ABSTRACT:
A pneumatic tire having a uniformed ground pressure distribution, in which the tire has an inner band divided into a pair of spaced apart parts composed of extensible organic fiber cords arranged substantially parallel to the equator and disposed between the carcass and the belt so as to substantially align each of the axially outer edges of the parts of the inner band with each of the outer edges of the belt ply having the largest axial width, and the tread face comprises an internal arc portion with a radius of curvature TR1 and an external arc portions with a radius of curvature TR2, wherein the TR2/TR1 ratio is in a range from 0.15 to 0.45 when the tire is mounted on a regular rim and inflated to 5% of the standard internal pressure, and the boundary point P of the internal arc portion and each external arc portion is located between the axially inner edge of each of the parts of inner band and the axially outward start point of the overlap area where at least two belt plies overlap in the axial direction of the tire.
