Abstract:
The tire comprise a rubber assembly 15 including a first rubber member 11, a second rubber member 12, and a third rubber member 13 which are arranged in series in the cross-section including the tire rotational axis. The method comprises the steps of: extruding the unvulcanized rubber assembly 15 as two separate parts which are a first extrusion rubber portion 16 and s second extrusion rubber portion 17 divided at a division surface passing through the unvulcanized first rubber member 11; winding the first extrusion rubber portion 16 into a base annular body 20; and forming the unvulcanized rubber assembly 8 by winding the second extrusion rubber portion 17 so that only the first rubber member 11 included in the second extrusion rubber portion 17 overlaps with the first rubber member 11 included in the base annular body 20.
Abstract:
A tire containing a pair of beads, at least one carcass ply extending from one bead to the other bead forming a pair of sidewall areas of the tire and a tread area of the tire, and at least one layer of a knit fabric in the sidewall area of the tire, where the knit fabric has a warp and weft direction and is a double cord stitch knit fabric. A method of making the fabric and tire are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A tire comprising at least one reinforcement structure of the carcass type anchored on either side of the tire in a bead, the base of which bead is intended to be mounted on a rim seat, the reinforcement structure extending circumferentially from the bead towards the sidewall, at least one arrangement of main cords along a substantially circumferential path being arranged substantially adjacent to the structure, the arrangement of the cords of the at least one arrangement being such that the number of main cords arranged on the axially inner side relative to the structure is greater than the number of main cords arranged on the axially outer side relative to the structure.
Abstract:
The present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a pneumatic tire with reduced dynamic unbalance and enhanced durability. The method for manufacturing a pneumatic tire having projections in a buttress portion comprises the steps of laminating a sidewall rubber 17 on the outer side of a carcass ply 12 and expanding the diameter of a shaping drum 1, followed by laminating a belt layer 19 and a tread rubber 18 on the outer side of the position corresponding to a crown portion of the carcass ply 12 to mold a green tire G, laminating a strip-shaped rubber member 21 to a buttress portion B of the green tire G to form annular projection parts 22, and vulcanization molding the green tire G with a mold.
Abstract:
One exemplary embodiment includes a method comprising providing a tire having a component constructed and arranged to cause at least one portion of the tire to have a first stiffness or resistance to force exerted thereon under a first condition and a second stiffness or resistance to force exerted thereon under a second condition and selectively causing the first or second condition to occur.
Abstract:
A tire comprising at least one reinforcement structure of the carcass type anchored on either side of the tire in a bead, the base of which bead is intended to be mounted on a rim seat, the reinforcement structure extending circumferentially from the bead towards the sidewall, at least one arrangement of main cords along a substantially circumferential path being arranged substantially adjacent to the structure, the arrangement of the cords of the at least one arrangement being such that the number of main cords arranged on the axially inner side relative to the structure is greater than the number of main cords arranged on the axially outer side relative to the structure.
Abstract:
An improved high flotation, low pressure radial tire, the carcass of which is formed of one or more plies of radial tire cord, one or more plies of circumferential tire cord, and one or more plies of sidewall reinforcing tire cord forming a reinforcing annulus the major diameter of which is substantially the same as the major diameter of the sidewalls and the minor diameter of which is greater than the minor diameter of the sidewalls so that the reinforcing annulus terminates well short of the tire bead.
Abstract:
A motor vehicle tire is disclosed with a pair of post-cure run-flat inserts, each of the pair of post-cure run-flat inserts is disposed within a tire cavity between a shoulder region and a respective upper sidewall region of the tire. The tire further includes a cylindrical sidewall defining an interior cylindrical cavity, each of the cylindrical sidewall and the interior cylindrical cavity extending 360 degrees about a rotational axis of the tire, the cylindrical sidewall having an exterior surface contacting a radially inner surface of an inner liner between the shoulder region and the respective upper sidewall region during a normal inflation condition of the tire.

Abstract:
A pneumatic tire in which a side reinforcement layer formed of a treated member is arranged, the treated member formed by coating with rubber organic fiber cords extending parallelly to ply cords of a carcass ply of the carcass main body, only on a sidewall portion of a half portion on one tire widthwise side; a tire radial inner end of the side reinforcement layer is located on a side inner in the tire radial direction than a tire radial outermost position of a rim flange, and a tire radial outer end of the side reinforcement layer overlaps the belt by 5 mm or more in a tire widthwise direction; and the tread portion has one or more circumferential main grooves, and a contact width of a tire widthwise outermost land portion is larger than a contact width of a tire widthwise outermost land portion.
