  • Publication number: 20120227880
    Abstract: The invention relates to an anti-skid stud for a tire having a supporting part (10) and an insert (20) which is secured thereto, wherein the supporting part (10) has a flange section (14) to which a securing section (15), into which a receptacle (19) is integrally formed, is connected, wherein the insert (20) is inserted into the receptacle (19) and projects with a head (22) out of the receptacle (19). In such anti-skid studs, particularly good grip is achieved which remains the same independently of the positional orientation in the tire by virtue of the fact that the head (22) of the insert (20) has a hexagonal cross section at least in certain areas.

  • Patent number: 7669625
    Abstract: A pneumatic radial tire has a carcass and a tread. The carcass has at least one carcass reinforcing ply and opposing bead portions. Each bead portion has a bead core and a bead apex radially. The apexes in each bead portion having the same radial height (HA), as measured from a bead base line (B). The tire has a bead reinforcing ply comprising aramid fiber reinforcing cords located in only one bead portion of the tire, with the bead reinforcing ply being adjacent to the carcass reinforcing ply.

  • Publication number: 20080053583
    Abstract: A pneumatic radial ply passenger tire (10) having a tread (20), a casing with two sidewalls (14, 16), one or more radial plies (18) extending from and wrapped about two annular beads (13) and a belt reinforcement structure (15) located radially between the tread and the plies. The tread has a first contour-defining curve extending outwards from the equatorial plane of the tire towards the sidewalls, an adjacent second contour-defining curve disposed between the first contour defining curve and the sidewalls and an adjacent third contour defining curve extending outwards from the second contour defining curve and the sidewalls. The first, second and third contour-defining curves have first (R1) and second (R2) and third (R3) radii chosen such that R2>R1>R3.
