A tire (1), intended in particular for a private passenger vehicle and comprising at least one sidewall (3) with a protuberance of the sidewall (3) close to the connection of the tire with its mounting rim (2), and intended to reduce the aerodynamic drag and hence the resistance to forward motion of the wheel, in order to contribute to the reduction in fuel consumption and hence to the reduction in CO2 emissions. According to the invention, when the tire (1) is mounted on the rim (2) and inflated to a pressure as defined by the “ETRTO” standard, the radially inner end I of the protuberance (6) is positioned radially inside the radially outermost point J of the rim flange (21) at a radial distance H1 at most equal to 10 mm, or radially outside the radially outermost point J of the rim flange (21) at a radial distance H1 at most equal to 4 mm.
