Abstract: The present invention comprises tire treads having sipes or other voids formed of non-curable inserts, as well as methods for forming sipes or other voids within a tread using non-curable inserts and apparatus for performing the same. Such methods include providing an uncured tread having a width and a thickness bounded by an outer side and a bottom side. Such methods further include providing a strip of non-curable material, the strip having a width and a length. Furthermore, such methods include inserting the strip of non-curable into the tread thickness from the tread outer side and to a predetermined depth within the tread thickness to form a void-forming insert within the tread thickness. Finally, these methods include curing the tread with the non-curable strip arranged within the tread thickness. The inserts may be folded, which may occur as the strips are inserted into the tread or prior to such insertion.

Abstract: The invention relates to a tire having a rubber tread of a cap/base configuration composed of a composite of a silica-rich tread cap layer running surface, and an underlying transition zone composite of a carbon black-rich intermediate layer positioned between the tread cap layer and a tread base layer. The combination of intermediate layer and base layer provide a beneficial graduated stiffness between the tread cap layer and the tire carcass. Significantly, the transition zone composite enables a significantly thicker carbon-black rich portion of the tread composite and an associated thinner silica-rich tread cap running surface. In one aspect, the intermediate layer of the transition zone composite can extend to and include a bottom portion of at least two of the grooves of said tread cap layer to support an associated tread lug therebetween.

Abstract: The invention relates to a rubber tire composed of carbon black reinforced rubber carcass and having a rubber tread which is quantitatively reinforced with silica and contains a minor amount of carbon black reinforcement and/or carbon fibers. When said tread contains silica and carbon black reinforcement exclusive of carbon fibers, the said tread has a thin rubber layer over at least a portion of the outer surface tread intended to be ground-contacting wherein said rubber layer contains a combination of silica and/or carbon black reinforcement and carbon fibers. In one aspect, such alternative outer rubber layer (a) extends across at least a portion of the outer surface of the tread intended to be ground contacting and (b) contacts at least one other carbon black reinforced rubber component of the tire to provide a path of relatively low electrical resistance from said quantitatively silica reinforced tread to the bead portion of the tire carcass.

Abstract: The tire of this invention has a silica-rich tread compound for excellent rolling resistance and tread wear properties. The tire is made to be conductive such that electrostatic charges on the vehicle can be quickly dissipated when the vehicle stops. An electrostatic discharge ring is located on at least one shoulder portion of the tire and has a relatively low volume resistivity, on the order of 100 megohm centimeter. The discharge ring is positioned to make contact with a conductive sidewall portion of the tire. The overall resistivity of the tire from the rim to the ground surface is made to be less than about 100 megohms.

Abstract: A radial ply pneumatic tire (30) has as asymmetric tread portion (41) having circumferential grooves (50, 51, 52, 53) and diagonal grooves (55, 56) therein. The tread is divided into three axial regions (A, B, C) of equal width, and in each region the net-to-gross ratio is different. The rate of treadwear in the axially outermost regions (A, B) of the tread are substantially equalized by features including varying groove depths and widths, groove paths, and chamfering the edges of block elements (57, 58, 62, 63) of the tread.
