Publication number: 20190344620Abstract: Provided is a pneumatic tire for motorcycles, which not only has satisfactory durability but also exhibits satisfactory grip performance when imparted with a large camber angle. This pneumatic tire has an aspect ratio of 80% to 40% and includes a spiral belt 7, which is formed by spirally winding a ribbon-like strip 9 obtained by rubber-coating two paralleled steel cords 8 in the tire circumferential direction and in which a spacing A between the two steel cords in the ribbon-like strip along the periphery of the spiral belt 7 is 0.8 to 1.5 mm in a state where the pneumatic tire is mounted on an application rim and inflated to a prescribed internal pressure with no load being applied thereto. The spiral belt is composed of a closely spaced region M in which a spacing B between steel cords of adjacent ribbon-like strips along the periphery of the spiral belt 7 is 0.8 to 2.5 mm and loosely spaced regions S in which the spacing B is 3.5 to 6.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2017Publication date: November 14, 2019Applicant: Bridgestone CorporationInventor: Masatomo OSHIMA

Patent number: 9522572Abstract: A motorcycle tire includes, on an outer circumferential side of a crown region of a radial carcass, a belt layer, a single auxiliary belt layer, and a tread rubber in the stated order, a periphery width of the auxiliary belt layer being greater than a periphery width of the belt layer. The cords of the auxiliary belt layer extend in a direction in which an inclination angle of the cords of the auxiliary belt layer with respect to a tire circumferential direction gradually decreases from each of both ends of a tire equatorial region including a tire equatorial plane toward a corresponding ¼ position which is at a distance of ¼ of the periphery width of the auxiliary belt layer from the tire equatorial plane along a periphery of the auxiliary belt layer, and the inclination angle in the ¼ position is 60° or more and 85° or less.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2014Date of Patent: December 20, 2016Assignee: BRIDGESTONE CORPORATIONInventor: Masatomo Oshima
