Pneumatic radial tire with specified bead portions
A pneumatic radial tire includes a bead filler, a carcass ply, a steel protection layer, and an organic fiber protection layer. A reinforcing rubber sandwiches a wind-up end of the steel protection layer. A relationship of 1A/B2 is satisfied between a width A from the wind-up end of the steel protection layer to a tire inner surface, and a width B from the wind-up end of the steel protection layer to a tire outer surface. The wind-up end of the carcass ply is covered with a ply cover member. A relationship of 0.8D/C1.2 is satisfied between a thickness C of a second bead filler positioning between the ply cover member and a first bead filler, and a thickness D of the reinforcing rubber positioning between the ply cover member and the steel protection layer.
Lightweight tire
A tire has an axis of rotation. The tire includes two inextensible annular bead structures for attachment to a vehicle rim, a carcass-like structure having at least one reinforced ply, the carcass-like structure being wound about the two bead structures, a tread disposed radially outward of the carcass-like structure, and a shear band structure disposed radially between the carcass-like structure and the tread. The two bead structures include at least one layer of a three dimensional fabric including a tear drop frame structure and open cells defined by the tear drop frame structure.
PNEUMATIC TIRE
A pneumatic tire includes a carcass ply that is wound up around a bead core from an inside to an outside in a tire axial direction; an inner metal reinforcing layer and an outer metal reinforcing layer that are wound up on an outside of the carcass ply from the inside to the outside in the tire axial direction; and a buffer layer that is provided between the inner metal reinforcing layer and the outer metal reinforcing layer, and is wound up from the inside to the outside in the tire axial direction. The buffer layer includes a rubber having a higher hardness than those of a carcass rubber configuring the carcass ply and a covering rubber configuring the inner metal reinforcing layer and the outer metal reinforcing layer.
PASSENGER ALL-STEEL TIRE AND TURN UP PROCESS IN BUILDING PROCESS THEREOF
The present application relates to the field of tires and provides a passenger all-steel tire and a turn-up process in a building process thereof. It is advantageous to improve tire strength, impact resistance, endurance and prolong service life. A longitudinal section of the passenger all-steel tire comprises a crown (1) located at an outer side of an upper portion, shoulders (2) located on two sides of the crown (1) and connected to the crown (1), a sidewall (3) connected to the shoulder (2), a bead (6) located at a lower portion of the sidewall (3) and matched with a rim, and a carcass (4) located at an inner side of the longitudinal section and the carcass (4) is a ply of all-steel carcass (41).
TIRE HAVING CHAFER STRUCTURE FOR ENHANCING BEAD ENDURANCE
The present invention provides a tire having improved bead endurance in which cords of a steel chafer are waved and the advancing direction of the waves of the steel chafer is perpendicular to the advancing direction of carcass cords, thereby minimizing cracks at an edge of the carcass. The tire having a chafer structure for enhancing bead endurance includes: a carcass having carcass cords; and a steel chafer covering the carcass and having a plurality of waved chafer cords.
PNEUMATIC TIRE
The pneumatic tire comprises a tread portion, a pair of sidewall portions and a pair of bead portions. At least one of the bead portions is provided with at least one electronic component, a bead apex rubber extending radially outwardly from a bead core, and a bead reinforcing layer extending in the tire radial direction along the bead apex rubber. The bead reinforcement layer comprises a steel cord ply having a spliced portion where both circumferential end portions thereof are overlap-jointed. The electronic component is arranged away from the spliced portion in the tire circumferential direction, and located within the arranged range in the tire radial direction of the steel cord ply.
PNEUMATIC TIRE
A pneumatic tire can include a carcass, a belt layer, and reinforcing rubber layers. Turned-up portions of a carcass ply each include a first portion located between a body portion and the belt layer, a second portion adjacent to each reinforcing rubber layer in a tire axial direction, on an outer side in a tire radial direction with respect to a rim flange of a standardized rim, and a third portion located between the first portion and the second portion. A length of the third portion is 0.8 to 1.4 times a sum (La+Lb) of a length La of the first portion and a length Lb of the second portion.
Tire with bead having specified bead filler and rigidifying reinforcement
Tire having two beads having an annular reinforcing structure and a carcass reinforcement anchored in the two beads by a turn-up. Each bead has a bead rubber filler extending a radial distance from the radially innermost point of the annular reinforcing structure of the bead. The radial distance is not more than 10% of the tire's radial height. A sidewall has rigidifying metal reinforcing elements oriented along an angle not more than 10 to the circumferential direction and positioned with the distance between the radially innermost point of the annular reinforcing structure and the radially outer end of the rigidifying reinforcement between 20% and 40%, inclusive, of the tire's radial height and with the distance between the radially innermost point of the annular reinforcing structure and the radially inner end of the rigidifying reinforcement not more than 20% of the tire's radial height.
PNEUMATIC TIRE
Provided is a pneumatic tire in which fiber reinforced layers on an outer side of a steel reinforced layer in a width direction each include fiber cords arranged in one direction, the fiber cords being oriented to cross each other between layers, a radially outer end of one of the fiber reinforced layers being radially outward of a turned-up end portion of a carcass layer, a radially outer end portion of another one of the fiber reinforced layers being radially inward of the turned-up end portion and radially outward of a line segment (K). Radially inner end portions of the fiber reinforced layers are inward in the width direction of a line segment (J), and cord angles A and B of the fiber reinforced layers satisfy 20|A|45 or 70|A|90, and 20|B|45 or 70|B|90.
PNEUMATIC TIRE
A tire 2 of the present invention includes a pair of fillers 20 turned up around beads 10. Each filler 20 has multiple cords made of steel and aligned with each other. In the tire 2, an outer surface of a chafer 8 has a bottom surface 26 that contacts with a seat surface of a rim 30. When a reference line M represents a straight line that contacts with the bottom surface 26 in a cross-section obtained by cutting the tire at the plane perpendicular to the circumferential direction, the bottom surface 26 has a depression 66 that is shaped so as to project radially outward of the reference line M. A ratio (D/L) of a maximum depth D of the depression 66 to a width L of the depression 66 is greater than or equal to 0.007 and not greater than 0.060.
