Pneumatic Tire and Method of Manufacturing Same
A pneumatic tire mounted with surface fastener members for attaching an object to a tire inner surface, comprises: at least eight surface fastener members having an intermittent arrangement on a tread inner circumferential surface, the surface fastener members having a uniform cross-sectional dimension, an overall band-like shape, and a length in a tire axial direction from 50% to 120% of a maximum belt width of the pneumatic tire; wherein an angle between a longitudinal direction of the surface fastener members and the tire axial direction is from 0 degrees to 45 degrees; and an installation period in a tire circumferential direction is from 80% to 150% of the length in the tire axial direction of the surface fastener members.
Pneumatic Tire
A pneumatic tire includes a tread portion, sidewall portions, bead portions, and has at least one carcass layer disposed between the pair of bead portions. The ratio SW/OD between the total tire width SW and the tire external diameter OD satisfies the relationship SW/OD0.3. A first region A is defined between a pair of first boundary lines (L1, L1), second regions B are defined between a first boundary line (L1) and a second boundary line (L2), and third regions C are defined on the bead toe side of the second boundary lines (L2). Defining SA, SB, and SC as the cross-sectional area (mm.sup.2) of the first region A to the third region C, and defining the peripheral lengths (mm) of the first region A to third region C along the tire inner surface as a, b, and c, respectively, the relationship 7.5SA/a11.5 is satisfied.
PNEUMATIC TIRE
To reduce noise while suppressing increase in rolling resistance, without affecting the formation of a carcass line, provided is a pneumatic tire (10) including: a carcass (13); an inclined belt (14), and an inner liner (17). The inclined belt (14) is disposed on the tire radial outer side of the crown portion of the carcass (13). The inclined belt (14) includes at least one inclined belt layer (16). The inclined belt layer (16) has cords extending as being inclined at 35 or more with respect to the tire circumferential direction. The inner liner (17) has a thickness of 1.5 mm or more at least in part of a side portion (19).
