Abstract: Disclosed is a tire configured for reducing noise during running of the tire by forming a predetermined shape in a groove of the tire to reduce a peak of air column resonance sound. The tire with reduced noise includes a first protrusion formed on a sidewall of a groove, protruding in a depth direction of the groove, and dispersing sound waves generated in a tread, and a second protrusion formed on the sidewall of the groove, protruding in a longitudinal direction of the groove, and dispersing sound waves generated in the tread.

Abstract: Disclosed is a tubeless tire having a reinforced bead portion capable of reducing the stress applied to a portion contacting a rim flange and to an edge of a carcass. The tubeless tire includes a carcass turned up around a bead core, a bead filler filled in a space above the bead core surrounded by the carcass, a steel chafer disposed to contact an outer surface of the carcass, and a first reinforcing rubber layer provided between the bead core and the carcass in order to prevent a turnup portion of the carcass from being pulled downwards, the first reinforcing rubber layer being located around a portion of the bead core that is oriented toward a rim flange. The bead portion is improved in durability under a high-pneumatic-pressure condition by reducing the stress applied to interfaces of the edge of the carcass, the steel chafer and the nylon chafer.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a bead reinforcing device for pneumatic tires, which includes a bead forming a circumference of a tire as a portion where the tire is in contact with a wheel, a carcass formed to cover the bead from its inside to its outside and forming an entire frame of the tire, and a bead stiffener formed to cover an entire outer surface of the bead.

Abstract: A tire includes a reinforcing rib formed on a groove to prevent irregular wear of a tread and including an auxiliary hidden groove formed in the groove to enhance capabilities of water absorption and drainage of the tire even when the reinforcing rib is formed on the groove. The tire can include a reinforcing rib coupled to a first sidewall, which is one of both sidewalls forming the groove, and protruding toward the groove from the first sidewall, a hidden groove formed in one portion of a second sidewall which is the other of the sidewalls forming the groove, and a remaining tread part protruding toward the groove from a side surface of the hidden groove, the remaining tread part being the other portion of the second sidewall.

Abstract: A tire having includes a V-shaped kerf to increase the directionality of running of the tire and having a drainage section at the lower side of the kerf to enhance (e.g., improve) the water drainage performance. The tire having V-shaped kerfs includes a kerf formed on a block and allowing water introduced thereinto to be discharged to a groove, and a drainage section connected to the groove to discharge the water to the groove, the drainage section being a space defined in the longitudinal direction of the kerf.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a tire with main kerfs and sub-kerfs, and more particularly, to a tire with main kerfs and sub-kerfs, which maintains drainage performance and running and braking performance by additionally including an auxiliary groove and improves a flow of air and drainage performance by including an auxiliary flow tube.

Abstract: A tire equipped with a sensor patch includes a sensor module and a sensor patch. The sensor patch is formed integrally with the inner liner of the tire by being vulcanized into the inner circumferential surface, and an accommodation space is formed in a region so that the sensor module can be fixed therein. A sensor patch is integrated with the inner liner without damaging the inner liner, and thus the sensor patch can be strongly bound to the tire. Furthermore, since the sensor patch is formed to have a thickness smaller than the thickness of the inner liner, when the sensor patch is vulcanized into the inner liner, the pressure of the bladder being exerted locally non-uniformly on the inner liner can be prevented.

Abstract: Disclosed are a hybrid cord produced by plying and twisting high modulus yarns and polyamide monofilaments, and a tire including the same. More specifically, disclosed is a method of producing a hybrid cord having a clear core-covering structure including a core comprising a polyamide monofilament and a covering spirally twisted around the core and comprising a high modulus yarn. The hybrid cord can clearly control the modulus ratio in each area, improving production efficiency of the cord and processability of the tire and reducing deviations of uniformity and driving performance. In addition, the tire using the hybrid cord reduces tire deformation during driving, thus satisfying both driving performance and comfort.

Abstract: The disclosed technology generally relates to apparatuses for reducing or cancelling noise generated by a tire in motion, and more particularly to a noise-reducing apparatus including a sound-absorbing foam and a fixing structure for attaching and fixing the sound-absorbing foam to a tire. In one aspect, the noise-reducing apparatus for a tire includes a sound-absorbing foam configured to reduce noise generated by the tire by absorbing sound generated by the tire in motion when attached to an inner liner of a tire. The noise-reducing apparatus additionally includes a plurality of fixing bands configured to fix the sound-absorbing foam to an inner side of the tire. Each of the fixing bands has an attaching portion configured to be fixed to the inner side of the tire and has a pressing portion configured to bring and keep the sound-absorbing foam in contact with the inner liner. The pressing portion is configured to apply an elastic force on the sound-absorbing foam by extending and contracting.

Abstract: Provided is a tire including rims, beads each mounted so as to surround each of the rims, a side wall that is connected to the beads, a sub-tread that is formed on top of the side wall and is formed of a material having elasticity so as to have a changing curvature, and plural tread blocks that are arranged on the sub-tread such that the distances between the tread blocks change in accordance with the change in the curvature of the sub-tread.
