Heavy duty radial tire carcass profile

摘要

A heavy duty radial tire includes at least one radial carcass extending from one bead portion to the other bead portion and using inextensible cords and a belt arranged outwardly of the radial carcass for reinforcing a tread of the tire. The tire comprises, during expanding of the tire from 5% to 100% of a normal inner pressure, a first profile portion expanding radially outwardly in a tread zone, a second profile portion depressing axially inwardly of the tire in a radially outer zone of a sidewall from one end of said tread to a tire maximum width position when filled with the normal inner pressure, and a third profile portion expanding axially outwardly of the tire in a radially inner zone of the sidewall from the tire maximum width position when filled with the normal inner pressure to a parting point of the sidewall from the rim, thereby properly distributing strains occurring in the tire in filling with the normal inner pressure.
