Provided is a pneumatic tire with which a search time for a transponder can be reduced, and with which, for a passive transponder functioning with energy transmitted from the outside, efficiency of energy transmission can be enhanced. The pneumatic tire of the present invention provided with a transponder has an identification tag, which indicates a position of the transponder, and which is disposed to an outer surface of a portion of the tire, the portion being where the transponder is disposed. Furthermore, for a pneumatic tire having a transponder on a sidewall part thereof, an identification tag, which indicates the position of the transponder, is provided to an outer surface of a portion of the tire, the portion being where the transponder is disposed, and another identification tag, which indicates at least the position of the transponder in the circumferential direction of the tire, is provided to an outer surface of the other sidewall part of the tire, which is on the opposite side of the sidewall part where the transponder is disposed.
