Pneumatic tire (1) that can be mounted on a predetermined rim tapered by 15°, wherein the pneumatic tire (1) comprises the following: a pair of bead sections (20) arranged on each side of a tire equatorial plane (CL) in a tire transverse direction; a
tire bead core (21) which is provided in each of the two bead sections (20); a carcass (6) which is supported by the pair of
tire bead cores (21), the carcass comprising a carcass body part (61) and a carcass refold section (62) formed by the carcass (6) which refolds back on the
tire bead core (21); a steel cord reinforcement layer (35) arranged on an outer surface of the carcass (6) which is folded back on the tire bead core (21); a bead rubber layer (K), wherein at least one section thereof is arranged between the carcass body part (61) and the carcass refolding section (62); and a first reinforcing rubber layer (L) arranged adjacent to an outer edge section (35E) of the steel cord reinforcing layer (35) located outwards in the tire radial direction, and an outer edge section (62E) of the carcass foldback section (62) located outwards in the tire radial direction, wherein the first reinforcing rubber layer (L) extends outwards in the tire radial direction; wherein the bead rubber layer (K) comprises a second reinforcing rubber layer (K1) arranged adjacent to the tire bead core (21) and a shock-absorbing rubber layer (K2) arranged adjacent to the second reinforcing rubber layer (K1), wherein the shock-absorbing rubber layer (K2) is located between the carcass body part (61) and the first reinforcing rubber layer (L); where, if the pneumatic tire (1) is not mounted on the specified rim, a distance from a second
line segment (J) to a third
line segment (F) is 4 mm to 12 mm, a complex modulus of the first reinforcing rubber layer (L) is between 6 MPa and 10 MPa, the elongation at break of the first reinforcing rubber layer (L) is 300% to 450%, a complex modulus of the second reinforcing rubber layer (K1) is 10 MPa to 15 MPa, and a complex modulus of the shock-absorbing rubber layer (K2) is 2 MPa to 6 MPa, wherein a first
line segment (D) passes through an outermost projection point (E) of the tire bead core (21) in the transverse direction of the tire and is parallel to a longest side of the tire bead core (21), a side (P) of a bead base section (26) is closer to a bead
heel (27), where the bead base section (26) is a section of the bead section (20) and is configured to come into contact with the specified rim, a curved line (G) of a tire outer surface (40), where the tire outer surface (40) is a section of the bead section (20), is arranged in the tire transverse direction outwards from the bead base section (26), a first intersection point (H) of the side (P) and the curved line (G) exists, the second line segment (J) passes through the first intersection point (H) and is perpendicular to the first line segment (D), and the third line segment (F) passes through the projection point (E) and is perpendicular to the first line segment (D).
