The belt 38 includes a plurality of belt plies 42 aligned in a radial direction. The band 40 includes a full band 48 having ends 48e opposed to each other across an equator plane CL, and a pair of edge bands 50 located outward of the ends 48e of the full band 48 in the radial direction. In an axial direction, each end 48e of the full band 48 is located outward of a shoulder circumferential groove 28s formed on the tread 4.
Tire with multiple body plies
A tire includes a pair of beads and a plurality of body plies extending between the pair of beads, including at least a first body ply and a second body ply. The first body ply wraps around each of the pair of beads, and has a first pair of turn up portions having a first height. The second body ply wraps around each of the pair of beads, and has a second pair of turn up portions having a second height greater than the first height. Each of the second pair of turn up portions is axially inside each of the first turn up portions. The tire also includes a circumferential belt disposed radially above the plurality of body plies, a circumferential tread disposed radially above the circumferential belt, and a pair of sidewalls extending between the pair of beads and the circumferential tread. The tire also has a pair of stabilizer ply inserts, including a first stabilizer ply insert and a second stabilizer ply insert.
TIRE HAVING A CONDUCTIVE PATH IN A SIDEWALL
A tire includes a circumferential tread disposed in a crown region of the tire and an undertread disposed below the circumferential tread. The tire also has a pair of bead regions, including a first bead region and a second bead region, and a body ply extending from the first bead region to the second bead region. The tire further has a pair of sidewalls, including a first sidewall extending between the first bead region and the circumferential tread and a second sidewall extending between the second bead region and the circumferential tread. The tire also has a sidewall antenna adjacent to the first sidewall. The sidewall antenna has a first end contacting the undertread and a second end contacting the body ply.
HEAVY DUTY PNEUMATIC TIRE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF
A tire 2 includes a tread 4 on which at least three circumferential grooves 24 continuously extending in a circumferential direction are formed, and a belt 14 located radially inward of the tread 4. A ratio of a center stretch, at a center portion of the belt, indicated by the follow/Mg formula (2) to a shoulder stretch, at an end portion of the belt, indicated by the following formula (1) is not less than 1 and not greater than 3, and the shoulder stretch is not less than 1%.
(Shoulder stretch)
100×(Rsa−Rsb)/Rsb (1)
(Center stretch)
100×(Rca−Rcb)/Rcb (2)
Pneumatic tire
A pneumatic tire includes cross belts and one or more protective belts provided in the tire radial direction. A width of a widest protective belt is greater than a width of any of the cross belts. In the tire profile, a maximum projection position of the widest protective belt is A, an end position of the widest protective belt is B, a position at which a straight line a passing through position A extending in the direction normal to a tread surface intersects with the tread surface is A′, and a position at which a straight line b passing through position B extending in the direction normal to the tread surface intersects with the tread surface is B′. An angle formed between a first straight line that links position A and position B and a second straight line that links position A′ and position B′ is from 0° to 15°.
PNEUMATIC TIRE
A pneumatic tire includes a tread portion, sidewall portions, bead cores, an inner member including side portions and being continuous between the bead cores, a discontinuous ply disposed on an outer side in a tire radial direction of the inner member, and including ply pieces each having an inner end portion disposed in the tread portion, a side portion, and a winding portion wound up on the bead cores, a belt covering inner ends portion of the ply from the outer side in the tire radial direction, first joining members arranged between the inner end portions of the ply pieces and the inner member, and a pair of second joining members arranged between the inner end portions of the ply pieces and the belt, and each including an extending portion extending toward an outer side in a tire width direction beyond an end portion of the belt.
CROWN ARCHITECTURE OF AN ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE TIRE FOR A CIVIL ENGINEERING VEHICLE
The compromise between the performance aspects of endurance and wear of a tyre for construction plant vehicles is improved, while limiting the mean operating temperature thereof to an appropriate level of around 100 C., and while ensuring its capacity of being electrically conductive, that is to say of discharging electrostatic charges that have built up during running. For this purpose, the tread comprises three parts: two electrically conductive tread wings and a central portion that is optimized in terms of hysteresis and is therefore not electrically conductive. The pathway for discharging electrostatic charges connects the tread wings to the rim, passing via electrically conductive edging rubbers positioned at the axial ends of the layers of the crown.
TIRE WITH MULTIPLE BODY PLIES
A tire includes a pair of beads and a plurality of body plies extending between the pair of beads, including at least a first body ply and a second body ply. The first body ply wraps around each of the pair of beads, and has a first pair of turn up portions having a first height. The second body ply wraps around each of the pair of beads, and has a second pair of turn up portions having a second height greater than the first height. Each of the second pair of turn up portions is axially inside each of the first turn up portions. The tire also includes a circumferential belt disposed radially above the plurality of body plies, a circumferential tread disposed radially above the circumferential belt, and a pair of sidewalls extending between the pair of beads and the circumferential tread. The tire also has a pair of stabilizer ply inserts, including a first stabilizer ply insert and a second stabilizer ply insert.
PNEUMATIC TIRE
A pneumatic tire according to the present disclosure is a pneumatic tire comprising an annular rubber-coated belt including a cord and a coating rubber with which the cord is coated, and comprises a resin layer located inside or outside the rubber-coated belt in a tire radial direction, and having an elastic modulus larger than an elastic modulus of the coating rubber, and a cushion material interposed in at least a space between an outer end of one of the rubber-coated belt and the resin layer in a tire width direction and the other one of the rubber-coated belt and the resin layer, and having an elastic modulus smaller than the elastic modulus of the coating rubber.
Pneumatic Tire
A pneumatic tire comprises a carcass layer, a belt layer disposed on the outer side in the tire radial direction of the carcass layer, and tread rubber disposed on the outer side in the tire radial direction of the belt layer. The belt layer is formed by laminating a pair of cross belts having belt angles with an absolute value from 10 to 45 both inclusive and mutually opposite signs, and a circumferential reinforcing layer having a belt angle within a range of 5 relative to the tire circumferential direction. The distance (Gcc) from the tread profile to the tire inner circumferential surface along the tire equatorial plane and the distance (Gsh) from the tread edge to the tire inner circumferential surface have a relationship satisfying 1.10Gsh/Gcc. The groove depth (Dsh) and under-groove gauge (UDsh) of the outermost circumferential main groove have a relationship satisfying 0.20UDsh/Dsh.
