In a pneumatic tire provided with a carcass layer and a belt layer, the carcass layer is formed of an organic fiber cord having an elongation at break of 20% to 30%, an elongation in a sidewall portion under a load of 2.0 cN/dtex of 5.5% to 8.0%, and a product A = D × Ec of a fineness based on corrected mass D (unit: dtex/piece) and a count Ec (unit: piece/50 mm) of 1.8 × 10 dtex/50 mm to 3.0 × 10 dtex/50 mm, and the belt layer is formed of a steel cord having a stress at break of 3300 MPa or more and a product B = S x Eb of a cross-sectional area S (unit: mm/piece), and a count Eb (unit: piece/50 mm) is from 6.0 mm/50 mm to 7.5 mm/50 mm.
