Publication number: 20190054775Abstract: A pneumatic tire includes a first circumferential groove extending in a circumferential direction of the pneumatic tire, a second circumferential groove extending in the circumferential direction of the pneumatic tire, a third circumferential groove extending in the circumferential direction of the pneumatic tire; and a fourth circumferential groove extending in the circumferential direction of the pneumatic tire, the first, second, third, and fourth circumferential grooves defining first, second, third, fourth, and fifth ribs. Each of the ribs includes lateral grooves and lateral sipes. The lateral grooves of the first rib each having chamfers on an upper side at an intersection with the first circumferential groove.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 17, 2017Publication date: February 21, 2019Inventors: Philippe Joseph Auguste MULLER, Jung Wan CHO, Sebastien PENIN, William Urbano VILLAMIZAR, Franck TUCCELLA

Patent number: 9751365Abstract: A vehicle wheel tire having a symmetrical five rib tread construction with adjacent tread ribs comprising the tread separated by circumferential grooves. The intermediate tread grooves have an axial width wider than an axial width of the shoulder grooves and a center rib has an axial width wider than the axial widths of the intermediate ribs and the shoulder ribs. The axial width of the center rib, intermediate ribs, and shoulder ribs are within a prescribed preferred range of a total tread axial width and the axial width of each intermediate groove is within a prescribed preferred range of total tread axial width.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2011Date of Patent: September 5, 2017Assignee: The Goodyear Tire & Rubber CompanyInventors: Vincent Benoit Mathonet, Philippe Joseph Auguste Muller, Laurent Luigi Domenico Colantonio

Patent number: 9463672Abstract: The invention provides a tire tread, the tread having at least one circumferentially extending or laterally extending main groove, the maximum radial depth of the at least one main groove defining a non-skid tread depth, the at least one main groove partially forming at least one tread element, the at least one tread element having a sipe therein, wherein the sipe has a first portion having a first and second opposed side, and a third side joining said first and second side, and said sipe further including a continuous tubular pathway bordering said first, second and third side. The invention further includes a blade for molding a tire, the blade comprising a first portion having a first and second opposed side, and a third side joining said first and second side, and said blade further including a continuous tubular pathway extending along the third side and partially extending along at least one of the first and second side.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2013Date of Patent: October 11, 2016Assignee: The Goodyear Tire & Rubber CompanyInventors: Vincent Benoit Mathonet, Daniel Scheuren, Philippe Joseph Auguste Muller, Frank Pierre Severens, Eric Nowak

Patent number: 9186935Abstract: A vehicle tire tread includes a circumferential spaced apart array of discrete tie-bar block elements within a circumferential tread groove, each tie-bar block element having a circumferentially oriented bisecting cut dividing the tie bar into opposed tie-bar components. The opposed tie-bar components operatively flex and converge axially when present within a rolling tire footprint to close the radially outward cut segment and resume a nominal separation dimension when outside a rolling tire footprint. The bisecting cut within each tie-bar block element further forms at a radially inward end a large diameter fluid conducting channel extending through the tie-bar block element to allow the passage of fluid along the circumferential groove, unobstructed by the array of tie-bar block elements.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2011Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Assignee: The Goodyear Tire & Rubber CompanyInventors: Vincent Benoit Mathonet, Philippe Joseph Auguste Muller, Laurent Luigi Domenico Colantonio
