The inflection point is located between the maximum width position and the extension line. The protrusion portion is protruded toward an outer side in a tire width direction more than a surface of a side wall at the maximum width position and the protrusion portion includes a maximum protruded portion. The maximum protruded portion is arranged at a position corresponding to the inflection point in the tire radial direction.

Abstract: In a case where a predetermined action is performed by a game character, a determining section determines whether or not a result of the predetermined action is a predetermined result. A determining/predicting section executes at least one of a determination as to whether or not the game character has been brought into a situation that allows the predetermined action to be performed by the game character and a prediction as to whether or not the game character will be brought into the situation. A producing section produces a presentation effect relating to the game character based on a result of the determination performed in the past by the determining section, in at least one of a case where it is determined that the game character has been brought into the situation and a case where it is predicted that the game character will be brought into the situation.

Abstract: The present invention provides a pneumatic tire in which a sectional shape of a bead wire and arrangement of the bead wires have been optimized to increase rotational rigidity of the bead core as a whole and suppress pulling-off of a carcass, so that durability of the bead portion can be enhanced.
