An aircraft tire includes a tire body forming an outer peripheral part of an aircraft wheel; and a protrusion with a pressure receiving surface configured to receive flight wind pressure toward one end and a streamline shape tapering toward another end. The protrusion rotates the aircraft wheel before touchdown through flight wind pressure received by the pressure receiving surface. The protrusion includes a pair of legs; a weight portion with a center of gravity positioned outwardly of respective horizontal positions of the pair of legs with respect to a center line widthwise of the tire body; and a hollow part extending between the ends of the protrusion. Centrifugal force that acts on the weight portion causes the pair of legs to fall over in a direction toward an outer periphery of the tire body to narrow the hollow part for reduction of an area of the pressure receiving surface.
