Patent number: 5285835Abstract: This invention relates to high-speed radial tires, and more particularly to radial tires wherein the thickness ratio (Gc-Gs)/Gc, that is the ratio of the difference between the crown tread thickness Gc, which is a thickness of the tread on the equator of the tire, and the shoulder tread thickness Gs, which is a thickness of the tread of the ground contact surface at the outer edge in direction of the tire axis, to the crown tread thickness Gc is set to be 0 or more and 0.8 or less. By setting the ratio within a range of 0 to 0.8, the force Fs acting in the radial direction on the tread shoulder part, out of the total load acting to the tire, is decreased, thus, the deformation in the bead part is diminished and the permanence in the bead part can be improved. In a tire having the ratio of 0 to 0.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 1991Date of Patent: February 15, 1994Assignee: Sumitomo Rubber Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Kiyoshi Ueyoko, Tsuneyuki Nakagawa, Mikio Takatsu, Hiroyuki Noma, Yoshihide Kojima
