Provided is a pneumatic tire that, while ensuring a favorable drainage performance, enables exhibition of an excellent driving performance on both road surfaces of a paved road and an unpaved road. A pneumatic tire of the present invention is a pneumatic tire, including: a tread portion extending in a tire circumferential direction to form an annular shape; a pair of sidewall portions disposed on both sides of the tread portion; and a pair of bead portions disposed on a tire-radial-direction inner side of the sidewall portions; wherein at least one circumferential groove that, while extending continuously along the tire circumferential direction, is displaced periodically in a tire width direction is provided in the tread portion and a plurality of lug grooves with both ends closed extending in the tire width direction is scattered along the tire circumferential direction on both sides of the circumferential groove in the tread portion.

A method and a device for fixing a run flat support body to a pneumatic tire capable of avoiding the deterioration in the weight balance of wheels by preventing a lubricant applied to the inner surface of the tire from being nonuniformly distributed when the run flat support body is used. In the fixing method, the run flat support body formed of a pair of elastic rings disposed around a rim and an annular shell installed across these elastic rings is fixed to the pneumatic tire to which the rim is fitted while the run flat support body is inserted into the hollow part of the tire. The fixing device for restricting the radial movement of the run flat support body inserted into the hollow part is fitted to at least one of the bead parts of the pneumatic tire before the rim is fitted thereto to coaxially hold the pneumatic tire and the run flat support body (3) by the fixing device.

Provided are a method and a device for fixing a run-flat support body to a pneumatic tire. The method and the device can achieve the prevention of unevenness in the distribution of the lubricant applied to the inner surface of the tire in which the run-flat support body is used, and thus of deterioration in the weight balance of the wheel. In the fixing method, the run-flat support body configured of a pair of elastic rings to be arranged around a rim and an annular shell installed across these elastic rings is fixed to the pneumatic tire which is to be fitted to the rim with the run-flat support body inserted into a hollow part of the tire. The fixing device, for restricting the radial movements of the run-flat support body inserted into the hollow part, is fitted to at least one of bead parts of the pneumatic tire before the pneumatic tire is fitted to the rim so as to coaxially hold the pneumatic tire and the run-flat support body.

A pneumatic tire in which a sealant layer has been formed based on a decomposition reaction of polyisobutylene and which has an excellent puncture-preventing function while avoiding any inconvenience aroused by the sealant layer formation. The pneumatic tire has a sealant layer in that region of the inner surface of the tire which corresponds at least to the tread. The sealant layer is made of a pressure-sensitive adhesive sealant obtained by heating a rubber composition containing 0.2 to 20 parts by weight of a peroxide per 100 parts by weight of a rubber ingredient comprising at least 50 wt.% of polyisobutylene and 0.2 to 20 parts by weight of a peroxide. A liquid ethylene/α-olefin copolymer, liquid polybutadiene, or liquid polyisoprene is added as a pressure-sensitive adhesive for the sealant layer in an amount of 5 to 50 parts by weight.

Disclosed are a pneumatic tire, which exhibits excellent puncture-preventing function while avoiding inconvenience aroused when a sealant layer is formed based on decomposition reaction of polyisobutylene, a process for producing the same and a sealant rubber composition. This pneumatic tire is provided with the sealant layer in a region of the inner surface of the tire which corresponds at least to a tread. The sealant layer is made of an adhesive sealant obtained by heating a rubber composition containing 0.2 to 20 parts by weight of peroxide per 100 parts by weight of a rubber ingredient containing not less than 50 wt. % of polyisobutylene. 5 to 50 parts by weight of a liquid ethylene/α-olefin copolymer, liquid polybutadiene or liquid polyisoprene are added as an adhesive of the sealant layer.

A run-flat support body and a method assembling the same that improves reliability during running by eliminating mechanical joint components and realizes weight reduction and uniform mass-production are provided. The run-flat support body of the present invention comprises a pair of elastic rings fitted to a rim of a wheel and an annular shell bridging between these elastic rings. In the run-flat support body, the elastic rings and the annular shells are integrally joined, at least one discontinuous spot is provided in a circumference of the annular shell and the elastic rings, a connection structure is formed in which butted ends of the annular shell are joined together by welding, and joining between the annular shell and the elastic ring is partially released in the vicinity of a butted position of the annular shell. When the run-flat support body is inserted into a cavity portion of a pneumatic tire and the butted ends of the annular shell are joined together by welding, the welding work on a portion covered by the elastic ring is performed in a state where the elastic ring is retreated from the butted position of the annular shell.

Provided is a run-flat support for pneumatic tire, which support is improved in durability while still achieving a lightweight. A run-flat support 1 is constituted of an annular shell 2, and elastic rings 3. In a lateral cross section of the annular shell 2, the annular shell 2 has: an outer circumferential side formed in a plurality of convex support potions 2a each bulging outward, and a concave linking portion 2b linking the convex supporting portions 2a; and a pair of right and left leg portions 2c extending radially inward respectively from the supporting portions 2a on the corresponding sides in a bifurcating manner. The elastic rings are mounted respectively on ends of both leg portions of the annular shell 2. The body of the annular shell 2 is formed of metal or ceramics, and a fiber reinforced resin layer 4 is attached at least to an inner circumferential surface of the linking portion 2b, the fiber reinforced resin layer 4 including reinforcing long fibers which arranged to intersect with the circumferential direction.

A process in which a self-sealing pneumatic tire consisting of a pneumatic tire after vulcanization molding furnished with a sealant layer being uniform without thickness irregularity and a cover sheet layer therefore is produced without the use of an organic solvent and expensive apparatus; and an apparatus therefore. The process is characterized by sequentially performing the operations of injecting a viscous sealant material onto the internal surface of a pneumatic tire (T) after vulcanization molding; diffusing the sealant material into a sheet form by centrifugal force while rotating the pneumatic tire (T) around the tire axis to thereby form a sealant layer (11); injecting a cover material of uncured rubber material or resin material onto the inside surface of the sealant layer (11); diffusing the cover material into a sheet form by centrifugal force while rotating the pneumatic tire (T) around the tire axis to thereby form a cover sheet layer (12); and irradiating the cover sheet layer (12) with electron beams, infrared rays, ultraviolet rays or ultrasonic waves to thereby harden the same.
