Abstract: A tire with a resonator for noise reduction includes: a main groove unit which has a plurality of main grooves formed to extend along a circumferential direction of the tire; a resonance unit which is formed between a pair of the main grooves; a neck unit which is provided to communicate the resonance unit with one of the pair of main grooves; and a cuff unit which is provided to connect the resonance unit and the other of the pair of main grooves.

Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention provides a technique for minimizing the deformation of the shape of a kerf by improving the durability of a blade used in forming the kerf during tire vulcanization. A 3D kerf-forming blade according to an embodiment of the present invention is installed in a tire vulcanization mold for forming a kerf and includes a frame formed in a shape of a plate having a wave shape in a cross section horizontal to a thickness direction and a support formed in a shape of a bar having one side connected to the frame and the other side connected to another frame.

Abstract: Proposed is a pneumatic tire with a 3D kerf, including: one or more 3D kerfs; and a tire having a tread and a shoulder formed at a side surface of the tread. The tread has: one or more grooves that are sunken toward a center of the tread and are formed in a circumferential direction of the tire; one or more kerf grooves that are sunken toward the center of the tread and are formed in a central axis direction of the tire; and one or more blocks which are divided by the one or more grooves and the one or more kerf grooves, respectively. The one or more 3D kerfs come into close contact with and are fixed between the one or more blocks, respectively, as being inserted into the one or more kerf grooves, respectively.

Abstract: The disclosed technology generally relates to tires, and more particularly to a method of and a smart tire system for evaluating a state of a tire, and providing an alarm, and to a smart tire configured for the method and the system. In one aspect, a method includes determining whether an abnormality or a problem exists in a state of a tire, by processing a tire state value from a TPMS sensor. Processing the tire state can be carried out by a sensor processor and/or a sensor information processor. The method additionally includes providing an alarm to a user, e.g., a driver. The method additionally includes verifying the determination of whether there is an abnormality or a problem. Thus, the disclosed method includes determining the state of a tire and providing an alarm, where the alarm has high reliability because it is generated based on examination of various parameters of the tire state, including, e.g., pressure, temperature and/or acceleration.
