Patent number: 7886791Abstract: A pneumatic radial tire for a passenger car having a pair of bead portions and a carcass having at least one carcass ply toroidally extending between a pair of bead cores embedded in the respective bead portions and containing organic fiber cords. The organic fiber cord is a polyketone fiber cord satisfying the following equation: ???0.01E+1.2 and ??0.02, where ? is a thermal shrinkage stress at 177° C. (cN/dtex) and E is an elastic modulus at 25° C. under a load of 49N (cN/dtex). The cord has a ply-twisting coefficient N1 of 0.35-0.70 and a cable-twisting coefficient N2 of 0.50-0.95, where N1=n1×(0.125×D1/?)1/2×10?3, N2=n2×(0.125×D2/?)1/2×10?3, n1 is a ply twisting number (turns/10 cm), n2 is a cable twisting number (turns/10 cm), D1 is dtext of ply-twisted yarn, D2 is a total dtex, and ? is a specific gravity of the cord (g/cm3).Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2006Date of Patent: February 15, 2011Assignee: Bridgestone CorporationInventors: Hidenobu Akahane, Hiroyuki Yokokura
