PNEUMATIC TIRE
In a pneumatic tire including belt layers in a tread portion, the belt layers include a cross belt pair in which reinforcing cords constituting the belt layers intersect each other between layers, a distance between a tire outer surface and an end point of the cross belt pair measured in parallel to a line segment connecting a ground contact edge and an edge portion on the outer side of the outermost groove in the width direction on an outer surface of the tread portion satisfies 15 mm≤D1≤25 mm, a distance between the belt layer and a carcass layer at a position corresponding to an outer end point in an effective width of the cross belt pair satisfies 2.5 mm≤G1≤9.0 mm, and a ratio between a height Hα from a core separation point to a maximum outer diameter position of the carcass layer and a height Hβ to the maximum width position satisfies 0.55≤Hβ/Hα≤0.65.
TYRE
A tyre comprising an adaptive tread, the adaptive tread comprising a plurality of surface sections, wherein each surface section can move without deformation relative to the other surface sections to form a tread pattern.

MOTORCYCLE TIRE
A motorcycle tire having excellent handling stability and durability, includes a carcass as a skeleton composed of at least one carcass ply extending toroidally between a pair of bead portions and folded and engaged around a pair of bead cores embedded in each of the pair of bead portions and a belt composed of at least one belt layer arranged on the outer side of the carcass in the tire radial direction. A flipper is arranged between the carcass and a bead core, which wraps the bead core from the inside in the tire radial direction, and the outer side end portion of the flipper in the tire width direction extends to the inside in the tire width direction from the end portion of the belt in the tire width direction.
Pneumatic tire
In a tire 2, a length from a center in an axial direction of a boundary between a core 30 and an apex 32 of each bead 10 to an outer end PA of the apex 32 is not less than 10 mm and not greater than 15 mm. In a state where the tire 2 is mounted on a normal rim and an internal pressure of the tire 2 is adjusted to a normal internal pressure, a shape of a main body portion 36, of a carcass ply 34, which is located in a zone from a boundary portion between a tread 4 and each sidewall 6 to the outer end PA of each apex 32 is represented by a single circular arc, and a diameter of the circular arc is not less than 75% and not greater than 90% of a cross-sectional height of a carcass 14.

TIRE WITH CONCAVE SIDEWALLS
A tire having a central axis and a radius further includes a circumferential tread having a convex cross-section. The convex cross-section is defined by a radius that is less than a maximum radius of the tire. A pair of sidewalls extends from opposite sides of the circumferential tread. Each of the pair of sidewalls has a concave cross-section that is defined by a radius that is greater than a maximum radius of the convex cross-section of the circumferential tread.
TIRE
Provided is a tire comprising a tread part, the tread part comprising at least one rubber layer of a rubber composition comprising a rubber component and a thermoplastic elastomer, wherein a ratio (W.sub.T/W.sub.L) of a tire weight W.sub.T (kg) to a maximum load capacity W.sub.L (kg) of the tire is 0.0180 or less, wherein, in a dynamic viscoelasticity test (temperature-dependent measurement at 10 Hz) in accordance with JIS K 6394, the thermoplastic elastomer exhibits a tan δ peak value in a range of −20° C. to 20° C., and the peak value is 1.00 or more. While being lightweight, the tire can improve in ride comfort and particularly suppress deterioration of ride comfort due to abrasion.
