Abstract:
A tire (10) is provided with a cast body (12). The cast body has an annular circumferentially extending isotropic portion (14) having a pair of anisotropic side portions (16,18) extending therefrom. The side portions are rendered anisotropic by geometric means. A reinforcing means (30) is attached to the inner or interior surface of the side portions and extends from the isotropic portion to a point radially inwardly of the maximum section width (SW) of the tire. The reinforcing means may include a number of alternating ridges and grooves (46,48). The body may be cast from an elastomeric material such as polyurethane. A tread (26) and belt package (28) is disposed over the body and may be either elastomeric or rubber.
Abstract:
A pneumatic vehicle tire, in which the side walls consist of rubber material only without having strength members members embedded therein, but are reinforced by ribs on the inside of the side walls and integral therewith.
Abstract:
A tire is provided with a tire frame member that is made from resin and includes: a bead portion; a side portion that is connected to an outer side of the bead portion in a tire radial direction and that has hole portions formed at intervals in a tire circumferential direction; and a crown portion that is connected to an inner side of the side portion in a tire width direction and that has a tread disposed thereon.
Abstract:
A pneumatic tire 1 according to the present invention has turbulence generating protrusions on a tire surface, each of the turbulence generating protrusions having a sharp edge part. In the pneumatic tire, the following relationships are satisfied: 0.015≦H/√R≦0.64; 1.0≦p/H≦50.0; 0.1≦H/e≦3.0; 1.0≦L/H≦50.0; and 1.0≦(p−w)/w≦100.0, where “R” is a tire radius, “H” is a protrusion maximum height, “p” is a protrusion circumferential-direction interval, “e” is a protrusion radial-direction interval, “L” is a protrusion radial-direction length, and “w” is a protrusion circumferential-direction length.

Abstract:
A pneumatic tire has a plurality of long radially extending ridges disposed at intervals in the tire circumferential direction on at least one side section of the tire, the ridges being non-uniformly disposed around the tire circumferential direction. The ridges are disposed, for example, so that the angles θ between the ridges vary in the tire circumferential direction.
Abstract:
A tire having a radial carcass reinforcement, comprising at least one layer of metal reinforcing elements, said tire comprising a crown reinforcement, which is itself covered radially with a tread, said tread being joined to two beads via two sidewalls. The metal reinforcing elements of at least one layer of the carcass reinforcement are non-hooped cords having, in the permeability test, a flow rate of less than 20 cm3/min and, in a radial plane, at least over part of the meridian profile of the tire, the thickness of the rubber compound between the inner surface of the cavity of the tire and that point of a metal reinforcing element of the carcass reinforcement which is closest to said inner surface of the cavity is less than or equal to 3.5 mm and the ratio between the thicknesses of rubber compound between the inner surface of the cavity of the tire and that point of a metal reinforcing element of the carcass reinforcement which is closest to said inner surface of the cavity of two distinct parts of the tire is greater than 1.15.
Abstract:
A pneumatic tire comprises a sidewall reinforcing rubber disposed axially inside the carcass in each of the sidewall portion, and in order improving the ride comfort during normal running without deteriorating runflat performance, the axially inner surface of the sidewall reinforcing rubber is provided with a circumferentially extending groove. When the tire is deflated, the groove in the ground contacting patch is closed and the sidewall reinforcing rubber supports the tire load. When the tire is inflated-normally, as the sidewall portion can be bent around the groove, the ride comfort is improved.

Abstract:
A runflat radial ply tire (70) having a thread (72), a carcass (86) and a belt structure (74) radially located between the thread and the carcass has two sidewalls (80, 82) each reinforced with a circumferentially disposed wedge insert (50a′, 50b′) having a saw-tooth cross-sectional shape. The saw-tooth cross-sectional shape of each wedge insert (50a′, 50b′) is defined by a plurality of circumferentially disposed segments (52a–52e), each of which is separated from adjacent segments by circumferentially disposed grooves (54a–54d). During heavy loading of the tire, or during runflat operation, the radially loaded sidewall portions deform until the grooves (54a′–54d′) undergo closure.
