Two-wheeled vehicle tyre
A two-wheeled vehicle tyre includes a tread portion including a tread rubber. The tread rubber includes a cap rubber forming a tread surface and a base rubber disposed radially inwardly of the cap rubber. 300% modulus (M300c) of the cap rubber is greater than 300% modulus (M300b) of the base rubber. Loss tangent (tan δc) of the cap rubber is smaller than loss tangent (tan δb) of the base rubber. The tread surface includes a crown region centered on a tyre equator and a pair of shoulder regions located axially outwardly of the crown region, and a thickness of the cap rubber in the crown region is greater than a thickness of the cap rubber in each of the shoulder regions.
Tire
A tire with a tread reinforcing layer that includes a ply reinforcing structure formed by winding a cord-embedded rubber tape circumferentially of the tire. The ply reinforcing structure includes first oblique segments and second oblique segments which intersect with each other to form a mesh structure having rhombic spaces. The circumferential lengths of the rhombic spaces are less than ⅔ times the maximum circumferential length of the ground contacting patch of the tire in its normally loaded state.
MOTORCYCLE TIRE
A motorcycle tire includes a pair of bead portions each with a bead core therein, the pair of bead portions including a pair of rim contact surfaces that comes into contact with a standard wheel rim under a standard-rim mounted condition. Each rim contact surface includes a bead bottom surface, a bead side surface, and a bead heel surface connecting the bead bottom surface and the bead side surface. Under a virtual-rim mounted condition, in at least one of the pair of bead portions, a diameter of an intersection of a virtual first straight line expanded outwardly in the tire axial direction from the bead bottom surface and a virtual second straight line expanded inwardly in the radial direction from the bead side surface is 99.0% to 99.6% of a rim diameter of the standard wheel rim.
MOTORCYCLE TIRE
A motorcycle tire includes a tread portion, a pair of sidewall portions, a pair of bead portions, a toroidal carcass extending between the pair of bead portions, and a belt layer and a band layer disposed outwardly in the tire radial direction of the carcass in the tread portion. The carcass includes a plurality of carcass cords. The band layer includes a jointless band ply having a band cord wound spirally at an angle equal to or less than 5 degrees with respect to a tire circumferential direction. The belt layer includes a plurality of belt cords arranged in a direction intersecting with the carcass cords. The belt cords intersect with the carcass cords at an intersection angle θc in a tread crown region, and intersect with the carcass cords at an intersection angle θs in tread shoulder regions, and the intersection angle θc is greater than the intersection angle θs.
MOTORCYCLE TIRE PAIR
A tire pair includes a front tire 2 and a rear tire 52. The front tire 2 includes a pair of beads 18, a carcass 10 extending on and between a first bead 18 and a second bead 18, a tread 4 located outward of the carcass 10 in a radial direction, and a band 14 located between the tread 4 and the carcass 10 in the radial direction. The carcass 10 includes a large number of carcass cords 30 aligned with each other and each tilted relative to an equator plane. The band 14 includes a band cord 34 extending substantially in a circumferential direction. A ratio (Jf/Jr) of a bending stiffness Jf of the band cord 34 of the front tire 2 to a bending stiffness Jr of a band cord 84 of the rear tire 52 is not less than 0.0 and less than 0.7.
Tire for a motorcycle
When (I) a tyre 1 is in contact with a flat surface (S) with a camber angle θ of 40 degrees, (II) a load (F) applied to the tyre is increased from zero, and (III) a curve (T) is obtained by plotting, in a XY coordinate, a displacement (Δx) in a tyre axial direction and a displacement (Δy) in a tyre radial direction of a position (A) of one of tyre tread edges (Te) closer to the flat surface (S), the displacements being from a reference position (A0) when the load (F) is zero, inclination of the curve (T) increases as the load (F) increases at least in a range where the load (F) is not more than 78% of a maximum load capacity load of the tyre.
HIGH GRIP SNOW TIRE
The present application relates to a high grip snow tire, which belongs to a field of snow tire, including a carcass. The carcass is provided with pattern blocks and friction blocks on the circumferential surface thereof, which are positioned on the same side with the equatorial plane of the carcass. The pattern blocks and the friction blocks are successively distributed along the circumference of the carcass, and are in mirror symmetry about the equatorial plane. The friction block includes a plurality of fixing protrusions, which are gradually sharp along the direction away from the carcass. The carcass is provided with a protection groove on the surface thereof, and the fixing protrusions are positioned in the protection groove. The present application has the effect of improving the grip.
Motorcycle Tire
A tire for two-wheeled motorized vehicle having tread connected by sidewalls to beads, each having circumferential reinforcing bead wire, each contacting a rim on which the tire is mounted, the tire has an indicator system of a plurality of cavities formed on tread surface, each cavity having maximum depth less than 1 mm and average width of less than 3 mm, and arranged in a plurality of circumferential sets of cavities) representing different camber angles of the tire, each circumferential set having plurality of cavities arranged in circular arc, wherein two adjacent cavities are spaced along circular arc by circumferential pitch (Pc) between 1 mm and 10 mm, the circumferential sets arranged in specific radial pattern defined by a radial pitch (Pr) corresponding to spacing in radial direction between circular arcs of two adjacent circumferential sets of cavities, the radial pitch (Pr) being between 1 mm and 10 mm.
NON-PNEUMATIC TIRE FOR CAMBER-STEERED VEHICLE OR OTHER VEHICLE
A wheel comprising a non-pneumatic tire for a vehicle, such as a vehicle that is steerable and/or otherwise movable by leaning the vehicle (e.g., a bicycle, a motorcycle or another two-wheeled vehicle), in which the non-pneumatic tire may be designed to enhance its use and performance, including, for example, to avoid sudden failure, improve steering and/or other movement of the vehicle (e.g., when the vehicle is leaned and the non-pneumatic tire is cambered), improve ride comfort, and/or exhibit less rolling resistance.
MOTORCYCLE TIRE
In a tire 2, each crown block 22c has a laterally extending shape that is longer in an axial direction and shorter in a rotation direction. A top surface 32c of the crown block 22c includes a crown front edge 46c. The crown front edge 46c has a bottom BC located on a heel side with respect to both ends thereof in the rotation direction. Of the crown front edge 46c, a portion connecting the bottom BC and each end forms an inclined edge 54c extending from the bottom BC to the end and inclined to a toe side in the rotation direction. The inclined edge 54c of the crown front edge 46c includes at least three edge components 58c.
