  • Patent number: 11667155
    Abstract: A pneumatic tire for heavy duty having an aspect ratio of 65% or less includes a carcass and a belt layer. A tread portion includes circumferential grooves. The circumferential grooves include a pair of shoulder circumferential grooves and a crown circumferential groove. The crown circumferential groove 11 is a narrow groove and each of the shoulder circumferential grooves is a wide groove. The belt layer includes metal belt cords inclined with respect to a tire circumferential direction. The belt layer has outer ends each positioned outside a respective one of the shoulder circumferential grooves in a tire axial direction. A belt half width is 55% or more and 85% or less of a carcass half width.

  • Patent number: 11541697
    Abstract: Provided is a heavy-duty pneumatic tire in which not only occurrence of a damage of CBU but also occurrence of pulling-out of a carcass ply can be inhibited, and which has excellent durability. In the tire, beads each include a cover enclosing at least a part of a core. The cover is located, between the core and the carcass ply, in a portion at which the carcass ply encloses the core. The cover is composed of one cover ply including a large number of aligned cover cords and a cover topping rubber covering the cover cords. A ratio of a distance between the cover cords to an outer diameter of a carcass cord is not lower than 0.35 and not higher than 0.85. A difference between a hardness of the cover topping rubber and a hardness of a carcass topping rubber is not less than ?5 and not greater than 5.

  • Patent number: 11077718
    Abstract: A heavy-duty pneumatic tire comprises a crown rib and a middle rib. The crown rib is provided with crown sipes crossing the crown rib. The middle rib is provided with middle sipes crossing the middle rib and a middle shallow groove having a smaller depth and a larger width than the middle sipes. The middle shallow groove comprises a circumferential middle shallow groove extending in a tire circumferential direction and lateral middle shallow grooves extending from an axially inner side edge (Ema) of the middle rib to the circumferential middle shallow groove so as to terminate at a position thereof.

  • Patent number: 10369847
    Abstract: A heavy duty tire comprises a tread portion provided with annular land zones divided by circumferentially extending main grooves. At least one of the land zones is provided with first recesses disposed at one edge of the first land zone, second recesses disposed at the other edge of the first land zone, sipes extending from the first recesses to the second recesses, and shallow grooves extending from non-recessed portions of one edge of the first land zone to non-recessed portions of the other edge. The depth of the shallow grooves is less than the depth of the sipes.
