  • Publication number: 20180244112
    Abstract: Provided is a pneumatic tire which comprises a pair of left and right bead portions, sidewall portions continuous from the bead portions, and a tread portion that couples the sidewall portions. The pneumatic tire has a carcass layer mounted between the left and right bead portions. The sidewall portions each have a foamed rubber layer disposed outside the carcass layer and a side rubber layer disposed outside the foamed rubber layer. The density of the foamed rubber layer is from 0.5 to 0.9 g/cm3 and a tan ? of the foamed rubber layer at 20° C. is not greater than 0.17. A rubber composition for sidewalls that forms the side rubber layer is obtained by blending from 1 to 20 parts by weight of a thermoplastic resin and from 10 to 65 parts by weight of a carbon black in 100 parts by weight of a diene rubber.

  • Publication number: 20040206438
    Abstract: A pneumatic tire is disclosed, which comprises a bubble-containing adhesive composition layer as a puncture prevention layer or a puncture prevention layer formed by covering at least one surface of a sheet-like foamed body with a nonporous adhesive composition layer, disposed in the inner surface of a tire main body. This pneumatic tire having the puncture prevention layer in the tire inner surface is adapted to reduce the weight of the tire.
