  • Patent number: 10252577
    Abstract: A tread pattern on a pneumatic tire is provided in regions of two intermediate land portions and has circumferential shallow grooves extending in the tire circumferential direction. An orientation of a groove inclination inclined with respect to a first direction in the tire circumferential direction of lug grooves provided in a region of one intermediate land portion, is the same as an orientation of a groove inclination inclined with respect to a second direction opposite to of the first direction of the tire circumferential direction of lug grooves provided in a region of another intermediate land portion, and the lug grooves provided in the respective regions of the intermediate land portions are bent so that the groove inclination approaches the tire circumferential direction at positions of intersection with the circumferential shallow grooves.

  • Publication number: 20180056728
    Abstract: A pneumatic tire includes inner land portions, formed between a center main groove and outer main grooves on both sides of the center main groove, which are divided into blocks by sub-grooves. A pair of the sub-grooves positioned on both sides of the center main groove is inclined in the same direction with respect to the tire width direction, disposed such that openings on the center main groove side overlap in the tire circumferential direction, and the circumferential components of the sub-grooves are continuous throughout the tire circumference. A groove width of the sub-grooves changes at a middle portion in the length direction such that the sub-grooves include a narrow width section positioned on the outer main groove side and have a groove width W1 that is relatively small, and a wide section positioned on the center main groove side and having a groove width W2 that is relatively large.

  • Publication number: 20170361659
    Abstract: Provided is a pneumatic tire having plurality of compound grooves, each including a lateral groove having a first end that communicates with a main groove on one side thereof and a second end that terminates inside a land portion, and further including a sipe that extends from the second end of the lateral groove to the main groove on the other side thereof, are formed at an interval in a tire circumferential direction in at least one row of the land portions positioned inside a center region. The compound grooves are disposed so that an opening direction of the lateral grooves relative to the main grooves alternatingly reverses in the tire circumferential direction. The lateral grooves each include a broad width portion and a narrow width portion.

  • Publication number: 20170320360
    Abstract: A pneumatic tire includes four main grooves defining a central land portion, intermediate land portions, and outer land portions. Compound grooves including lateral grooves communicate with the main groove and terminate inside a land portion, and including sipes extending from the lateral grooves to the main groove, are formed at an interval in the tire-circumferential direction in the central land portion or an intermediate land portion. An opening direction of the lateral grooves relative to the main grooves alternatingly reverses in the tire circumferential direction. The lateral grooves include a broad width portion that opens to the main groove and extends at a constant groove width, and a narrow width portion positioned between the broad width portion and the sipe and extends at a constant groove width narrower than the broad width portion.

  • Patent number: 9764599
    Abstract: In a pneumatic tire, shoulder blocks are formed with one of two types of values for block width measured in the tire circumferential direction. A cross-sectional shape of a tread ground contact edge of the shoulder blocks with the smaller block width value when sectioned in a plan that includes a tire axial center is formed with a squared portion formed by a curved line having a radius of curvature of 10 mm or less, or is formed with a squared portion taper cut along a straight line having a length of 10 mm or less. A cross-sectional shape of a tread ground contact edge of the shoulder blocks with the larger block width value when sectioned in the plan that includes the tire axial center is formed with a rounded portion formed by a curved line having a radius of curvature of from 30 mm to 60 mm inclusive.
