There is disclosed a safety pneumatic tire comprising a tire shell which is equipped with a toroidal carcass extending over a pair of bead portions and also functioning as a reinforcing material for a side wall portion connected to the bead portions and further for a tread portion, and which has a side-reinforcing layer on the internal surface of the side-wall portion; a rim which hermetically seals and supports the bead portions of the tire shell; and closed cell-based elastic foam which is filled in the internal hollow portion encompassed by the tire shell and the rim, wherein the constructional material of the elastic foam is butyl rubber or halogenated butyl rubber. The above safety pneumatic tire is markedly improved in run-flat durability, can reconcile favorable riding comfort chacteristic with the run-flat durability, is minimized in adverse influence upon the tire performances such as rolling resistance, and enables the production of a lightweight pneumatic tire.
