Tire
A tire comprises a tread portion 2. The tread portion 2 comprises a plurality of oblique grooves 10 extending obliquely from a first tread edge Te1 positioned on one side in a tire axial direction toward a tire equator C, and a plurality of oblique land regions 13 each defined between a pair of the oblique grooves 10 adjacent to each other in a tire circumferential direction. Each of the oblique land regions 13 is provided with a plurality of joint grooves 15 each connecting between the pair of the oblique grooves 10.
TIRE
A tire includes a tread surface portion with inclined grooves, 2ND longitudinal grooves, and shoulder longitudinal grooves; and an indicator portion that indicates a rotation direction of the tire in which a vehicle travels forward. The inclined groove gradually extends forward in the rotation direction toward a tire equator from the outside in the tire width direction. A front surface among inner surfaces defining the inclined groove includes a first side surface with an inner end portion to which the 2ND longitudinal groove is open, a second side surface positioned closer to an inside than the first side surface and of which an outer end portion is positioned closer to a rear side than the inner end portion of the first side surface, and a stepped surface that connects an inner edge of the first side surface to an outer edge of the second side surface and faces the outside.
Motorcycle tire
A motorcycle tire includes a tread portion provided with inclined main grooves arranged between the tire equator and a first tread edge and sub-grooves smaller than the inclined main grooves in groove width. The inclined main grooves include inner main grooves each extending from a first end located on the tire equator side to a second end located on the first tread edge side with an inclination with respect to a tire circumferential direction, wherein no other grooves are provided between the first end of each inner main groove and the tire equator. The sub-grooves include first sub-grooves extending from the inner main grooves toward the tire equator with an opposite inclination direction to the inner main grooves with respect to the tire circumferential direction and terminating on the tire equator side without being communicated with any other grooves.
PNEUMATIC TIRE
A pneumatic tire comprises at least one block partitioned by a block partitioning groove, the at least one block comprises a first block groove extending from an edge toward a first side in a tire circumferential direction of the at least one block so as to be directed toward a second side in the tire circumferential direction, and a second block groove extending from an edge toward the second side in the tire circumferential direction of the at least one block so as to be directed toward the first side in the tire circumferential direction, and the first block groove and the second block groove appear to overlap as viewed in a tire width direction.
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.
PNEUMATIC TIRE
A tire includes side protectors arranged in a sidewall portion. Each of the side protectors is provided with a groove. The groove includes a first inclined groove portion inclined to a first side with respect to the tire radial direction, or a second inclined groove portion inclined to a second side opposite to the first side with respect to the tire radial direction. The side protectors include first protectors each provided with the first inclined groove portion, and second protectors each provided with the second inclined groove portion.
Pneumatic Tire
A pneumatic tire includes shoulder lands and a center land, defined by main grooves on both sides of an equator in a zigzag pattern along a circumferential direction, are defined in a tread. Shoulder lug grooves extending in a width direction are formed in each of the shoulder lands. First and second center lug grooves, which extend from the shoulder lug grooves across each of the main grooves and are inclined at an angle of 45-70 with respect to the width direction, are disposed in the center land. The first center lug groove terminates at the equator, and the second center lug groove terminates without reaching the equator. The first and second center lug grooves are alternately disposed in the circumferential direction. Connecting grooves inclined in an opposite direction to an inclination direction of the center lug grooves to connect the center lug grooves are formed in the center land.
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.
TIRE
A tire that can suppress an unused tire from giving an impression like a worn tire as compared with a case where the brightness of a tread surface and the brightness of a bottom surface of a groove are the same is obtained. The tread portion includes a tread portion including a tread surface and a groove that partitions the tread surface; and a plurality of protrusions that protrude from a bottom surface of the groove at a height of from 0.1 mm to 1.0 mm and are arranged at an interval of from more than 0.1 mm to 1.0 mm. A ratio of a height of the protrusions to a depth of the groove (protrusion height/groove depth) is from 0.02 to 0.2. mm
PNEUMATIC TIRE
Provided is a tire including, in a tread surface, a plurality of land portions partitioned by a circumferential main groove extending continuously in a tire circumferential direction on at least one side in a tire width direction, and comprising, in an internal land portion located in a vehicle-installed inside half portion to a tire equator plane among the plurality of land portions, a resonator including an auxiliary groove that terminates in the internal land portion, and a branch groove that communicates between the auxiliary groove and the circumferential main groove, and a hidden groove having an opening width in the tread surface that is smaller than a groove width of a groove bottom is provided in at least a part of the auxiliary groove.
