  • Pneumatic tire
    Patent number: 4649976
    Abstract: A pneumatic tire (10), designed for use on a military vehicle, comprises a single carcass ply (13) of aramid cords, a pair of steel cord belt plies (14, 15), and a ground-engaging tread portion (20). The ground-engaging tread portion is characterized by a plurality of series of independent traction elements (21), each series of traction elements extending from a lateral edge (22, 23) of the tread towards another lateral edge (22, 23) of the tread along a curved path. The traction elements in each series are separated from the next adjacent traction elements of that same series by straight grooves (24), the width of the straight grooves being less than the width of the curved grooves (25) separating circumferentially adjacent series of traction elements.
