According to the present disclosure, there is disclosed a hybrid tire cord capable of realizing high performance and weight reduction of a tire by having strong adhesion to rubber and excellent fatigue resistance as well as high tenacity and high modulus by providing a cabled yarn in which an aramid hybrid Z-twisted yarn, composed of an aramid multifilament yarn and an aramid spun yarn, and a general-purpose Z-twisted yarn are S-twisted together. There is also provided a method for manufacturing the same.

A tire (10) for two-wheeled vehicles comprises a crown (12) comprising: a tread (20), and a hoop reinforcement (17) comprising at least one hooping ply (19) comprising one or more hoop reinforcing elements (44) comprising an assembly made up of a multifilament strand of aromatic polyamide or aromatic copolyamide (47) and of a multifilament strand of aliphatic polyamide (48). The twist factor K of the hoop reinforcing element (44) ranges from 5.5 to 6.5. The tire (10) is obtained by a method comprising a step of manufacturing the hooping ply (19), in which the bonded reinforcing elements (44) are embedded in a polymer composition in order to form the uncured hooping ply, the equivalent initial tensile modulus of the uncured hooping ply ranging from 330 to 620 cN/tex/dm.

A first belt cord made of organic fibers of a spirally wound belt layer extends at an angle of equal to or less than 5 relative to a tire equatorial plane, a second belt cord made of organic fibers of a zigzag belt layer extends at an inclination of an angle of 2 to 45 relative to the tire equatorial plane, to folding back points where the second belt cord is folded back at each width directional end edge of the zigzag belt layer, and a relation of N.sub.95>N.sub.50 is satisfied. N.sub.50 is the number of stacked belt layers of the spirally wound belt layers, at 50% of half the length of a maximum belt width of belt layers from the tire equatorial plane. N.sub.95 is the number of stacked belt layers of the spirally wound belt layers, at 95% of half the length of the maximum belt.

The invention relates to a weft fabric (T) for tyres (10) comprising several textile warp reinforcing elements (44) and several weft reinforcing elements (50), wherein the moisture regain MR of the weft reinforcing elements (50) is less than or equal to 2.0%, the moisture regain being determined according to standard ASTM D 885/D 885MA of January 2010; the weft reinforcing elements (50) interweave the warp reinforcing elements (44) and; the weft reinforcing elements (50) are hairy.

In a tire, a tire outer diameter OD is in a range 200 mmOD660 mm. A total tire width SW is in a range 100 mmSW400 mm. A carcass layer is formed by layering two layers of carcass plies formed by covering organic fiber cords with coating rubbers. The organic fiber cords of the two layers of the carcass plies have cord angles in a range of 80 degrees or more and 100 degrees or less with respect to a tire circumferential direction. A tensile strength Tcs per a width of 50 mm of each of the two layers of the carcass plies (13A, 13B) is in a range 17 N/mmTcs/OD120 N/mm with respect to the tire outer diameter OD.

An agricultural tire includes a toroidal tire structure containing vulcanized rubber in an amount of about 90 percent or more by weight. The tire structure may have one or more performance enhancing features, including high strength plies. The high strength plies contain cords that are formed of yarns, including polyamide yarns, and have individual cord tensile strengths within a range of about 400 N to about 700 N. The performance enhancing features further include circumferential belt plies having cords at angles of about 74 degrees or more from an axial direction.

Provided is a pneumatic tire in which, by improving adhesion between a rubber and fibers for a reinforcing layer that is arranged in such a manner to extend from a tire radial-direction inner side of a belt layer in an end region of a tread portion toward an inner side of a tire radial direction along a carcass ply, not only the durability is further improved as compared to conventional tires but also the rolling resistance is reduced. The pneumatic tire includes: at least one carcass ply (2); and at least one belt layer (3) arranged on a tire radial-direction outer side of the carcass ply (2) in a crown portion, in which pneumatic tire a reinforcing layer (4) extending from the tire radial-direction inner side of the belt layer in the end region of the tread portion toward the inner side of the tire radial direction along the carcass ply is arranged, and core-sheath type composite fibers (C), whose core portion is composed of a high-melting-point resin (A) having a melting point of 150 C. or higher and sheath portion is composed of a resin material (B) that contains an olefin-based polymer (D) having a melting point of not higher than a tire vulcanization temperature, are embedded in the reinforcing layer.

An object is to improve durability without increasing the tire mass. An aircraft pneumatic tire (10) includes: a carcass ply (12) that straddles between a pair of bead portions (24); an inside belt layer (14) that is provided at a tire radial direction outer side of a crown portion of the carcass ply (12); an outside belt layer (16) that is provided at the tire radial direction outer side of the inside belt layer (14) and that is configured by a cord of cord configuration elements that have been twisted together; a belt protection layer (18) that is provided at the tire radial direction outer side of the outside belt layer (16) and that is configured by a cord of cord configuration elements that have been twisted together; and a low elasticity portion that is provided at at least one of the cord of the belt protection layer (18) or the cord of the outside belt layer (16), and that has a lower elasticity than other length direction portions of the cord (32).

The invention relates to a polyamide cord for use as carcass strength member in a pneumatic vehicle tire, wherein the polyamide cord has a residual shrinkage in the range from 0% to 2% and a shrinkage at 180 C. in the range from 0% to 4.5%, where the residual shrinkage of the polyamide cord and the shrinkage at 180 C. of the polyamide cord are determined to ASTM D 855. The invention also relates to a pneumatic vehicle tire comprising one or more polyamide cords and to a process for producing one or more polyamide cords, to a process for producing a rubberized reinforcement ply and to a process for producing a pneumatic vehicle tire.

A pneumatic tire containing a polyester (e.g., polyethylene terephthalate or polyethylene naphthalate) derived from a non-fossil raw material. In a preferred embodiment, a polyester (e.g., polyethylene terephthalate or polyethylene naphthalate) in which a linear or cyclic moiety is produced using a raw material derived from a non-fossil raw material is used in the pneumatic tire. A pneumatic tire in which polyethylene terephthalate or polyethylene naphthalate produced using a raw material derived from a non-fossil raw material is used as a carcass material or a belt reinforcing material.
