Heavy duty tire
In a tire 2, in a normal state, a profile of a tread surface 22 includes a crown circular arc as a circular arc representing a profile of a portion including an equator PC, and the crown circular arc has a radius of not less than 1600 mm and not greater than 2000 mm. On a ground-contact surface 52 obtained when a load is applied to the tire 2 in the normal state and the tread surface 22 is brought into contact with a flat road surface, an ultra-light load shape index F30 is higher than a light load shape index F60, the ultra-light load shape index F30 is not less than 1.10 and not greater than 1.20, and the light load shape index F60 is not less than 1.04 and not greater than 1.14.

TIRE CONSTRUCTION WITH FLATTENED SUMMIT AND CIRCUMFERENTIAL REINFORCEMENT
A tire constructed with a plurality of reinforcement belts is provided. At least one of the reinforcement belts extends along the axial width of the tire summit and is constructed according to an equilibrium curve that is flat throughout the summit. The reinforcement belts include cable reinforcements that are substantially parallel to the equatorial plane. Substantial reductions in the tension experienced by the cables can be achieved to provide, as a result, improvements in e.g., tread wear.

Pneumatic tire with cylindrical metal annular structure and method of manufacturing same
A pneumatic tire includes: an annular structure that is cylindrical and metal where at least an outer side surface in the radial direction is a rough surface; a tread rubber layer that will become a tread portion provided along a circumferential direction of the annular structure on an outer side of the annular structure; and a carcass portion including fibers covered with rubber, provided on at least both sides in a direction parallel to a center axis of the cylindrical structure including the annular structure and the tread rubber layer.
STUDDED TYRE HAVING REDUCED ROAD WEAR
A tyre (200) includes a tread (210) and multiple studs (100) in the tread (210) such that at least pins (110) of the studs (100) are exposed on the tread (210). The tyre (200) is configured such that a load index (LI) of the tyre (200) as defined in The European Tyre and Rim Technical Organization Standards Manual (2023) table G.7 is from eighty-six to one hundred sixteen (from 86 to 116). The tyre (200) is further configured such that a road wear of the tyre (200) as measured according to the standard SFS7503:2022:en is less than the value calculatable by the polynomial formula 0.000139LI.sup.2+0.0431LI1.90.
