A band (14) of a tire covers a belt (12). The band (14) is formed by a band ply (36). The band ply (36) includes a side portion (38) and a center portion (40). A band cord having a high modulus (Ms) is used for the side portion (38). Typically, a band cord to be a composite of a nylon fiber and an aramid fiber is used for the side portion (38). A band cord having a low modulus (Mc) is used for the center portion (40). Typically, a nylon fiber is used for the band cord of the center portion (40). A ratio (Ms/Mc) is 2.0 to 4.0. A ratio of a width (Ws) of the side portion (38) to a width (Wb) of the band (14) is 5.0% to 20.0%.
