Pneumatic tire

摘要

An angle of elevation (α) of an intersection point (A), formed between a line (q) connecting intersection points (A, B) and a reference line (n) traversing a center of curvature (C) of an arc and parallel to the tire rotation axis, is from 40° to 60°, where a curve tracing the innermost region in the tire radial direction is approximated by the arc with the method of least squares, the intersection point (A) is an intersection point of the ply main body (6a) with a normal line (m) from the center of curvature (C) of the arc to a part of the ply main body (6a) convex outward in the tire width direction, and the intersection point (B) is an intersection point of the ply main body (6a) with the reference line (n). A radius of curvature of the arc is from 5 mm to 80 mm.

1. A pneumatic tire comprising:
a tread portion joined to a pair of sidewall portions and a pair of bead portions; a carcass including at least one ply formed by a ply main body and a wound portion, the ply main body extending toroidally between a pair of bead cores respectively embedded in the bead portions, and the wound portion extending from the ply main body and being wound around the bead cores from inside to outside in a tire width direction; and a recessed portion, recessed inward in the tire width direction, and extending annularly around a whole circumference of the tire on a tire outer surface from a rim separation point to a tire maximum width position, wherein in a cross-section in the tire width direction in a rim unassembled state in which the tire is not assembled onto a rim, when an innermost region in a tire radial direction is defined as a range from an innermost point in the tire radial direction on the tire outer surface defining the recessed portion to a point 8 mm away in peripheral length outward in the tire radial direction along a periphery of the tire outer surface, an angle of elevation of an intersection point A, formed between a line connecting the intersection point A and an intersection point B and a reference line traversing a center of curvature C of an arc and parallel to a tire rotation axis, is from 40° to 60°, where a curve tracing the innermost region in the tire radial direction is approximated by the arc with the method of least squares, the intersection point A is an intersection point of the ply main body with a normal line from the center of curvature C of the arc to a part of the ply main body convex outward in the tire width direction, and the intersection point B is an intersection point of the ply main body with the reference line, and a radius of curvature of the arc is from 5 mm to 80 mm.
