A carcass layer in which a plurality of cords are arranged in the tire radial direction (meridian direction), and a plurality of belt layers in which the carcass layer located below the tread is reinforced by a tag effect and the cords are inclined with respect to the tire circumferential direction. The structure is common. In addition, both ends of the carcass layer were wrapped outward by beads, and the cords of the wrapped portion were usually arranged in the tire radial direction.

When the carcass layer is biased, the cord angles are different (between the two layers), so that the cord is apt to peel off from the end of the cord at the rewinding portion, and there is a problem that durability is reduced under severe running conditions. In other words, if the cord angles of adjacent cords are different, an angle change occurs in the inclined cord near the tire side where bending occurs during running, and large shear strain and shear stress occur in the rubber part interposed between adjacent cords In addition, the cord is easily peeled from the tip of the cord due to fatigue fracture.
