TIRE HAVING IMPROVED UNIFORMITY AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SAME
A method for manufacturing a tire comprising a carcass reinforcement comprising a carcass layer and a working reinforcement comprising a single working layer comprising forming, around a support, a wound carcass assembly (52) intended to form the carcass layer and a wound working assembly intended to form the working layer, and then deforming the support. The wound carcass assembly (52) is formed so as to form either a junction (56) by abutment without forming a superposition, or a junction (56) by overlapping, or without forming a junction.
RUN-FLAT TIRE
A bead portion of a run-flat tire includes a bead core portion having a bead cord, a first bead filler portion continuous to the bead core portion and provided outside in the tire radial direction of the bead core portion, and a second bead filler portion provided outside in the tire width direction of the first bead filler portion via a carcass ply. The second bead filler portion is formed of a resin material.
TIRE WITH LOW ROLLING RESISTANCE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SAME
A tire comprises a crown reinforcement comprising: a working reinforcement comprising a single working layer and a hoop reinforcement arranged radially outside the working reinforcement and comprising at least one hooping filamentary reinforcing element (170) wound circumferentially helically so as to extend axially from one axial edge to the other axial edge of the hoop reinforcement. The or each hooping filamentary reinforcing element (170) consists of: two multifilament strands (1701, 1702) of aromatic polyamide or aromatic copolyamide and one multifilament strand (1703) of aliphatic polyamide or of polyester, or three polyester multifilament strands, each multifilament strand (1701, 1702, 1703) being wound in a helix around a main axis (W) common to the three multifilament strands (1701, 1702, 1703). The hoop reinforcement has a tangent modulus at 1.3% elongation ranging from 200 to 650 daN/mm.
TRUCK TIRE
A pneumatic tire for use on trucks, the tire comprising a tread and a belt structure located radially inward of the tread, the belt structure including a pair of working belts, wherein the working belts are reinforced plies each comprising parallel reinforcement elements, wherein the angle of the reinforcement elements in the respective working belt ranges from 12 degrees to 35 degrees from the circumferential direction, wherein the belt structure further includes a low angle belt positioned between the working belts comprising parallel reinforcement elements angled at less than 5 degrees from the circumferential direction, and wherein a first and second narrow belt is positioned on the lateral ends of the low angle belt, and wherein the first and second narrow belt are each positioned radially inward of an axially outermost groove on each side of the tread.
TRUCK TIRE
A pneumatic tire for use on trucks, the tire comprising a tread and a belt structure located radially inward of the tread, the belt structure including a pair of working belts, wherein the working belts are reinforced plies each comprising parallel reinforcement elements, wherein the angle of the reinforcement elements in the respective working belt ranges from 12 degrees to 35 degrees from the circumferential direction, wherein the belt structure further includes a low angle belt positioned between the working belts comprising parallel reinforcement elements angled at less than 5 degrees from the circumferential direction, and wherein a first and second narrow belt is positioned on the lateral ends of the low angle belt, and wherein the first and second narrow belt are each positioned radially inward of an axially outermost groove on each side of the tread.
Tire
A tire includes an annular tire structural member in which a resin-covered cord, configured by covering a reinforcing cord with a resin including a protrusion formed on a side face, is wound in a spiral shape with the resin at one portion of the resin-covered cord integrally bonded to the resin at another mutually adjacent portion of the resin-covered cord.
Pneumatic Vehicle Tires
The invention relates to radial-type pneumatic vehicle tires comprising at least one carcass layer (3), a profiled tread (1), a two-layer belt (2), and a belt bandage (6) which covers the belt and which comprises bandage cords that run in the circumferential direction of the tire and consist of at least one thread made of a textile material. The belt bandage (6) has a central bandage part (7) and two lateral bandage parts (8), wherein the central bandage part (7) reaches laterally beyond the edges of the radially outer belt layer (2b), and the two lateral bandage parts (8) adjoin the central bandage part (7), cover the respective remaining edge portion of the two belt layers (2b), and run axially outside of the edges of the radially inner belt layer (2a) so as to contact a carcass layer (3) portion with a width of up to 15 mm. The bandage cord in the central bandage part (7) consists of a single thread, and the bandage cord in the lateral bandage parts (8) consists of two threads twisted together.
PNEUMATIC MOTORCYCLE TIRE
The pneumatic motorcycle tire includes a spiral belt, wherein: an aspect ratio of the tire is 60% or more; at a standard condition, each lap of reinforcing cords is located at a constant spacing along a periphery of the spiral belt among the entire tire width direction; in the tire widthwise cross section, a spacing A along the periphery of the spiral belt between each lap of the reinforcing cords adjacent in the tire width direction is 3.5 mm or more and 6.0 mm or less; a spacing B along the periphery of the spiral belt between the two reinforcing cords for forming the strip member is 0.8 mm or more and 1.5 mm or less; and a rupture strength of one of the reinforcing cords is 200 N or more and 1000 N or less.
Pneumatic tire
A pneumatic tire comprises a carcass layer, a belt layer disposed on an outer side of the carcass layer in a tire radial direction, and a tread rubber disposed on the outer side of the belt layer in the tire radial direction. The belt layer formed by laminating an angle belt having a belt angle≧45° and ≦70° in absolute values, a pair of cross belts, having belt angles of ≧10° and ≦45° in absolute values and having belt angles of mutually opposite signs, and a circumferential reinforcing layer having a belt angle within a range of ±5° with respect to a tire circumferential direction.
