Abstract: A tire having a visible sidewall of a rubber composition containing a combination of: (A) a liquid ethylene/butylene copolymer having a terminal hydroxyl group on one end of the copolymer and either a partially hydrogenated polyisoprene block containing olefinic double bonds, or an epoxidized polyisoprene block containing olefinic double bonds, on the other end of the copolymer, (B) cis 1,4-polybutadiene rubber, (C) a brominated copolymer of isobutylene and para-methylstyrene, and (D) a minor amount of at least one conjugated diene-based rubber, preferably cis 1,4-polyisoprene. In such manner, it is considered herein that such liquid polymers are functional liquid polymers via the associated terminal hydroxyl group on one end of the copolymer and the modified polyisoprene blocks on the other end. In another aspect, the liquid copolymers are seen herein to act as processing aids for the rubber composition followed by becoming an integral part of the polymer network upon sulfur curing the resulting rubber composition. Therefore, a tire having a sulfur cured, visible sidewall rubber composition is also provided. In a further aspect, the rubber composition may be reinforced with a reinforcing filler as carbon black or as a combination of carbon black and silica together with a coupling agent.

Abstract: Pressure sensitive labels, which desirably are coated with fluorescent ink having a non-stick pull tab end portion are utilized to indicate a substantially maximum or minimum radial distance of a tire tread and to indicate, respectively, a substantial minimum or maximum radial distance of a matingly engagable tire rim. The tire is applied to the rim with the labels in substantial radial alignment so as to reduce the out of round portion of the tire tread.

Abstract: Runflat tire construction is optimized for tire ride comfort by reducing tire wall gauges in the tread-shoulder-to-upper-sidewall transition region and compensating with supporting sidewalls that constantly increase in thickness (gauge) from the transition region to a bead/flange area where a chafer extends above a wheel rim flange. Thus the bead and lower sidewall area are reinforced to a maximum and the shoulder area gets only the minimum stiffness necessary to achieve the required runflat performance. Within the context of wall gauges that constantly increase from the transition region to the bead/flange area, a mid-sidewall gauge ratio MSGR, being equal to a mid-sidewall gauge G2 divided by a shoulder gauge G1, is approximately within the range of 1.1 to 1.4, preferably approximately equal to 1.3; and a bead/flange gauge ratio BFGR, being equal to a bead/flange gauge G3 divided by a shoulder gauge G1, is approximately within the range of 1.5 to 1.8, preferably approximately equal to 1.7.

Abstract: A radial ply tire (10) has a floating reinforcement ply on the inside shoulder/sidewall region of the tire. The reinforcement ply comprises ply rubber having a gauge sufficient to delocalize flexing in the tire shoulder/sidewall region, and in one embodiment may be reinforced with 0.50 to 6.0 phr fibers. Depending on the type of tire in which the reinforcement ply is used, the reinforcement has a total gauge of 0.005 inch to 0.175 inch (0.127 to 4.445 mm). When fiber is used in the illustrated embodiment, the fiber is oriented circumferentially in the tire.

Abstract: A fluorescent label can be used to identify the location of variations, e.g. radial variations, in a pneumatic tire so the tire can be precisely mixed and matched with other components such as tire rims which may have compensating variations. The fluorescent label desirably includes a release backing, a pressure sensitive adhesive to bind said label to a tire, a nontransparent face sheet that reflects a substantial portion of incident light back towards its source, transparent top layer which contains one or more fluorescent dye(s) disproportionately present in the surface portion of the layer and preferably in the layer nearest the adhesive side. The location of the largest portion of the fluorescent dye is important as commercial labels with the dye on the exterior surface suffer from fluorescent reading losses apparently due to migration of mobile molecules from other tires stored in contact with the label's exterior surface.
