TIRE
It is an object to provide a tire having well-improved fuel efficiency, wet grip performance, abrasion resistance, and wet grip performance at a later stage of abrasion. Provided is a tire comprising a tread part of a rubber composition comprising a rubber component comprising an isoprene-based rubber and a styrene-butadiene rubber, wherein a vinyl content of the styrene-butadiene rubber is greater than 26 mol %, wherein a given ratio A of an ash content of the rubber composition is greater than 25 mol %, wherein the tread part comprises two or more circumferential main grooves extending in a tire circumferential direction, and land parts partitioned by the circumferential main grooves, wherein at least one land part of the land parts comprises at least one given flask-like circumferential groove extending in the tire circumferential direction.

TIRE
An object of the invention is to provide a tire having little change in riding comfort performance and wet performance before and after wear of the tread part and in which riding comfort performance and wet performance as when the tire is newly used are maintained. The fire comprises a tread being composed of a rubber layer in which there is little change in hardness after thermal deterioration and having a groove shape such that a sea ratio after wear with respect to a sea ratio as when the tire is newly used is within a predetermined range.
TIRE
An object of the invention is to provide a tire having good steering stability performance after wear and in which a decrease in wet performance after wear is suppressed. The tire comprises a tread being composed of a rubber layer in which change in hardness after thermal deterioration is within a predetermined range and having a groove shape such that a sea ratio after wear with respect to a sea ratio as when the tire is newly used.
Tire comprising optimized architecture and tread pattern
A tire (1) for a vehicle has a tread surface having a transverse radius RT and comprises a crown layer (3) that comprises at least one undulation (312) in line with a rib (26). The undulation (312) is such that it is radially on the outside of the points of the undulated layer in line with the center of the bottom face of the circumferential furrow (25) closest to the undulation (312) and has an amplitude at least equal to 1 mm. The radial distance (da) between at least one contact edge corner of a rib (26) in line with which an undulation is located and the transverse radius RT of the rib is at least equal to 0.2 mm and at most equal to 2 mm.
Tyre
To improve uneven wear resistance performance while maintaining drainage performance. A tyre is provided with a plurality of inclined grooves in a tread portion. Each of the inclined grooves includes a first portion arranged on a crown region side, a second portion arranged on a shoulder region side, and a third portion connecting between the first portion and the second portion. In a ground contacting surface of the tread portion, the third portion has a groove width smaller than the first portion and the second portion. The third portion includes an outer portion arranged on the ground contacting surface side and an inner portion arranged radially inside the outer portion. The inner portion has a groove width larger than the outer portion.
Pneumatic tire, manufacturing device for pneumatic tire, and method of manufacturing pneumatic tire
A pneumatic tire that rotates about a center axis includes a tread rubber that comprises a contact patch; a groove provided in the tread rubber, the groove having an inner surface that includes a bottom surface and side surfaces that connect the bottom surface to the contact patch; and a coating film disposed covering at least a portion of the inner surface, the coating film reducing exposure of ultraviolet light to the inner surface.
Pneumatic tire
A pneumatic tire is provided. A tread portion includes shallow grooves formed in a road contact surface of each of shoulder blocks, intermediate blocks, and center blocks, defined by a plurality of longitudinal grooves extending in a tire circumferential direction and a plurality of lateral grooves extending in a tire lateral direction, the shallow groove having a smaller groove depth than the longitudinal groove and the lateral groove. The shallow groove extends along the tire lateral direction, and at least one end thereof communicates with the longitudinal groove or the lateral groove. A contour line of the shallow groove is provided with at least one bend point. A sipe is provided in a flat bottom surface of the shallow groove extending along the shallow groove. Among the shallow grooves, center shallow grooves formed in the center block are each provided with a terminating end portion terminating in the center block.
Tire Tread for a Heavy Vehicle with an Improved Resistance to Stresses
A tread for a tire for a heavy-duty vehicle for mixed use and aims to improve the endurance of the crown of the tire following retention of stones in the tread. The tread (1) has voids (3) with a first, radially outer void portion (31) of groove type, having a width W11 on the tread surface (2), a width W12 at a groove bottom (311), and a depth H1, and a second, radially inner void portion (32) of sipe type, having a width W2 and a depth H2 and leading into the groove bottom (311) at a distance E with respect to the mean surface (S1) of the groove (31). The distance E is at least equal to the width W12 of the groove bottom (311) divided by 6.
TIRE
A tire includes a first circumferential main groove 11 and a second circumferential main groove 12 in a tread surface 1. A resonator 21 is formed in an intermediate land portion 20 partitioned between the first circumferential main groove and the second circumferential main groove. The resonator has an auxiliary groove 211 whose both ends terminate within the intermediate land portion. The groove depths D1 of the first and second circumferential main grooves are 50% or less of the groove widths W2 of the first and second circumferential main grooves, respectively. The groove width W3 of the auxiliary groove of the resonator is 80% or less of the groove depth D1 of the first circumferential main groove.
