Pneumatic tire |
摘要 |
A pneumatic tire comprises a sidewall portion is provided in the outer surface with a circumferentially continuous or discontinuous serrated zone in which radially extending serration ridges are arranged circumferentially of the tire. The serration ridges are grouped into circumferentially successively arranged groups each consisting of serration ridges whose angles θ with respect to the respective tire radial directions are different from each other, and gradually increased toward one circumferential direction. Each group has an equally-spaced position at which the serration ridges are equally spaced in the tire circumferential direction. |

1. A pneumatic tire which comprises a tread portion, a pair of axially spaced bead portions, and a pair of sidewall portions extending between the tread edges and the bead portions,
wherein the outer surface of the sidewall portion is provided with a circumferentially continuous or discontinuous serrated zone in which radially extending serration ridges are arranged circumferentially of the tire, the serration ridges of the serrated zone or the serrated ridges of each serrated zone are grouped into circumferentially successively arranged groups each consisting of 3 to 10 serration ridges whose angles θ with respect to the respective tire radial directions are different from each other and gradually increased toward one circumferential direction, wherein, given that a first group is one of said groups and a second group is one of said groups that is adjacent to said first group in the circumferential direction toward which the angles θ of the serration ridges of the first group are gradually increased, the angle θ of the serration ridge which is in the second group and closest to the first group is smaller than the angle θ of the serration ridge which is in the first group and closest to the second group, and each of the groups has an equally-spaced position which is a radial position between the radially outer end and radially inner end of the group and at which the serration ridges are equally spaced in the tire circumferential direction. |
