Abstract:
A pneumatic tire comprises a carcass ply of cords extending between bead portions through a tread portion and sidewall portions, the carcass cords include main cords for reinforcing purpose and auxiliary cords for controlling the outflow of topping rubber during vulcanization, the main cords and auxiliary cords are arranged alternately in the tire circumferential direction, and the number of auxiliary cord(s) between the main cords is in a range of from one to three.
Abstract:
A cord for reinforcing rubber articles according to the present invention is formed by a thread with ply-twisted cellulose fiber twisted with a thread of ply-twisted nylon fiber. The ply twist number of the nylon fiber is less than the ply twist number of the cellulose fiber. A pneumatic tire according to the present invention uses the cord for reinforcing rubber articles according to the present invention in a ply cord of the carcass.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a tire having a radial carcass reinforcement, consisting of at least one layer of metal reinforcing elements, said tire including a top reinforcement, which is covered radially with a tread, said tread being joined to two beads via two sidewalls. According to the invention, the reinforcing elements of at least one carcass reinforcement layer are metal cables which, in the so-called permeability test, have a flow rate less than 20 cm3/mn and at least 10% of said metal cables are banded by a strand consisting of multifilament textile fibers.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composite based at least on a component having a metal surface and on a polymer matrix comprising a functional diene polymer that bears at least one aromatic group. The aromatic group is substituted by at least two hydroxyl functions, where two of the hydroxyl functions are vicinal. Such a composite has a good resistance to delamination.
Abstract:
A tire having a radial carcass reinforcement, having at least one layer of reinforcing elements, said tire comprising a crown reinforcement, which is itself covered radially with a tread, said tread being joined to two beads via two sidewalls, wherein at least 90% of the reinforcing elements of at least one layer of the carcass reinforcement are non-wrapped metal cords having in what is called the permeability test a flow rate of less than 20 cm3/min, wherein at least 1% of the reinforcing elements of said at least one layer of the carcass reinforcement are capillary tubes and wherein, in a plane of section perpendicular to the axis of the capillary tube, the ratio of the open area to the area of material is greater than 0.4%.
Abstract:
A pneumatic radial tire comprises a carcass comprising an outer carcass ply made of cords having a first heat-shrinkage-percentage K1 and an inner carcass ply is made of cords having a second heat-shrinkage-percentage K2 different from the first heat-shrinkage-percentage K1, and the cord tension of the inner carcass ply is smaller than the cord tension of the outer carcass ply. A method of making the tire comprises steps of making the outer carcass ply of cords having a first heat-shrinkage-percentage K1, making the inner carcass ply of cords having a second heat-shrinkage-percentage K2, wherein the first heat-shrinkage-percentage K1 at 150 degrees C. is 120 to 160% of the second heat-shrinkage-percentage K2 at 150 degrees C., and heating and vulcanizing a raw tire to heat-shrink the outer carcass ply cords in a larger degree than the inner carcass ply.
Abstract:
Pneumatic radial tires for load vehicles include carcass plies reinforced with composite twisted filaments having a core-sheath structure, the core being made of polyester and the sheath being made of polyamide. The sheath accounts for 40-60 wt % of the entire core-sheath structure, and the coefficient of twist K of the cords satisfies the condition 1.22 45.0.
Abstract:
One aspect of the tire of the present invention is a tire including a tread portion (11), a sidewall portion (12), a bead portion (13), a bead core (60) provided in the bead portion (13), and a carcass ply (51) covering at least a portion around the bead core (60), in which the carcass ply (51) includes a sewn portion (80) in which a conductive thread (81, 82) is sewn.
