The objective of the present invention is to provide a pneumatic tire that can desirably prevent generation of static electricity between the road face and the tire, while maintaining a low rolling resistance, so that the safety in use is further improved. In pneumatic tire of the present invention, each of tread rubber, breaker rubber and sidewall rubber that are respectively formed on a tread section, a breaker section and a sidewall section has a volume resistivity of 1×10 8 Ω·cm or more, with a conductive layer having a volume resistivity smaller than 1×10 8 Ω·cm and a thickness in a range from 0.2 to 2.0 mm being formed between a carcass ply forming the carcass and the sidewall rubber, and at least either conductive layer or a rubber cement layer that is formed so as to be made in contact with conductive layer and has a volume resistivity lower than that of the tread rubber is exposed to the surface of the tire. |
