Pneumatic tire
In a pneumatic tire, a two-dimensional code is provided on a surface of side rubber provided in a side portion. The two-dimensional code is formed of a dot pattern including two types of gray scale elements identifiably formed using surface irregularities. A two-dimensional code range in a tire radial direction in which the two-dimensional code is provided lies outward or inward of a bead filler rubber edge located outward of bead filler rubber in the tire radial direction.
Pneumatic tire
[Object] A pneumatic tire 2 which is excellent in durability is provided. [Solution] The tire 2 includes adhesive sheet layers 28. Each adhesive sheet layer 28 includes an interposed portion 58 and a protruding portion 60. The interposed portion 58 is interposed between a base layer 32 and a cap layer 34 of a tread 4. The protruding portion 60 is layered over a carcass 12. The adhesive sheet layers 28 are obtained by a rubber composition being crosslinked. The rubber composition contains a tackifier. A width W1 of the interposed portion 58 is preferably greater than or equal to 5 mm, and preferably not greater than 20 mm. A width W2 of the protruding portion 60 is preferably greater than or equal to 10 mm, and preferably not greater than 20 mm. A thickness of each adhesive sheet layer 28 is preferably greater than or equal to 0.5 mm, and preferably not greater than 2.0 mm. A ratio of an adhesive strength of each adhesive sheet layer 28 to an adhesive strength of the cap layer 34 is preferably greater than or equal to 1.30.
MOTORCYCLE TIRE
A motorcycle tire includes a tread portion, a pair of sidewall portions, a pair of bead portions, and a carcass extending between the bead portions in a toroidal manner. Each of the sidewall portions is provided with a sidewall rubber. In each of the sidewall portions, a minimum thickness (Ts) is 50% or less of a minimum tire thickness (Ta) from a respective one of tread edges to a tire inner cavity surface. A minimum thickness (Ds) of the sidewall rubber is from 0.3 to 1.9 mm.
Pneumatic tire
A pneumatic tire can include a tread portion, a pair of sidewall portions, a pair of bead portions, and a carcass. At least one of the sidewall portions can include a first sidewall rubber. The first sidewall rubber can include a base rubber layer, a different color rubber layer, and a barrier rubber layer. The base rubber layer can be in contact with the carcass. At least a part of the different color rubber layer can be exposed in the outer surface of the at least one of the sidewall portions. The barrier rubber layer can be arranged between the different color rubber layer and the base rubber layer. The barrier rubber layer can have a rubber compounding to suppress migration of rubber compounding agents on the base rubber layer side to the different color rubber layer. The barrier rubber layer can have a thickness of 1.0 mm or less.
TIRE HAVING OPTIMIZED PERFORMANCE IN TERMS OF ROLLING RESISTANCE WITHOUT IMPAIRING THE INDUSTRIAL PERFORMANCE
The rolling resistance of a tire has been improved without degrading industrial performance. The sidewall (30) consists of two sub-layers. A first sub-layer (FE1) of thickness E1 and volume V1 provides the expected protection functions of a sidewall as the outer wall of the tire, and a second sub-layer of the sidewall (FE2) of thickness E2 and volume V2 is optimized at low hysteresis to improve rolling resistance. The ratio V1/(V1+V2) of the volumes of the two sub-layers (FE1, FE2) is less than or equal to 0.3. The elongation at break of the compound of FE1 is greater than or equal to 200% measured at a temperature of 100? C., and the viscoelastic loss of the compound of FE2, Tan(?)max, is less than or equal to 0.10.
Pneumatic Tire
A pneumatic tire, includes: a lug groove outermost in a lateral direction in a tread portion, the lug groove opening outward in the lateral direction; and a projection portion outward of an opening portion of the lug groove in the lateral direction, the projection portion extending outward in a radial direction past a groove bottom of the lug groove at maximum groove depth and including an end inward of a road contact surface of the tread portion in the radial direction, when the pneumatic tire is inflated to a regular internal pressure and loaded with 70% of a regular load; the projection portion including a body projecting from a tire surface, and an end projection extending from the end of the body with a step portion as an interface, and the end projection having a thinner meridian cross-sectional width than a meridian cross-sectional width of the end of the body.
TIRE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING TIRE
Provided is a tire on which cracks on sidewall portion outer surfaces are unlikely to progress. The tire comprises a depthwise part I from a point on a sidewall portion outer surface to 0.5 mm on at least a part of a sidewall portion, wherein: the depthwise part I satisfies the following requirement: the depthwise part I: comprising a natural rubber, a butadiene rubber, and a thermoplastic elastomer; a peak temperature T1 ( C.) of tan is 20 C. or more and 5 C. or less; and when tan at the peak temperature T1 ( C.) is 1 and a storage modulus at the peak temperature T1 ( C.) is E1 (MPa), 10.90 and E1MPa.
Pneumatic Tire
A pneumatic tire includes a lug groove disposed outermost in a tire lateral direction in a tread portion, the lug groove opening outward in the tire lateral direction; a projection portion disposed outward of an opening portion of the lug groove in the tire lateral direction, the projection portion extending outward in a tire radial direction past a groove bottom of the lug groove at maximum groove depth and including an end disposed inward of a road contact surface of the tread portion in the tire radial direction, when the pneumatic tire is mounted on a regular rim, inflated to a regular internal pressure, and loaded with 70% of a regular load; and a reinforcing portion disposed at least at a base end of the projection portion, the reinforcing portion having a JIS-A rubber hardness greater than that of a rubber material around the projection portion.
