Patent number: 9302552Abstract: A pneumatic tire has an asymmetric tread pattern. The width of an outboard shoulder main groove (3) is 3 to 4% of the tread width TW. The width of an inboard shoulder main groove (4) is 5 to 6% of TW. The width of an outboard crown main groove (5) is 6 to 7% of TW. The width of an inboard crown main groove (6) is 6 to 7% of TW. In each of the grooves (4, 5, 6), an outboard groove face's angle ?1 is more than an inboard groove face's angle ?2, wherein ?1 is 13 to 19 degrees, and ?2 is 9 to 14 degrees. In the groove (3), an outboard groove face's angle ?3 is 9 to 14 degrees, and an inboard groove face's angle ?4 is 5 to 8 degrees.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2012Date of Patent: April 5, 2016Assignee: SUMITOMO RUBBER INDUSTRIES, LTD.Inventor: Tomoyuki Mukai
