Agricultural vehicle tire
Tire tread with main lugs extending from a tread edge to the equatorial mid-plane on each side of which are a plurality of secondary lugs (4) extending over 40% to 60% of the tread half-width, each secondary lug (4) having a width 20% to 40% of the shortest distance between two main lugs (3). Each main lug (3) comprises, on its trailing lateral face (32), a widened portion (320) of width D1 extending over an axial distance from a tread edge and being joined to the main lug by end face (321) inclined at an angle B1 between 18 degrees and 25 degrees to the circumferential direction. Each secondary lug (4) has end face (43) inclined at an angle S1 with the same orientation as angle B1 with respect to the circumferential direction, angle S1 being between 18 degrees and 25 degrees.
Pneumatic vehicle tire
A pneumatic vehicle tire including a utility vehicle tire has a tread with profile positives which are separated from one another in a circumferential direction by transverse channels which extend continuously from the central region of the tread as far as the lateral tread edges, respectively. The transverse channels are main channels of the tread and, at least over the major part of the course thereof, have the maximum provided profile depth. The transverse channels are provided, on the respective channel base thereof, with a row of base elevations formed so as to be distributed over the entire course of the transverse channels. The base elevations are attached to the channel flanks of the transverse channels and are configured such that their rubber volume becomes smaller the closer to the tread edge they are disposed.
Tread for an agricultural vehicle tire
Tread of a tire for an agricultural vehicle having each lug (3) extending over a radial height H in a radial direction (ZZ′) from a bottom surface (5) to a contact face (6), extending over an axial width L in an axial direction (YY′) from an axially inner end face (7) to an axially outer end face (8), and extending over a mean thickness E in the circumferential direction (XX′) from a trailing face (9) to a leading face (10). The leading face (10) of each lug (3) comprises a discontinuity (11) that extends circumferentially in the direction of the trailing face (9), axially inwards from the axially outer end face (8) and radially inwards from the contact face (6). The discontinuity (11) on the leading face (10) of each lug (3) is continued by a recess (12) formed in the bottom surface (5).
Pneumatic tire with annular sidewall concavity
A pneumatic tire has a non-stretchable tread (30) flanked by two shoulder regions (34), and two non-stretchable bead regions (36) for mounting the tire to a wheel, each bead region being connected via a sidewall to the corresponding bead region. Each sidewall has a first portion (38) extending inwardly relative to a width of the tire from one of the bead regions (36) to a deflection region (40), and a second portion (42) extending outwardly relative to the width of the tire from the deflection region (40) to a corresponding one of the shoulder regions (34). A non-stretchable girth-limiting configuration (44, 46, 56) and a radial reinforcing structure (48, 50, 52) are associated with the first portion (38) of each of the sidewalls, thereby limiting radial flexing of first portion (38) and maintaining an annular concavity between the bead region (36) and the shoulder region (34).
PNEUMATIC TIRE WITH ANNULAR SIDEWALL CONCAVITY
A pneumatic tire has a non-stretchable tread (30) flanked by two shoulder regions (34), and two non-stretchable bead regions (36) for mounting the tire to a wheel, each bead region being connected via a sidewall to the corresponding bead region. Each sidewall has a first portion (38) extending inwardly relative to a width of the tire from one of the bead regions (36) to a deflection region (40), and a second portion (42) extending outwardly relative to the width of the tire from the deflection region (40) to a corresponding one of the shoulder regions (34). A non-stretchable girth-limiting configuration (44, 46, 56) and a radial reinforcing structure (48, 50, 52) are associated with the first portion (38) of each of the sidewalls, thereby limiting radial flexing of first portion (38) and maintaining an annular concavity between the bead region (36) and the shoulder region (34).
Motorcycle tire for rough terrain
A motorcycle tire for running on rough terrain includes a tread portion. The tread portion includes a base surface and a plurality of blocks. The blocks include a crown block arranged on a tire equator side and a shoulder block arranged on a tread edge side. A height of the shoulder block from the base surface is larger than a height of the crown block from the base surface. The shoulder block is provided on the base surface side with a base portion that has a locally increased cross-section taken along the base surface.
Tyre for agricultural machine
A pneumatic tyre having an equatorial plane for an agricultural machine includes a tread having first lugs extending from the first lateral tread edge toward the equatorial plane, having an arcuate leading edge that arcs from the first lateral tread edge to an axial leading nose edge next to a substantially circumferential inner nose edge, and an arcuate trailing edge that arcs from the first lateral tread edge to the substantially circumferential inner nose edge; and second lugs extending from the second lateral tread edge toward the inner equatorial plane, having an arcuate leading edge that arcs from the second lateral tread edge to an axial leading nose edge next to a substantially circumferential inner nose edge, and an arcuate trailing edge that arcs from the second lateral tread edge to the substantially circumferential inner nose edge.
TIRE COMPRISING A TREAD
A tire comprises a directional tread (10), said tread comprising a central axis (12) and two edges (14A, 14B) a tread width W being greater than or equal to 140 mm, said tread (10) comprising a plurality of patterns (13) which succeed one another in the circumferential direction, each pattern having a pitch P, the patterns (13) delimiting a plurality of oblique grooves (16A, 16B), each oblique groove extending from one of the edges (14A, 14B) of the tread as far as the central axis (12). In a central part of the tread centered on the central axis (12) and of a width corresponding to 80% of the width W of said tread, all or some of the oblique grooves (16A, 16B) of the plurality of oblique grooves have a prescribed slenderness ratio, and all or some of the patterns comprise at least one sipe and have a prescribed sipes density SD.
Tire pattern structure
A tire pattern structure including a tread pattern and a sidewall pattern is formed by uniformly distributed patterns in the circumferential direction of a tire. The tread pattern is formed by two long spoon-shaped pattern blocks symmetrical with respect to the center of the tire tread and the axial direction of the tire. A spoon-shaped pattern block group is across the center of the tire tread and each interlaced and mapped sideway along the center of the tire tread formed by upper and lower long spoon-shaped pattern block groups. The two spoon-shaped patterns are coupled from a head block to a handle block and bent at the tire shoulder to couple the sidewall pattern formed by the upper and lower sidewall pattern blocks which are formed by a quadrilateral block of two protrusions and three recessed blocks to overcome rough terrains and provide excellent mud and water removing performance.
Pneumatic tire
A pneumatic tire includes alternating first and second groove portions. The first groove portion intersects an equator and extends in a width direction. The second groove portion inclines from the first groove portion to a tread edge at a smaller angle relative to a circumferential direction than an angle of the first groove portion relative to the circumferential direction. The first groove portion communicates with the second groove portion of the lug groove adjacent in the circumferential direction. The first groove portion is on a stepping side of each lug groove. The second groove portions are curved or bent and an average angle of the second groove portions in an inner region is smaller than in an outer region. Shallow grooves having a bent point are formed on blocks. The blocks are defined by circumferential narrow grooves connecting the second groove portions adjacent in the circumferential direction and the lug grooves.
