ABSTRACT:
A radial tire for motorcycles which comprises: at least one carcass ply of organic fiber cords arranged radially at an angle of 85 to 90 degrees to the tire equator and turned up around the bead cores to form two turned up portions and a main portion therebetween; a tread disposed radially outside the carcass and curved so that the maximum cross section width of the tire lies between the tread edges; a belt disposed radially outside the carcass and inside the tread and having at least one spirally wound cord; and a bead apex disposed between the carcass main portion and each carcass turned up portion, wherein the belt is composed of at least one spirally wound cord having an elastic modulus of not less than 600 kgf/sq.mm; the bead apex is made of rubber having a JIS A hardness of 50 to 65 and extending radially outwardly from the bead core into the tread portion so that the extended portion is interposed between the belt and the carcass; the axial distance of the radially outer edge of the bead apex from the tire equator being greater than zero but less than 1/4 times the axial tread width; each carcass turned up portion extending radially outwardly from the bead portion into the tread portion over the tread edge; and the radial height of the radially outer edge of the turned up portion being larger than the radial height of the tread edge, both being measured from the bead base.
