A tread rubber G has a short-fiber-mixed rubber portion 10 forming a
grounding surface. In a region Y1 between an outer grounding end Eo and a
tire equator C located outside of a vehicle when a tire is mounted to the
vehicle, the short fibers f are inclined and oriented at an angle .alpha.
outward of the vehicle radially outward of the tire, and an angle
.alpha.1 of the short fibers f in the outer grounding end Eo is greater
than an angle .alpha.2 of the short fibers f in the tire equator C.
