  • Patent number: 8490667
    Abstract: Driving stability and durability is efficiently improved. Since a protecting layer 43 embedded with reinforcing cords 41 is disposed between a tread 35 and a belt reinforcing layer 31, both of the protecting layer 43 and the belt reinforcing layer 31 decentrally bear a large bending force generated when a pneumatic tire 11 runs on a sharp projection or a difference in level. As a result, even if reinforcing elements 33 in the belt reinforcing layer 31 are extended by large tension due to fill internal pressure, increase of strain generated in the reinforcing elements 33 can be effectively suppressed.

  • Patent number: 8011404
    Abstract: A pneumatic tire for a motorcycle in which partial abrasion is suppressed by making the slip component of a tread lubber in the circumferential direction of tire as uniform as possible in the ground contacting plane. A cushion rubber layer 38 having elastic modulus lower than that of the tread rubber 30 is arranged on a spiral belt layer 22, and an inclination belt layer 24 including a cord inclining at an angle of 45 to 90 degrees to the circumferential direction of the tire is arranged on the cushion rubber layer 38. Consequently, shear deformation of the cushion rubber layer 38 during traveling can be transmitted to the tread rubber 30 after being smoothed by the inclination belt layer 24.

  • Publication number: 20100147427
    Abstract: In a pneumatic tire for a front wheel, turning performance on a wet road surface is improved compared with a conventional tire. In a pneumatic tire for a front wheel 10, a tread shoulder region 28S extends from a tread edge 20E toward a tire equatorial plane across a width of 20% of a developed width of a tread 28, and a land portion 56 defined by lateral portions 50 is disposed at the tread shoulder region 28S. Regarding the land portion 56, a wall surface 56K of the land portion at a trailing side is parallel to the tire radial direction; a wall surface 56H of the land portion at a leading side inclines from a groove bottom toward a groove opening, and an angle thereof relative to the tire radial direction is 35 degrees. It is effective especially for circumferential leaning deformation of the land portion 56 when braking force acts thereon, whereby lifting of an edge of the land portion at the leading side arisen from the tilting deformation can be suppressed.

  • Patent number: 7617855
    Abstract: The ground contact pressure on land portions 44 is uniformed so that drivability is improved and uneven wear is suppressed to improve wear resistance. The parts of the carcass layer 28 and belt layer 33 overlapping with the main grooves 42 are convexly curved toward the outside in the radial direction due to the internal pressure. The reinforcing layer 49 is arranged at the position spaced from the neutral axis of deformation in the compressed side in a certain distance, i.e. radially inside of the radially outermost carcass ply 30, and the steel cords 47 which extend in the direction including the tire width direction and its approximate direction and which act as supports for resisting against the compression force are embedded in the reinforcing layer. As a result, the above-mentioned curved deformation can be effectively suppressed.
