Tire
Provided is a tire, comprising a tread surface divided into a plurality of land portions by at least one circumferential groove extending along a tire equator and tread edges, wherein at least an outline on one side of the tire equator of the tread surface comprises a plurality of arcs each having a different radius of curvature in a width direction cross-sectional view of the tire; an arc having a minimum radius of curvature among the plurality of arcs lies in a land portion having a maximum tread width direction length among the plurality of land portions; and an arc having a larger radius of curvature is disposed on a tread edge side of the arc having the minimum radius of curvature.
Pneumatic tire
In a tire 2, an outer surface 52 of a crown rib 48e and an outer surface 54 of a shoulder rib 48s form a part of a tread surface 28. On a cross-section of the tire 2 along a plane that includes a rotation axis of the tire 2, an outline of the outer surface 52 of the crown rib 48e is represented as a first arc. A center of a circle to which the first arc belongs is disposed on the equator plane. An outline of the outer surface 54 of the shoulder rib 48s is represented as a second arc. A ratio of a distance from a center of a chord of the second arc to the second arc relative to a length of the chord of the second arc is not less than 0.03 and not greater than 0.05.
Pneumatic Tire
In a state in which the pneumatic tire is mounted on a regular rim and inflated to 5% of a specified internal pressure, a tread width is TW, a total tire width is SW in a tire meridian cross-sectional view, a relationship of 0.80≤TW/SW≤0.95 is satisfied, a ground contact width at a load of 100% of a maximum load capacity is CW100, a ground contact width at a load of 70% of the maximum load capacity is CW70, and a relationship of 1.04≤CW100/CW70≤1.15 is satisfied.
TIRE
Provided is a tire including a tread portion. The tread portion includes two circumferential grooves and three land portions. The three land portions include a crown land portion disposed on a tire equator, and two shoulder land portions including tread contact ends. At least one of the shoulder land portions includes a plurality of main inclined grooves and a plurality of subsidiary inclined grooves. The main inclined grooves have tire-axially inner ends ending in the shoulder land portions and tire-axially outer ends disposed outwardly of the tread contact ends Te in the tire axial direction. The subsidiary inclined grooves have tire-axially inner ends ending in the shoulder land portions and tire-axially outer ends ending in the shoulder land portions.
HEAVY DUTY PNEUMATIC TIRE
A heavy duty pneumatic tire in which occurrence of uneven wear is inhibited is provided. In the tire, each shoulder land portion includes a groove wall portion forming a wall of a shoulder circumferential groove, and a cap portion located outward of the groove wall portion in an axial direction. A wear resistance index of the groove wall portion is lower than a wear resistance index of the cap portion. A ratio of a distance in the axial direction from an outer edge of the shoulder circumferential groove to a boundary between the groove wall portion and the cap portion on an outer surface of the shoulder land portion, to a width in the axial direction of the shoulder land portion, is not less than 20% and not greater than 30%.
PNEUMATIC TIRE FOR AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE
A pneumatic tire for an electric vehicle includes a pair of bead areas, a ground-contacting tread disposed radially outwardly of the pair of bead areas, and a pair of sidewalls. Each sidewall extends from a respective bead area to the tread. The tread joins each sidewall at a respective shoulder and the shoulders include an inboard shoulder and an outboard shoulder. A radius on the inboard shoulder is larger than a radius on the outboard shoulder. Physical features are formed on the tread, and each feature is formed in the shape of a fin. The features increase air flow towards an electric vehicle motor located inboardly of the tire. At least one of the fins includes a leading edge formed with micro-features.
MOTORCYCLE TIRE
A motorcycle tire comprises a tread reinforcement including a jointless band ply. The jointless band ply has a developed width Wa of not more than 65% of the developed tread width TWe. The tread portion has a tread profile comprising a crown arc portion having a radius R1 of curvature and a pair of shoulder arc portions having a radius R2 of curvature. The radius R1 is smaller than the radius R2 and smaller than 50% of the maximum tire cross-section width Wt. In a normal state of the tire, the axial ends of the crown arc portion are respectively positioned axially inward of the outer edges of the jointless band ply.
MOTORCYCLE TIRE
A motorcycle tire comprises a carcass and a tread reinforcing layer. The tread reinforcing layer comprises a belt and a band. The band is composed of a jointless band ply having a developed width less than 65% of the developed tread width. The belt is composed of at least one belt ply having a developed width of 65% or more of the developed tread width. At first positions, the intersecting angle between the belt cords and the carcass cords is 20 to 60 degrees. In the tread portion in a tire meridional cross sectional view, a single arc passing through a point on the tread surface at the tire equator and two points on the tread surface at the tread edges has a radius of not more than 0.7 times the maximum tire cross-section width.
Pneumatic tire
A pneumatic tire includes, in a tread portion, a belt layer including a circumferential belt layer with a belt cord disposed along a circumferential direction; and belt plies having a larger lateral direction dimension than a lateral direction dimension of the circumferential belt layer. A gauge from a surface of the tread portion to the belt layer is equal on a vehicle outer side and a vehicle inner side where the circumferential belt layer is disposed. At positions located away from a tire equatorial plane toward the vehicle outer side and the vehicle inner side by 120% of half of the lateral direction dimension of the circumferential belt layer, a gauge H1out on the vehicle outer side and a gauge H1in on the vehicle inner side to a belt ply of the belt plies located outermost in a radial direction satisfy 1 mmH1inH1out3 mm.
Pneumatic Tire
