Patent number: 11186125Abstract: A pneumatic tire includes a plurality of circumferential main grooves, a plurality of lug grooves, and a plurality of blocks. Raised bottom portions are formed on groove bottoms of shoulder circumferential main grooves that are the circumferential main grooves, among the plurality of circumferential main grooves, positioned most outward in a tire lateral direction, and shoulder lug grooves that are the lug grooves, among the plurality of lug grooves, positioned outward from the shoulder circumferential main grooves in the tire lateral direction and connected to the shoulder circumferential main grooves from outer sides in the tire lateral direction. The raised bottom portions are formed so as to exclude at least intersection portions where the shoulder circumferential main grooves and the shoulder lug grooves intersect.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2017Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Inventor: Koshi Iga

Patent number: 9849730Abstract: A pneumatic tire includes a carcass layer, a belt layer that is disposed on the outer side in the tire radial direction of the carcass layer, and a tread rubber that is disposed on the outer side in the tire radial direction of the belt layer. The pneumatic tire also includes at least three circumferential main grooves extending in the tire circumferential direction, and a plurality of land portions that are defined by these circumferential main grooves. The belt layer includes an inner-side cross belt and outer-side cross belt having belt angles of not less than 51° and not more than 80° as absolute values with respect to the tire circumferential direction, the belt angles having mutually opposite signs, and a circumferential reinforcing layer having a belt angle that satisfies a range of ±5° with respect to the tire circumferential direction.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2013Date of Patent: December 26, 2017Assignee: The Yokohama Rubber Co., LTD.Inventors: Hideki Hamanaka, Koshi Iga, Koichi Kotoku

Patent number: 9604502Abstract: In a pneumatic tire, a belt layer includes an inner-side cross belt and an outer-side cross belt having an absolute value of belt angle with respect to a tire circumferential direction of not less than 46 degrees and not more than 80 degrees and having belt angles with signs that are opposite to each other; and a circumferential reinforcing layer having a belt angle with respect to the tire circumferential direction within the range of ±5 degrees and disposed between the inner-side cross belt and outer-side cross belt. Also, a distance Gcc on a tire equatorial plane from a tread profile to a tire inner circumferential surface and a distance Gsh from a tread edge to the tire inner circumferential surface satisfy a relationship 1.10?Gsh/Gcc.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2013Date of Patent: March 28, 2017Assignee: The Yokohama Rubber Co., LTD.Inventors: Tsuyoshi Kunugi, Koshi Iga, Hideki Hamanaka, Koichi Kotoku
