When the pneumatic tire runs under a load, the sidewall portion on the ground contact side is bent due to the reaction force from the road surface, so that stress is generated therein. This internal stress causes a large compressive strain at the radially outer end of the outer ply arranged axially outside the bead, but is formed on the tire outer surface between the radially outer end of the outer ply and the tire maximum width position. The formed recess blocks the internal stress generated on the outer side in the radial direction of the recess and reduces the influence on the outer end in the radial direction of the outer ply. This suppresses the progress of cracks from the outer end of the outer ply in the radial direction and prevents separation.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. When the pneumatic tire 10 of the present embodiment is mounted on a vehicle and is run while applying a load, the sidewall 24 of the pneumatic tire 10 on the ground contact side is bent due to the reaction force from the road surface, and as a result, the side tire 24 is bent. A stress is generated in the inner part of the hollow portion, and this internal stress causes a large compressive strain in the end portion 16C on the radially outer side of the folded portion 16B. However, the internal stress generated on the radially outer side of the recess 26 is caused by the recess 26. It is blocked, and the influence of internal stress on the radially outer end 16C of the folded portion 16B is blocked.

【0028】このため、折り返し部16Bの半径方向外

Therefore, the compressive strain in the vicinity of the end portion 16C on the radially outer side of the folded portion 16B is effectively reduced, and the separation at the end portion 16C is prevented.

Moreover, the relationship between R, H, D and A is R / H.
Since the value of the radius of curvature R is increased so as to satisfy ≧ 0.30 × D / A, the compressive strain on the outer surface of the recess 26 is near the deepest part of the recess 26, particularly from the deepest part to the sidewall 24 side. Concentration in a narrow area up to a distance of 0.2 D is alleviated, and the growth of ozone cracks is prevented.

Since the influence of the compressive strain on the end portion 16C on the outer side in the radial direction of the folded portion 16B is as large as the internal stress of the portion close to the end portion 16C, the distance C is 2.5 times the distance A. The internal stress in the portions separated only by the following greatly affects the end portion 16C. As a result, when the internal stress on the outer side of this portion in the radial direction is blocked, the compressive strain in the end portion 16C can be effectively blocked. However, since the internal stress of the portion separated by more than 2.5 times has almost no effect on the end portion, even if the internal stress on the outer side in the radial direction from this portion is cut off, the compressive strain at the end portion 16C is reduced. Can hardly be reduced.

In the present embodiment, the bottom of the recess 26 has a single curvature, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the bottom of the recess 26 may have a plurality of curvatures. . For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the vicinity of the deepest part of the concave portion 26 is formed with a large radius of curvature R that satisfies R / H ≧ 0.30 × D / A, and both ends thereof have a center of curvature on the outer side in the tire axial direction. It may be formed with a small radius of curvature R '. In this case, the sidewall 24 passing through a point 0.2D away from the deepest portion toward the sidewall 24 and passing through the deepest portion of the recess 26.
It is preferable that no R ′ that does not satisfy R ′ / H ≧ 0.30 × D / A be present in the recess 26 that is axially inward of the straight line F orthogonal to the normal line E.
