Abstract: A studless tyre includes a tread portion having sipes. In a cross-sectional view of the tyre perpendicular to a circumferential direction, a profile of a tread face between an equatorial plane and each of tread edges is formed by three arcs convex radially outwardly. The arcs include an arc Ci counted an i-th from the equatorial plane in an axially outward direction and having a radius Ri and a tangent line of an arc C1 on the equatorial plane extends exactly in the axial direction. An arc C(i+1) and the arc Ci make contact at a point where they intersect. A radius R(i+1) is not greater than the radius (Ri). A ratio of a radius R2 with respect to a radius R1 is 40% or more and 70% or less. A ratio of a radius R3 with respect to the radius Ri is 15% or more and 30% or less.

Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to provide an engine with improved startability and stable operation regardless of the driving environment and usage conditions. The engine is equipped with a control means, which calculates a standard injection timing on the basis of the target rotational frequency of the engine and a standard injection amount, that is, the amount of fuel injected, and which corrects the standard injection timing using at least one correction amount. A fuel injection control unit calculates a cooling water correction amount on the basis of the target rotational frequency of the engine, the standard injection amount, and the cooling water temperature, and when the cooling water temperature is less than a first prescribed temperature the control unit corrects the standard injection timing using only the cooling water correction amount.
