In order to solve the various conventional problems described above, the
present invention provides a tire which is excellent in a braking
property and a drivability (WET performance) on a wet road surface and
which sufficiently displays an edge effect or a spike effect and is
excellent in an on-ice performance (surface braking and driving
performance). Further, the present invention provides a tire which
enhances a workability in a plant and in which micro drain ditches
exhibiting a water film-removing performance are surely formed. A foamed
rubber layer provided on a surface of the tire substantially brought into
contact with a road surface contains at least one inorganic compound
powder having a particle diameter of 10 .mu.m or less in a range of 5 to
20 mass parts per 100 mass parts of a rubber component.
