摘要: A pneumatic tire includes, on a tread surface, circumferential main grooves extending in a tread circumferential direction, and land portions defined between circumferential main grooves adjacent in a tread width direction among the circumferential main grooves, or by a circumferential main groove and a tread edge. The land portions include widthwise grooves (and/or widthwise sipes), extending in the tread width direction, each including a gradually decreasing groove (sipe) width portion in which a groove (sipe) width gradually decreases from the tread surface towards an inner side in the tire radial direction, a constant groove (sipe) width portion that extends from the gradually decreasing groove (sipe) width portion towards the inner side in the tire radial direction and has a constant groove (sipe) width, and a branched groove (sipe) portion branching and extending from the constant groove (sipe) width portion towards the inner side in the tire radial direction.

摘要: A pneumatic tire has inner mediate land portions and center land portion(s) that are divided into a plurality of blocks by lateral grooves. Each of the lateral grooves includes a pair of wide portions opening to a main groove and a narrow portion coupling the pair of the wide portions. one-side-closed sipes are formed in a bottom of each of the lateral grooves formed in the inner mediate land portions. The one-side-closed sipes are open at the wide portions and close at the narrow portion. a both-sides-open sipe is formed in a bottom of each of the lateral grooves formed in the center land portion or portions. The both-sides-open sipe is open at the wide portions and at the narrow portion.

摘要: A pneumatic tire comprises a tread portion provided on each side of the tire equator with a middle land portion defined between a shoulder main groove and a crown main groove each extending continuously in the tire circumferential direction. The middle land portion is provided with axially inside middle lug grooves and axially outside middle lug grooves arranged alternately in the tire circumferential direction. The axially inside middle lug groove is connected to the crown main groove at an angle θ1 of from 20 to 45 degrees with respect to the tire circumferential direction and has an axially inner opened end and an axially outer closed end. The outside middle lug grooves is connected to the shoulder main groove at an angle θ2 of from 60 to 80 degrees with respect to the tire circumferential direction and has an axially outer open end and an axially inner closed end.

摘要: Embodiments of the invention include methods for reducing deformation of a sipe-molding member (10) arising during manufacturing operations, and sipe-molding members (10) comprising a sipe-forming portion (12) and a plurality of stiffening members (20) spaced along the sipe-forming portion. The sipe-forming portion (12) has a length extending in a lengthwise direction of the sipe-molding member (10), a height configured to extend into a depth of a molding cavity, and a thickness extending perpendicular to both the length and height. The sipe-molding member (10) is configured to form a sipe having a thickness commensurate with the thickness of the sipe-forming portion, a length formed by at least a portion of the length of the sipe-forming portion, and a depth formed by at least a portion of the height of the sipe-forming portion. Each of the plurality of stiffening members (20) extend outwardly from the thickness of the sipe-forming element. Further embodiments include methods of forming a molded tire tread.

摘要: Groove widths of center main grooves are larger than groove widths of inner and outer main grooves. Plurality of lateral grooves are formed at intervals in a tire circumferential direction so as to define inner shoulder blocks belonging to an inner shoulder row. A first raised portion connecting a pair of inner shoulder blocks to each other is formed in the lateral grooves every one other on an inner main groove side. A depth of the lateral groove in the first raised portion is smaller than the depth of the lateral groove in other portions. A second raised portion is formed on the outer main groove in a region defined by an imaginary line connecting an outer intermediate block and an outer shoulder block. A depth of the outer main groove in the second raised portion is smaller than that of the outer main groove in other portions.
