  • Publication number: 20240131867
    Abstract: A pneumatic tire (1) includes: a tread portion (2) including a land portion (24) divided by a plurality of main grooves (22) formed on a tread surface (21); an inner liner (7) constituting a tire inner surface (7A) on an inner side of the tread portion (2); and a mount member (10) which is provided on the tire inner surface (7A), and to which electric equipment can be attached. In the pneumatic tire (1), acetone extraction amount (AE2) of a rubber composition constituting the inner liner (7) is larger than acetone extraction amount AE1 of a rubber composition constituting the mount member (10).

  • Publication number: 20240123765
    Abstract: Provided is a tire in which cracks do not occur in the tire inner member during high-speed running and the occurrence of tire air leakage and detachment of electronic component mounting members is suppressed. A tire in which an electronic component mounting member for a built-in electronic component is mounted on the surface of a tire inner member, wherein the electronic component mounting member has an electronic component storage portion for storing an electronic component and a joint portion equipped with a joint surface for mounting the electronic component mounting member on the surface of the tire inner member, and the acetone extraction weight AEr (mass %) of the electronic component mounting member and the acetone extraction weight AEi (mass %) of the tire inner member satisfy (formula 1).

  • Publication number: 20240042813
    Abstract: Provided is a tire having excellent peeling resistance such that it is unsusceptible to having an electronic component peel off from the surface of the tire, even when a large impact is exerted on the tire during high-speed travel. An electronic component attachment member for embedding an electronic component is attached to a surface of a tire inner member disposed in a tire inner cavity. The electronic component attachment member comprises an electronic component storage part for storing an electronic component, and a bonding part having a bonding surface for attaching the electronic component attachment member to the surface of the tire inner member.

    Abstract: A pneumatic tire (1) includes: a tread portion (2) including a land portion (24) divided by a plurality of main grooves (22) formed on a tread surface (21); and a mount member (10) which is provided on a tire inner surface (7A) on an inner side of the tread portion (2), and to which electric equipment can be attached. The mount member (10) is disposed on the tire inner surface (7A) at a position corresponding to the land portion (24). Complex elastic modulus E*1 of a rubber composition constituting the mount member (10) is larger than complex elastic modulus E*2 of a rubber composition constituting the tread portion (2).
