ABSTRACT:
The invention provides an assembly of a pneumatic tire and a rim. The tire has at least one carcass ply2and a belt layer8. The ply2is composed of ply cords and has end portions. The belt layer8is composed of belt cords provided outside of the ply2. Each belt cord extends in a direction intersecting the ply cord. Each of the end portions is held in the rim12. The width of the tire is maximum in a circumferential cross section “T” with a cylindrical shape with respect to the center axis “D” of the tire. The cross section “T” extends through the rim10. When the tire is rolled under a load and a stress is applied on the tire as an arrow “X”, a neighboring portion2dnear the end portions2a, 2bis considerably bending-deformed as arrows “Y” to absorb the stress. The roundness of the belt layer8is thus preserved to reduce the rolling resistance of the tire considerably.
