Abstract:
A pneumatic tire whose mounting location on a vehicle is specified and which comprises a belt disposed radially outside the carcass and composed of belt cords laid at an angle of from 15 to 40 degrees with respect to the tire circumferential direction, and a band disposed radially outside the belt and composed of first and second band cords laid at an angle of not more than 5 degrees with respect to the tire circumferential direction. The band comprises an inboard first part composed of the first band cord having a first modulus M1, and an outboard second part composed of the second band cord having a second modulus M2 more than the first modulus M1. The number of laminated plies of the band in the inboard first part is more than the number of laminated plies or a single ply of the band in the outboard second part.
Abstract:
Tire formed of two halves separated by a median plane, comprising a crown comprising a crown reinforcement comprising a first reinforcing ply (80) and a second reinforcing ply (90) having two axial ends, which is situated radially on the outside of the first reinforcing ply and surmounted by a hooping reinforcement (100) made up of circumferentially orientated reinforcing elements, in which tire the absolute value of the difference D between the distance D1 of the first axial end (92) from the median plane and the distance D2 of the second axial end (93) from the median plane is greater than or equal to 4 mm and less than or equal to 10 mm (4 mm≦|D|=|D1−D2|≦10 mm).
Abstract:
In a pneumatic tire for heavy load including a circumferentially-formed groove running in a tire circumferential direction on a surface of a tread part, when a pneumatic pressure equivalent to a normal inner pressure is applied with reference to a case where a pneumatic pressure equivalent to an inner pressure of kPa is applied, a radius growth in a tire radial direction at a crown center of the tread part and in the circumferentially-formed groove located at the most lateral side in a tire width direction is made to be less than 0.3%.
Abstract:
The tire comprises a carcass ply connecting two beads via two sidewalls, the carcass ply being surmounted radially towards the outside of the tire by a crown reinforcing zone which is itself surmounted radially towards the outside of the tire by a tread, the crown reinforcing zone comprising a plurality of reinforcing strips arranged over at least one ply of strips. The strips are arranged so that they are juxtaposed and at an angle less than or equal to 15° with respect to the circumferential direction. Each reinforcing strip is made up of a laminate of at least 3 composite layers, each composite layer containing oriented fibers having a tensile modulus less than or equal to 30 GPa, which are parallel to one another and coated in a polymer matrix.
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to adequately control relationship between a cross sectional width SW and an outer diameter OD of a pneumatic radial tire for a passenger vehicle. The tire is further characterized in that, provided that each half portion in the tire width direction of a ground contact surface of the tire is divided in the tire width direction into three equal portions including a tire-width-direction center portion, a tire-width-direction intermediate portion and a tire-width-direction outer portion from the tire-width-direction center side, rigidity in the tire circumferential direction of the belt reinforcing layer in a region in the tire width direction thereof corresponding to the tire-width-direction outer side portion is lower than rigidity in the tire circumferential direction of the belt reinforcing layer in a region in the tire width direction thereof corresponding to the tire-width-direction center portion.

Abstract:
A passenger vehicle tire having hooping layer (71) that has a force at break FR per mm of axial width of the hooping layer at least equal to 35 daN/mm and has a secant extension modulus MA at least equal to 250 daN/mm, for an applied force F equal to 15% of FR. Working reinforcement (6) comprises a single working layer (61) the working reinforcers of which form, with the circumferential direction (YY′), an angle AT at least equal to 30° and at most equal to 50°. The carcass reinforcers of the at least one carcass layer (81) form, with the circumferential direction (YY′) and in the equatorial plane (XZ), an angle AC2 at least equal to 55° and at most equal to 80° and having an orientation opposite of that of angle AT of the working reinforcers so that the carcass reinforcers and the working reinforcers constitute a triangulation.
Abstract:
A pneumatic tire includes a tread portion, carcass, inclined belt, and circumferential belt. The inclined belt is formed by inclined belt layer(s) including cords inclined relative to the tire circumferential direction. A circumferential main groove is provided in the tread portion. The inclined belt includes a high-angle inclined belt layer in which the cords are at an inclination angle of 35° to 90° relative to the tire circumferential direction. In at least one tread half portion, an edge of the high-angle inclined belt layer in the tire width direction is positioned further outward in the tire width direction than the circumferential main groove disposed furthest outward in the tire width direction. The interval in the tire width direction from the edge to the center of the circumferential main groove is 0.2W1 to 0.35W1, where W1 is the width of the high-angle inclined belt layer in the tire width direction.
Abstract:
Pneumatic vehicle tire includes at least two bracing plies arranged to intersect each other at an angle and including reinforcements of steel arranged substantially parallel to and at a distance from one another and embedded in a rubber material. Bracing ply reinforcements are oriented at an angle of 18° to 45° with the circumferential direction of the tire. A bracing bandage is also included having at least one ply with reinforcements of a non-metallic material arranged substantially parallel to and at a distance from one another and generally extending a circumferential direction of the tire. Bracing bandage reinforcements include a material with heat shrinkage properties. Under a predetermined extension of 1% in the longitudinal direction of the reinforcements, each bracing ply, has a tension of 2,000 N per dm of width.
