A pneumatic tire and a rim includes a noise damper, fixed to a tire inner
surface or a rim inner surface with the upper surface facing a tire inner
space, and extending in the tire circumferential direction. The noise
damper is made of a sponge having a volume ranging from 0.4 to 20% of the
volume of the tire inner space. The noise damper is a laterally long and
flat, with a maximum thickness ranging from 5 to 45 mm and a width more
than the maximum thickness. The upper surface extends along a wavy curve
including a hilltop, valley bottoms on each side of the hilltop and
slopes extending down to the respective valley bottoms from the hilltop.
Each end of the upper surface is terminated at the valley bottoms or the
slopes. A thickness from the upper surface to the bottom surface ranges
from 1.0 to 15.0 mm.
