Patent number: 11633993Abstract: A tire 2 includes a tread 4, a pair of sidewalls 6, a pair of beads 10, a carcass 12, a belt 14, an inner liner 20, and a pair of insertion layers 22 disposed between the carcass 12 and the inner liner 20. Each insertion layer 22 is disposed between an end of the belt 14 and an end PB of the bead 10. Each insertion layer 22 has a volume resistivity of less than 108 ?·cm. A complex elastic modulus of the insertion layer 22 is equivalent to or higher than a complex elastic modulus of the inner liner 20. A thickness of each sidewall 6 at a maximum width position PW is not greater than 5.0 mm.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2021Date of Patent: April 25, 2023Assignee: Sumitomo Rubber Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Hiroshi Kikuchi, Takuya Osawa, Hiroki Uno, Kentaro Yagyu

Patent number: 10759233Abstract: In the tire 2, fillers 10 are layered over clinches 8 in portions outward of a carcass 14 in the axial direction. A carcass ply 50 is turned up around cores 44. Turned-up portions 50a are disposed between the fillers 10 and apexes 46. Each clinch 8 has a maximum thickness Tcx that is measured along a line normal to an inner surface, in the axial direction, of the clinch 8. A ratio of a thickness Tf1 of the filler 10 to a sum of the thickness Tf1 and the thickness Tcx is greater than or equal to 0.1 and not greater than 0.6. A percentage of a complex elastic modulus E*f of the filler 10 relative to a complex elastic modulus E*a of the apex 46 is greater than or equal to 70% and not greater than 125%.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2015Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: SUMITOMO RUBBER INDUSTRIES, LTD.Inventors: Tadao Matsumoto, Yasutaka Iwata, Kentaro Yagyu, Fumikazu Yamashita, Shingo Umekita, Yasuaki Kuniyasu, Hiroaki Ninomiya

Patent number: 10315466Abstract: A pneumatic tire includes a side wall having a side surface and a roughened region formed on the side surface such that the roughened region is extending in circumferential direction. The roughened region includes lands and dimples formed between adjacent lands, the lands include first lands and second lands formed such that the first and second lands are alternately arrayed in the circumferential direction and the first and second lands are inclined relative to radial direction in opposite inclination directions, and the roughened region is formed such that when the tire is mounted on a normal rim and filled with air at normal inflation pressure, the roughened region has an outer periphery formed on radially inner side of position 30 mm away in radially inward direction from tire maximum-width position, and the roughened region has an inner periphery formed on radially outer side of radially outer edge of the rim.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2015Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: SUMITOMO RUBBER INDUSTRIES LTD.Inventors: Kentaro Yagyu, Naoki Yukawa, Yasuo Mitarai, Yasuaki Kuniyasu
