    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for sensing irregular wear of a tire tread. A tire is providing having an innerliner adjacent to a belt package, an undertread adjacent to the belt package opposite the innerliner, and a tread adjacent to the undertread opposite the belt package. The tread includes a plurality of tread elements and a conductive filament disposed laterally within the tread. The conductive filament includes a pair of ends extending radially through the undertread and the belt package to the innerliner and terminates into a corresponding pair of sensor contacts. A sensor adjacent to a radially inward side of the innerliner is also included in the tire, the sensor having a pair of electrical contacts in electrical contact with the sensor contacts.

    Abstract: A tire sensor container system is provided. A tire includes a carcass toroidally extending from a first bead area to a second bead area, and an innerliner formed on an inner surface of the carcass. The tire sensor container system includes a tire pressure monitoring system sensor, which in turn includes a rigid housing that is formed with an oval shape. A flexible container is mounted to the innerliner. The container includes a base and a wall extending radially outwardly from the base, and the wall terminates in a lip. The container wall is formed with an oval shape that cooperates with the shape of the tire pressure monitoring sensor housing. A cavity is defined by the base, the wall, and the lip, and cavity receives and secures the tire pressure monitoring system sensor. The system reduces sensor rotation and maintains consistent sensor orientation to improve sensor functionality and longevity.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a tire having a rubber tread of a circumferentially zoned tread including stratified lateral tread zones and peripheral sidewall extensions. The tread zones are comprised of three circumferential load bearing zones, with each zone containing a portion of the running surface of the tread, comprised of an intermedial zone positioned between and two stratified lateral tread zones together and, in addition, peripheral sidewall extensions. The intermedial and stratified lateral zones are comprised of rubber compositions having differentiated 100° C. hot rebound physical properties. The intermedial rubber zone, or layer, overlays a tread base rubber layer and underlies the lateral tread layer zones. The lateral tread zones are stratified in a sense of being separated from each other and also separated from the from the tread base rubber layer by the intermedial rubber layer. The tread includes a peripheral carbon black rich rubber layer as a sidewall extension which extends radially outward from the outer tire sidewall to thereby join a portion of the peripheral tread zone rubber layer and extends to and includes a portion of the running surface of the tread.
