  • Publication number: 20240034101
    Abstract: In a pneumatic tire, a bead core has end portions in a tirewidth direction formed as vertical lines along a tireradial direction. A length of the vertical lines is from 20% to 30% of a core height. In two adjacent bead core layers of first, second and third layers, the radial outer layer tireincludes two or more bead cores more than the radially inner layertire, and a misalignment amount between the bead wires each at an end portion on one side in the tirewidth direction is one-half of a bead wire thickness. A side on which the misalignment amount between the first and second layer bead wires is one-half of the thickness of the bead wire is opposite in the tirewidth direction to a side on which the misalignment amount between the second and third layer bead wires is one-half of the thickness of the bead wire.

  • Patent number: 11491824
    Abstract: A pneumatic tire includes lug grooves having alternating first and second groove portions. The first groove portion intersects an equator, extends in a width direction, and communicates with an adjacent second groove portion. The second groove portion inclines from the first groove portion at a smaller angle relative to a circumferential direction smaller than that of the first groove portion and extends to a tread edge on one side. The first groove portion is on a stepping side with respect to an end on the tread edge side. The second groove portions curve or bend and have an average angle in an inner region smaller than that of the second groove portions in an outer region. A maximum length in the width direction of center blocks defined by narrow grooves connecting adjacent second groove portions and the lug grooves is 25%-35% of a development width.

  • Patent number: 11364751
    Abstract: In a pneumatic tire mountable on a 5°-tapered rim, a bottom of a bead core is inclined from 0°-5° in a direction in which the bottom diverges toward an outer side in a radial direction as the bottom extends from an inner side in the width direction toward an outer side in the width direction. Each bead portion includes a base, a toe, and a heel. The base is inclined from 8°-12° in a direction in which the bead base portion diverges toward the outer side in the radial direction as the base extends from the inner side toward the outer side in the width direction. The heel has a radius of curvature from 25-30 mm. A rim cushion rubber has a modulus at 100% elongation within a range from 5.0-8.0 MPa. The toe has a displacement between before and after mounting on the rim from 9.0-13.5 mm.

  • Patent number: 11285760
    Abstract: A pneumatic tire includes alternating first and second groove portions. The first groove portion intersects an equator and extends in a width direction. The second groove portion inclines from the first groove portion to a tread edge at a smaller angle relative to a circumferential direction than an angle of the first groove portion relative to the circumferential direction. The first groove portion communicates with the second groove portion of the lug groove adjacent in the circumferential direction. The first groove portion is on a stepping side of each lug groove. The second groove portions are curved or bent and an average angle of the second groove portions in an inner region is smaller than in an outer region. Shallow grooves having a bent point are formed on blocks. The blocks are defined by circumferential narrow grooves connecting the second groove portions adjacent in the circumferential direction and the lug grooves.
