Assembly of pneumatic tire and rim
In an assembly of a pneumatic tire and a rim, in which a tire cavity is formed between the pneumatic tire and the rim by mounting the pneumatic tire on the rim, a noise suppressing body extending in a circumferential direction is disposed inside the tire cavity. The noise suppressing body includes a first sound absorbing material layer arranged apart from an inner surface of a tire tread part through a cavity and a second sound absorbing material layer disposed at the rim side of the first sound absorbing material layer and having lower air permeability than the first sound absorbing material layer.
