Abstract: The present invention relates to a pneumatic tire having a multilayered film innerliner with rubber reinforced spliced overlapping ends.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pneumatic tire having an alloy film innerliner with a rubber reinforced spliced overlapping ends.

Abstract: The present invention relates to pneumatic tires having a laminated innerliner with reinforced splice. The laminated innerliner is a pre-formed laminate comprised of an innerliner film which contains an RFL adhesive coating on both sides for which the innerliner film is cohesively bonded through the RFL adhesive to an uncured tire rubber carcass ply. The uncured splice is comprised of overlapping end portions of the uncured laminated innerliner cohesively bonded together through the RFL adhesive which provides building tack. The uncured splice is reinforced by a an uncured rubber strip cohesively bonded to the laminate by the building tack-providing RFL adhesive for which the strip abridges, the overlapping end portions of the splice, or is sandwiched between the overlapped end portions of the splice, to form a cohesively bonded composite. The assembly, or composite, thereof is cured to adhesively bond the splice and rubber strip together.

Abstract: A lightweight truck and passenger vehicle tire having an improved tread design that provides numerous biting edges for increased grip in mud, snow, loose debris, and when climbing rocks as well as providing increased protection from punctures and cuts to the tire's shoulder and upper sidewall regions.

Abstract: A tire has a tread and a pair of opposing shoulders. In the first sidewall, a series of extension blocks creates a pair of concentric rings. In the second sidewall, a different configuration of extension blocks may be present. The second sidewall has alternating extension blocks where one of the blocks has a portion that is located radially inward of the other block.

Abstract: A tire including a carcass, a crown portion, shoulders, sidewalls, a bead region, two beads, the beads being within the bead region, and at least one cord, the cord being at least two of the group comprising aramid fibers, polyamide fibers, liquid crystalline aromatic polyesters, carbon fibers, fiberglass, and metallic fibers, is herein described.
