A motorcycle tire having improved water draining capacity and achieving both excellent dry and wet performance. A motorcycle tire including an annularly formed tread; in which the tread has main grooves; and in which at least one main groove of the main grooves has two or more widened portions that are enlarged outward in the groove width direction in at least one of the groove wall on the first grounding side in the rotational direction and the groove wall on the later grounding side in the rotational direction.

A tyre includes a crown main groove formed by unit patterns. Each of the unit patterns includes a first inclined element, a second inclined element, a first bent element, and a second bent element. The first inclined element extends obliquely. The second inclined element extends obliquely in a direction opposite to the first inclined element. The first bent element extends so as to connect between the first inclined element and the second inclined element. The second bent element is connected with the second inclined element. The first bent element is bent so as to be convex toward the first tread edge without having a component extending in parallel with the tyre circumferential direction. The second bent element is bent so as to be convex toward the second tread edge without having the component extending in parallel with the tyre circumferential direction.

Motorcycles tyre, comprising: a radial carcass structure (2); a belt structure (6) applied in radially outer position with respect to the radial carcass structure (2); a tread band (8) applied in radially outer position with respect to the belt structure (6). The tyre (1) has a curvature ratio (f/C) greater than or equal to about 0.25. The tread band (8) comprises: a plurality of blocks (14) mutually spaced so as to define a tread pattern with a void/solid ratio (1−Sb/St) comprised between about 25% and about 50%; transverse grooves (11) placed in succession along the circumferential extension of the tyre (1) and each substantially extending over the entire axial width of the tread band (8). Each transverse groove (11) substantially extends along an axial direction. Two successive transverse grooves (11) circumferentially delimit an assembly (12) of blocks (14) placed in succession over the entire axial width of the tread band (8). Circumferential grooves (13) delimit the blocks (14) of an assembly (12). A ratio between a circumferential length (LI) of the blocks (14) and a width (L2) of the transverse grooves (11) is equal to or greater than about 2.

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 tyre for running on rough terrain includes a tread portion. The tread portion includes a crown region, middle regions, and shoulder regions. The crown region is provided with a plurality of crown blocks. The middle regions are provided with a plurality of middle blocks. The shoulder regions are provided with a plurality of shoulder blocks. Each of the middle blocks is connected with at least one of the crown blocks by a crown tie bar and connected with at least one of the shoulder blocks by a shoulder tie bar. A land ratio of the shoulder regions is 90% or more and 115% or less of a land ratio of the crown region.

A tyre includes a tread portion including a groove bottom surface and a plurality of blocks protruding from the groove bottom surface. The plurality of blocks includes one or more multi-height blocks. Each multi-height block includes a first block portion having a first height from the groove bottom surface, a second block portion having a second height from the groove bottom surface, a third block portion having a third height from the groove bottom surface, and a block groove to define the first block portion, the second block portion and the third block portion. The second height is higher than the first height, and the third height is higher than the second height.

A tire for a two-wheeled automotive vehicle includes a carcass that is extended on and between one of beads and the other of the beads along inner sides of a tread and sidewalls. The carcass includes a first ply and a second ply that is layered outward of the first ply. The first ply is turned up around the beads from an inner side toward an outer side in an axial direction. By the turning-up, the first ply includes a main portion and turned-up portions. The second ply is turned back around the beads from the outer side toward the inner side in the axial direction. By the turning-back, the second ply includes a main portion and turned-back portions.

The invention relates to a tyre (100) for vehicle wheels comprising at least one structural element comprising a vulcanized elastomeric material obtained by vulcanizing a vulcanizable elastomeric composition comprising at least one vulcanizable diene elastomeric polymer and at least one composite reinforcing filler, a process for producing a tyre (100) comprising the composite reinforcing filler, a masterbatch comprising the composite reinforcing filler and a process for producing the same, as well as a process for producing the composite reinforcing filler.

A tire 2 includes: a tread 4 forming a tread surface 20; a band 14 disposed inward of the tread 4 in a radial direction; and a belt 12 disposed between the tread 4 and the band 14 in the radial direction. The tread 4 includes a center region 22 disposed at a center in an axial direction, and a shoulder region 24 disposed on an outer side in the axial direction. The band 14 includes a band cord. The band cord is helically wound and extends in a circumferential direction. The belt 12 includes a belt cord. The belt cord extends so as to be tilted relative to an equator plane.
