In the tire, each shoulder land portion includes a groove wall portion forming a wall of a shoulder circumferential groove, and a cap portion located outward of the groove wall portion in an axial direction. A wear resistance index of the groove wall portion is lower than a wear resistance index of the cap portion. A ratio of a distance in the axial direction from an outer edge of the shoulder circumferential groove to a boundary between the groove wall portion and the cap portion on an outer surface of the shoulder land portion, to a width in the axial direction of the shoulder land portion, is not less than 20% and not greater than 30%.
PNEUMATIC TIRE
A pneumatic tire is provided. A carcass layer includes carcass cords formed of organic fiber cords obtained by intertwining a filament bundle of organic fibers, and includes turn-up portions formed by turning up end portions of a pair of bead portions to an outer side in a tire width direction. The carcass cords have an elongation at break (EB) satisfying EB≥15%. A portion of a belt layer located in a width range of 10% of a width of a second widest belt in the belt layer on each of a left side and a right side of a tire equator line in a tire width direction has a belt angle (θc) satisfying 0.349 rad≤θc≤0.56 rad. The elongation at break (EB) of the carcass cords and the belt angle (θc) satisfy 800<1140×θc+20×EB<1400.
TIRE
In a tire, an inclination angle of a cord included in a second belt layer with respect to a tire width direction is defined as a positive inclination angle in a tire see-through plan view, an intersection point between a perpendicular line drawn from an end portion of a belt layer having a maximum belt width in the tire width direction to a carcass and a cord of an outermost carcass layer in a tire radial direction is defined as a first reference point in a tire meridian cross-sectional view, and an inclination angle of the cord with respect to the tire width direction at the first reference point is −3° or more in the tire see-through plan view.
HEAVY-DUTY TIRE
A heavy-duty tire comprises a tread reinforcing belt comprising first to fourth belt plies each composed of belt cords inclined with respect to the tire equatorial plane. The first radial distance L1 between the belt cords of the third belt ply and the belt cords of the fourth belt ply is not more than the second radial distance L2 between the belt cords of the second belt ply and the belt cords of the third belt ply. The cord count E4 of the fourth belt ply is smaller than the cord count E3 of the third belt ply.
TIRE
The present disclosure provides a tire having excellent enduring performance. The present disclosure relates to a tire including a tread containing a rubber composition, the rubber composition satisfying the following relationships 1) to 3) when measured within 180 days after vulcanization: 1) Hso/Hsa×100≥95 wherein Hso: hardness at room temperature, Hsa: hardness at room temperature after heat treatment at 80° C. for 168 hours; 2) As/Ts×100≤70 wherein Ts: sulfur content before acetone extraction, As: sulfur content after acetone extraction; and 3) Swell≤330 wherein Swell: toluene swelling index.
PNEUMATIC TIRE
A carcass layer of a pneumatic lire includes carcass cords of organic fiber cords obtained by intertw ining a filament bundle of organic fibers, and includes turn-up portions formed by turning back end portions of the carcass layer at bead portions toward an outer side in a width direction. The carcass cords have an elongation at break (EB) satisfying EB≥15%. An averagetotal gauge (GC)of a center land portion located within a width of 10% of a width of a second widest belt in a belt layer on right and left sides of an equatorial plane in the width direction, an average thickness(SG) of a sound absorptive member inside the pneumatic tire and located within a range identical to that of the center land portion, and the elongation at break (EB) of the carcass cords satisfy 15≤GC/(GC+SG/10)×EB (%)≤25.
TIRE HAVING AN IMPROVED TREAD
