A pneumatic tire, which comprises a tread portion (2) having a pair of tread edges, a pair of axially spaced bead portions (4), a pair of sidewall portions (3) extending between the tread edges and the bead portions (4), a bead core (5) disposed in each of the bead portions (4), a carcass (6) extending between the bead portions and turned up around the bead cores, a rubber tread disposed radially outside the crown portion of the carcass defining the tread portion, and a belt (7) made of at least one spirally wound belt cord (11) disposed between the carcass and the rubber tread, the belt cord (11) comprising a higher modulus strand (13A) and a lower modulus strand (14A) which are twisted together, the higher modulus strand (13A) made of at least one continuous organic filament (13) having a higher elastic modulus, the lower modulus strand (14A) made of at least one continuous organic filament (14) having a lower elastic modulus, and in a unit length of the belt cord, the length (L1) of the higher modulus filament (13) is in the range of 104 to 124% of the length (L2) of the lower modulus filament (14), each measured along the filament in an unloaded state.
