    Abstract: The tread of a rib type tire is modified to provide draft angles in lateral grooves of selected ribs to compensate the tire's residual aligning torque (RAT). This allows the vehicle to have straight ahead motion with no steering pull. The draft angles are achieved by inclining the radial centerline of the lateral grooves to be sloped forward on one side of the midcircumferential plane and sloped backward on the other side of the midcircumferential plane. The centerline draft angle results in tread blocks sloped forward and backward during forward motion of the vehicle. The sloping tread blocks produces an effective rolling radius change on selected ribs of the tread pattern. Effective rolling radius of selected ribs is a concept introduced to explain the physical relationships that exist in the contact patch of the tire with the ground surface. The resulting contact change introduces longitudinal tangential stress changes that induce a torque to compensate for the inherent residual aligning torque due to the unmodified tire's construction and tread pattern.

    Abstract: A pneumatic tire includes a tread portion provided with shoulder blocks in a row along each tread edge. The shoulder blocks are provided in a row divided by a circumferential groove and first shoulder grooves and second shoulder grooves. The first and second shoulder grooves alternate in the tire circumferential direction and each extend from the circumferential groove to the tread edge. A circumferential width (WLo) of the first shoulder groove at the tread edge is larger than a circumferential width (WSo) of the second shoulder groove at the tread edge. The ratio (WLo/WSo) of the circumferential width (WLo) to the circumferential width (WSo) is larger than a ratio (WLi/WSi) of a circumferential width (WLi) of the first shoulder groove to a circumferential width (SWi) of the second shoulder groove, each measured at the circumferential groove.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a tire designed to be fitted on the driving axles of a motor vehicle for medium or heavy load. This tire is provided with a tread comprising a plurality of full-depth transverse grooves and four circumferential series of inclined grooves and four circumferential series of inclined incisions which delimit five circumferential rows of blocks, namely two axially outer rows, two intermediate rows, and one central row lying essentially across the equatorial plane.Each transverse groove extends across the whole width of the tread, and consists of a central portion, located between a pair of consecutive blocks of the central row, and a pair of lateral portions, located between pairs of consecutive blocks of the intermediate and shoulder rows.The two lateral portions of each transverse groove are staggered circumferentially with respect to each other and penetrate into the body of the central row of blocks. The central portion of the transverse groove has a depth of 3 mm, while the depth of the incisions located between the shoulder blocks and the intermediate blocks is less than the depth of the inclined incisions located between the intermediate blocks and the central blocks.
