なお、この空気入りタイヤ1では、周方向補強層145が、一対の交差ベルト142、143のうち幅狭な交差ベルト143の左右のエッジ部よりもタイヤ幅方向内側に配置される(図3参照)。また、幅狭な交差ベルト143の幅Wと、周方向補強層145のエッジ部から幅狭な交差ベルト143のエッジ部までの距離Sとが、0.03≦S/Wの範囲にある。
以上説明したように、この空気入りタイヤ1は、一対の交差ベルト142、143と、これらの交差ベルト142、143間あるいはこれらの交差ベルト142、143よりもタイヤ径方向内側に配置される周方向補強層145とを有するベルト層14を備える(図1および図2参照)。また、周方向補強層145が、タイヤ周方向に対して±5[deg]の範囲内で傾斜しつつ螺旋状に巻き廻わされた1本のワイヤ1451から成る(図4参照)。また、周方向補強層145の一方のエッジ部にあるワイヤ端部と他方のエッジ部にあるワイヤ端部とのタイヤ周方向の交差角αが、5[deg]≦α≦355[deg]の範囲内にある(図5および図6参照)。
