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:
In a pneumatic tire, a belt layer is formed by laminating a pair of cross belts having a belt angle, as an absolute value, of not less than 10° and not greater than 45° and having belt angles of mutually opposite signs, and a circumferential reinforcing layer having a belt angle within a range of ±5° with respect to the tire circumferential direction. Moreover, the distance (Gcc) from the tread profile to the tire inner circumferential surface along the tire equatorial plane and the distance (Gsh) from the tread edge to the tire inner circumferential surface have a relationship satisfying 1.10≦Gsh/Gcc.
Abstract:
A pneumatic tire comprises a carcass extending between bead portions through a tread portion and sidewall portions, and a band disposed radially outside the carcass in the tread portion. The band is composed of at least one steel cord spirally wound in the tire circumferential direction. The steel cord is made up of five steel filaments having a diameter of 0.2 mm and twisted together to have a 1×5 structure. The five steel filaments include at least one shaped filament shaped before twisted. The steel cord has a compressive stiffness of from 200 to 400 N/mm.
Abstract:
A flat or planar reinforcer shaped as a multicomposite strip (R1), which is defined by three main perpendicular directions: an axial direction (X), a transverse direction (Y), and a radial direction (Z), has a width LR in the Y direction of between 2 and 100 mm, and has a thickness ER in the Z direction of between 0.1 and 5 mm. A ratio LR/ER is greater than 3. The multicomposite strip includes a plurality of monofilaments made of a composite material. The monofilaments are oriented along the X direction and include filaments of a mineral material embedded in a thermoset resin having a glass transition temperature Tg1 that is greater than 70° C. The monofilaments are coated in a layer of thermoplastic material. The reinforcer may be used to reinforce a tire and a multilayer laminate, which may be used to reinforce a tire.
