  • TIRE WITH A CONDUCTIVE TREAD CHIMNEY COMPONENT
    Publication number: 20230391146
    Abstract: Aspects of the invention relate to a tire that includes a shoulder wedge arranged in a shoulder portion of the tire between the sidewall and the belt package, the shoulder wedge being at least partially inserted between the belt package and the carcass ply. The tread includes a tread chimney component extending from the shoulder wedge to the rolling surface. The overlay coat of the tire's belt package, the tread band except for the tread chimney component, the tread base and the tire sidewall are made from non-conductive rubber. A conductive path between the rolling surface and the rim is provided across the tread chimney component, the shoulder wedge, the carcass ply and the chafer portion.
