Abstract: A tire is described which has a tread pattern provided with a large central channel (2) interposed between two continuous circumferential ribs (8), and a pair of large circumferential grooves (4) located at symmetrically opposite positions relative to the central channel (2). Also provided are transverse grooves (3) having a symmetrically converging inclined extension, the axial inclination of which increasingly grows larger towards the central channel (2). The longitudinal grooves (4) each consist of a sequence of oblique portions (4a) giving the grooves a broken-line course, so that each land portion or block (5, 6) delimited by the grooves (3, 4) has a corner (5a, 6a) projecting inwardly of the corresponding circumferential groove (4) with respect to the opposite corner (5b, 6b) of the circumferentially adjacent block.

Abstract: A tread design for a pneumatic tire of radial construction for high-speed vehicles is provided. The tire has a height-to-width ratio of .ltoreq.0.6 with a tread design that is tied to the direction of rotation. The tread design comprises profiled elements that are steeply oriented in the circumferential direction at an angle to the equatorial plane of the tire and are arranged in the shape of V's. The profiled elements extend from a central portion of the tread into shoulder regions of the tire, with the profiled elements being angled-off at a bend region in the shoulder regions in the direction of an axis of the tire. Respective continuous inclined grooves that proceed from the central portion to the shoulder regions are formed between the profiled elements. A circumferentially extending rib is disposed in the equatorial plane and forms two central, circumferentially extending grooves, one on each side of the rib, between this rib and starting portions of the profiled elements. The inclined grooves communicate with these circumferential grooves. In the central portion of the tread, the profiled elements extend at an angle of from 5.degree. to 30.degree. relative to the equatorial plane, while in the shoulder regions, proceeding from the bend regions, the profiled elements extend at an angle of from 65.degree. to 85.degree.. The shoulder regions have a forked configuration.

Abstract: A pneumatic tire having an excellent steering stability on wet road surface comprises a tread having an asymmetric directional tread pattern defined by steeply slant grooves and gently slant grooves arranged on at least both side regions, in which so-called directional tread pattern defining a rotating direction (normal rotating direction) of the tire in the mounting of the tire on a vehicle is formed by the steeply slant grooves to contact a side of the groove near to the central region with ground ahead and contact a side apart from the central region with ground afterward. The tread pattern also has gently slant grooves to contact a side of the groove opening to one of tread ends with ground ahead and contact a side of the groove opening to the other tread end with ground afterward.

Abstract: A directional pneumatic tire having improved wet traction has an annular aqua channel and lateral grooves which direct water from the footprint to the shoulder area of the tire to help prevent hydroplaning. The aqua channel has an extended U-shape wherein one wall of the aqua channel has a steeper incline than the other side of the aqua channel. In a preferred embodiment, the aqua channel may have a step between its shoulder side and its center side wherein the center side is higher by a distance d. In one illustrated embodiment, a center tread portion of the tire, bounded by an aqua channel and a center groove, and two lateral grooves, comprises a single block element.

Abstract: A pneumatic tire having improved wet traction has lugs containing sipes which change direction within the lug and tie bars in the sipes near each point where the sipes change direction. Siping, and the positioning of tie bars, provide means for minimizing the difference of the principle direction of lug stiffness between individual lugs. Also, a tire of the invention has 4 pitch ratios which are distributed around the tire so that extra large pitches are not located next to small pitches.
