Pneumatic tire
A pneumatic tire includes circumferential main grooves extending in the tire circumferential direction and a land portion defined by the circumferential main grooves. The land portion includes a through lug groove that passes through the land portion in the tire lateral direction and includes first and second chamfered portions formed on left and right edge portions of the through lug groove. The first chamfered portion opens at one end to one of the edge portions of the land portion and terminates at the other end at a central portion in the groove length direction of the through lug groove. The second chamfered portion opens at one end portion to one of the edge portions of the land portion and terminates at the other end portion at a central portion in the groove length direction of the through lug groove.
Tire
A tire has a tread portion 2. The first middle land region 11 is provided with bend grooves 15 each having a first end 15a and a second end 15b. The first end 15a is connected to the first shoulder circumferential groove 5. The second end 15b is connected to one of the bend grooves 15 next in one of two opposite circumferential directions. Each bend groove 15 has two bent portions 16 and 17 at which the groove is bent. The bent angle θ1 at the first bent portion 16 is greater than the bent angle θ2 at the second bent portion 17.
Tyre
A tyre includes a tread portion provided with an outer main groove, an inner main groove, and a middle main groove. Each of the main grooves has a pair of groove edges arranged on both sides in a tyre axial direction and extending in a tyre circumferential direction. At least one of the groove edges includes circumferential portions extending in the tyre circumferential direction and axial portions inclined at larger angles than the circumferential portions with respect to the tyre circumferential direction. When an axial portion total length is a sum of axial lengths of the axial portions included in the main grooves, an axial portion total lengths L1, L2, and L3 of the outer main groove, the middle main groove, and the inner main groove, respectively, satisfy Expressions (1) and (2) shown below;
L1>L3 Ex. (1)
L1≥L2≥L3 Ex. (2).
IRRIGATION TIRE
A non directional pneumatic tire is provided for an agricultural irrigation system. The tire includes first and second side walls and a radially outer wall defining an internal inflation chamber. A non directional tread pattern is defined on the tire and includes a plurality of longitudinal protrusions positioned substantially parallel to a rotational axis of the tire. The longitudinal protrusions are arranged in first and second rows extending from the first and second side walls toward and across the equatorial plane of the tire. The longitudinal protrusions of the first and second rows circumferentially alternate with each other and there is a circumferential spacing between adjacent longitudinal protrusions at the equatorial plane so that no portion of one longitudinal protrusion circumferentially coincides with or overlaps another.
Pneumatic tire
Provided is a tire including, in a tread surface, a plurality of land portions partitioned by a circumferential main groove extending continuously in a tire circumferential direction, on at least one side in a tire width direction, and comprising, in an internal land portion located in a vehicle-installed inside half portion to a tire equatorial plane among the plurality of land portions, an internal resonator including a first auxiliary groove that terminates in the internal land portion, and a first branch groove that communicates between the first auxiliary groove and the circumferential main groove, and in the first branch groove, a hidden groove having an opening width in the tread surface that is smaller than a groove width of a groove bottom is provided adjacent to the first auxiliary groove.
Tire
In a tire having composite grooves provided on a shoulder land portion, dry performance and wet performance are improved. The tire includes a tread portion 2. The tread portion 2 includes a first shoulder land portion 13. The first shoulder land portion 13 has shoulder lateral grooves 15 and shoulder composite grooves 20. The shoulder lateral grooves 15 and the shoulder composite grooves 20 are each curved so as to be convex in a tire circumferential direction. Each shoulder composite groove 20 includes, in a cross section thereof, a sipe element 21 having a width not greater than 1.5 mm and extending from a tread surface of the first shoulder land portion 13 in a tire radial direction, and a groove element 22 connected to an inner side in the tire radial direction of the sipe element 21 and having a width greater than 1.5 mm.
Tire
A tire has a tread portion 2 including a first land portion 11. The first land portion 11 includes a first circumferential edge 11a, a second circumferential edge 11b, and a tread surface between the first circumferential edge 11a and the second circumferential edge 11b. On the tread surface, a first inclined groove 21 extending from the second circumferential edge 11b to the first circumferential edge 11a side, a second inclined groove 22 extending from the second circumferential edge 11b to the first circumferential edge 11a side so as to be inclined in a direction opposite to that of the first inclined groove 21, and a triangular block 35 demarcated by the first inclined groove 21 and the second inclined groove 22, are formed. A curved groove 15 curved so as to be convex on the second circumferential edge 11b is formed on the triangular block 35.
TIRE
A first lateral groove and a second lateral groove are formed in a pneumatic tire. A first inclined portion is formed on one side of the first lateral groove in the tire circumferential direction, and a second inclined portion is formed on the other side of the second lateral groove in the tire circumferential direction. The first inclined portion is inclined from tire radial direction outside to tire radial direction inside by chamfering the end of one side circumferential block in the tire circumferential direction. The second inclined portion is inclined from tire radial direction outside to tire radial direction inside by chamfering the end of the other side circumferential block in the tire circumferential direction. The first inclined portion crosses the circumferential block and communicates with the circumferential groove. One end portion of the second inclined portion in the tire width direction terminates in the circumferential direction block.
Tyre for vehicle wheels
A tire for vehicle wheels comprises a tread band (2), on which a first circumferential rib (14) is formed, on which a plurality of first notches (20) are formed, which extend as a whole over at least 80% of the width of the first circumferential rib and each of which comprises: ⋅ i. a first portion (21) which is substantially rectilinear and has a first inclination with respect to a circumferential direction, ⋅ ii. a second portion (22) which is substantially rectilinear and has a second inclination with respect to the circumferential direction having a sign opposite to said first inclination, and ⋅ iii. a connecting portion (23) that extends between said first portion and said second portion; respective pluralities of the second and the third notches (30; 40), which are blind and substantially parallel to the first (21) and the second portion (22), respectively, of said first notches (20), are further formed on the first circumferential rib (14).
