Tyre for winter
A tyre for winter comprises a tread portion 2 having a first tread edge (Te1) and a second tread edge (Te2) and sipes 40 provided in at least a part of the tread portion 2. The tread portion 2 is provided with a plurality of first oblique grooves (10A) each extending obliquely from the first tread edge (Te1) toward the second tread edge (Te2). Each of the first oblique grooves (10A) has an inner end (10a) terminating between a tyre equator (C) and the second tread edge (Te2). The inner end (10a) is not connected with other grooves.
PNEUMATIC TIRE
A center land has first center notches, second center notches, center slits, a first land end and a second land end. The first center notches and the center slits open onto the first land end in alternating fashion as one proceeds along a tire circumferential direction. The second center notches and the center slits open onto the second land end in alternating fashion as one proceeds along the tire circumferential direction. A quarter land has first quarter slits, first quarter notches, second quarter slits, second quarter notches, a third land end and a fourth land end. The first quarter slits and the first quarter notches open onto the third land end in alternating fashion as one proceeds along the tire circumferential direction. The second quarter slits and the second quarter notches open onto the fourth land end in alternating fashion as one proceeds along the tire circumferential direction.
Pneumatic tire
A pneumatic tire includes a first main groove in a circumferential direction outward of an equatorial plane in a vehicle width direction, a second main groove in the circumferential direction at a position closer to the equatorial plane than the first main groove, a third main groove in the circumferential direction at a position inward of the equatorial plane in the vehicle width direction, and a fourth main groove in the circumferential direction at a position farther from the equatorial plane than the third main groove; relationships 1.05≤G1/G3≤1.25, 1.20≤G2/G3≤1.40, and 1.10≤G4/G3≤1.30 are satisfied; and relationships G3<G1<G2 and G3<G1<G4 are satisfied, where G1 is a first main groove width, G2 is a second main groove width, G3 is a third main groove width, and G4 is a fourth main groove width.
Pneumatic tire
A pneumatic tire includes an inclined groove disposed in a first land portion and/or a second land portion which includes at least two bent portions. A sipe is disposed in the first land portion and/or the second land portion so as to intersect the inclined groove at 90°±30°. The sipe includes at least one bent portion.
Tire
In a pneumatic tire 10 according to the present invention, as an average sipe interval hc defined by an average interval of sipes adjacent to each other in a tire circumferential direction in a center portion block, which is a block arranged at a position including a tire equatorial line, and an average sipe interval hs is defined in a shoulder portion block, which is a block located at an ground contact end in a tire width direction, a relation of 1.05≤(hs/hc)≤4.00 is fulfilled.
Tire
A tire having a tread portion with: zigzag shoulder main grooves having a trapezoidal wave form comprising first and second circumferential segments and first and second oblique segments; and shoulder axial grooves extending from the shoulder main grooves beyond the tread edges. The shoulder axial grooves are respectively smoothly continued to the first oblique segments or the second oblique segments so as to form composite shoulder axial grooves whose groove widths are smoothly increased toward the axially outside of the tire.
PNEUMATIC TIRE
In a state in which a pneumatic tire is mounted on a specified rim, inflated to 92% of a specified internal pressure, and loaded with a load of 75% of the maximum load capacity, an average thickness of an undertread rubber is smaller in a center region than in a shoulder region, a ratio (CAO/UAO) is 0.15 or more and 0.95 or less, a ratio (UAI/UAO) is less than 1, and a ratio (L/W) is 0.29 or more and 0.51 or less, in a tire meridian cross-sectional view, where CAO, UAO and UAI are cross-sectional areas of the cap tread rubber, the undertread rubber, and the undertread rubber in the center region, respectively, L is a tire width direction dimension from a defined intersection point to a ground contact edge, and W is a tire width direction dimension of each shoulder region.
Tread for a pneumatic tire
A tread for a tire includes: a first tread zone extending circumferentially, continuously, and entirely around the tire, the first tread zone being formed of a first compound; a second tread zone extending circumferentially, continuously, and entirely around the tire, the second tread zone being formed of a second compound different from the first compound; and a boundary groove axially separating the first tread zone from the second tread zone, the first tread zone, the second tread zone, and the boundary groove entirely forming the tread, the boundary groove having an axial centerline disposed an axial distance from an equatorial plane of the tire. The first tread zone has a first circumferential groove and a sidewall portion defining an intermediate circumferential rib of the first tread zone and a shoulder circumferential rib of the first tread zone.
TIRE
A tire includes a first land portion with a ground contacting surface provided with inclined sipes inclined in a first direction to the tire axial direction. The inclined sipes include first and second inclined sipes arranged adjacently in the tire circumferential direction. Each first inclined sipe includes a first deep-bottom portion located on a first circumferential edge side, and a first shallow-bottom portion located on a second circumferential edge side and having a smaller depth than the first deep-bottom portion. Each second inclined sipe includes a second deep-bottom portion located on the second circumferential edge side, and a second shallow-bottom portion located on the first circumferential edge side and having a smaller depth than the second deep-bottom portion. Each second deep-bottom portion is arranged so as to overlap a projection region in which a respective first deep-bottom portion is expanded parallel to the tire axial direction.
TIRE
A tire includes a tread portion includes circumferential grooves and a land portion divided by the circumferential grooves. The land portion has a ground contacting surface provided with first blind grooves, second blind grooves, first connecting ,sipes, second connecting sipes, and transverse sipes. The transverse sipes include first portions extending from a first circumferential edge with an inclination, second portions extending from the second circumferential edge and inclined in a same direction as with the inclination of the first portions, and third portions connecting the first and second portions with an inclination at a different angle from that of the inclination the first and second portions. In a plan view of the tread portion, the first portions overlap projection regions in which the respective first connecting sipes or the respective second connecting sipes are expanded parallel to the tire axial direction.
