 13, and each long rectangular ply portion 12 is bent radially inward in accordance with shape of the sidewall portion 3 in a manner that adjacent long rectangular pieces 12a are superposed on each other, thereby forming a side portion 6S of the carcass. |
