Original Abstract Submitted

A pneumatic tire () includes: a tread portion () including a land portion () divided by a plurality of main grooves () formed on a tread surface (); an inner liner () constituting a tire inner surface (A) on an inner side of the tread portion (); and a mount member () which is provided on the tire inner surface (A), and to which electric equipment can be attached. In the pneumatic tire (), acetone extraction amount (AE) of a rubber composition constituting the inner liner () is larger than acetone extraction amount AE of a rubber composition constituting the mount member ().
