Abstract: A tire with improved performance in terms of grip on wet ground even when it is close to the legal wear limit. The tread comprises three layers of materials (M1, M2, M3), radially superposed: the layer (M1) is laid radially on the outside of the crown reinforcement. The layer (M2) is laid radially on the outside of the layer (M1), and the last layer (M3) intended to be in contact with the ground is laid radially on the outside of the layer (M2). The moduli of shear stiffness, G′M1), G′(M2), G′(M3), and the viscoelastic losses Tgδ(M1), Tgδ(M2), Tgδ (M3) of the materials of the layers satisfy the following relationships:
G′(M1)/G′(M2) is within the range [7; 25];
Tgδ (M2) and Tgδ (M3) are linked by the following relationship: (Tgδ (M2)−Tgδ (M3))/Tgδ (M2)≥30%
Thickness of layer (M3)/Thickness of layer (M2) is within the range [3; 10].-

Abstract: A rubber composition for a tire contains a diene rubber, silica, a silane coupling agent, a fatty acid metal salt, and an alkylsilane. 60-95 mass % of a specific conjugated diene rubber is used as the diene rubber and is formed by reacting a polyorganosiloxane with an active terminal of a conjugated diene-based polymer chain having the active terminal and by making a polymer block A continuous with a polymer block B. The polymer block A contains 80-95 mass % of isoprene and 5-20 mass % of aromatic vinyl, has an active terminal, and has a weight average molecular weight of 500-15000. The polymer block B contains 1,3-butadiene and an aromatic vinyl and has an active terminal. 55-90 parts by mass of silica having a CTAB adsorption specific surface area of 185 m2/g or more is used as the silica.

Abstract: A tread of a tire can include a cap layer and a base layer. A loss tangent of the cap layer at 30° C. may be not greater than 0.30, and a loss tangent of the base layer at 30° C. may be less than the loss tangent of the cap layer at 30° C. The base layer can be inward of a reference end of the tread in an axial direction A fixing layer can be between the cap layer and a carcass in a radial direction. A first end of the fixing layer can be outward of an end of the base layer in the axial direction, or a position of the first end of the fixing layer can coincide with a position of the end of the base layer in the axial direction. Adhesiveness of the fixing layer can be higher than adhesiveness of the cap layer.

Abstract: A tire includes a pair of beads and a crown region including a circumferential tread disposed radially above a circumferential belt. The tire further includes a pair sidewalls extending from the pair of beads to the crown region. A body ply wraps around the pair of beads and terminates in a pair of turn up ends in the crown region, below the middle 30% of the circumferential belt. A conductive substance is disposed along a strip of the body ply.
