A radial tire with reduced running noise, which comprises a belt comprising two cross plies of cords laid an angle of 10 to 40 degrees with respect to the tire equator, and a pair of axially spaced narrow dampers disposed radially outside of the belt. Each damper has a width L of 0.1 to 0.36 times the width WBO of the outer belt ply. The dampers are centered on two points P, respectively, each point P being spaced apart from the tire equator towards each side of the tire equator by a distance H of 0.1 to 0.25 times the width WBO of the outer belt ply. The axially inner edge of each damper is spaced apart from the the tire equator by a distance D of 0.05 to 0.2 times the width WBO of the outer belt ply. Each damper is formed by spirally winding a cord so that the windings or turns are substantially in parallel to the tire equator.
