Pneumatic tire

摘要

A pneumatic tire includes a tread having a center main groove and a pair of shoulder main grooves, a pair of center portions between the center main groove and the shoulder main grooves, and a pair of shoulder portions between the shoulder main groove and tread edges. Each center portion includes: center lateral grooves extending from the shoulder main groove toward the axially inside of the tire without reaching the center main groove so as to have an axially inner end thereof on the center portion with an angle of 35 to 65 degrees with respect to an axial direction of the tire; center lateral sipes extending from axially inner ends of the center lateral grooves to the center main groove in the same inclination direction as the center lateral groove at an angle of 35 to 65 degrees with respect to an axial direction of the tire.

主权项

1. A pneumatic tire comprising
a tread portion provided with a circumferentially extending center main groove and a pair of circumferentially extending shoulder main grooves disposed axially outside the center groove to form a pair of center portions each of which is between the center main groove and the shoulder main groove, and a pair of shoulder portions each of which is between the shoulder main groove and a tread edge, each said center portion is provided with: a plurality of center lateral grooves each extending from the shoulder main groove toward the axially inside of the tire without reaching the center main groove so as to have an axially inner end thereof on the center portion, each center lateral groove having an angle of from 35 to 65 degrees with respect to an axial direction of the tire; a plurality of center lateral sipes each extending from the axially inner end of the center lateral groove to the center main groove, each center lateral sipe having the same inclination direction with the center lateral groove having an angle of from 35 to 65 degrees with respect to an axial direction of the tire; and a center longitudinal sipe connecting between circumferentially adjacent center lateral grooves, the center longitudinal sipe separated from an axially inner edge of the center portion in a first axial distance in a range of from 20 to 40% of a width of the center portion, and each said shoulder portion being provided with: a plurality of shoulder lateral grooves each extending from at least the tread edge to the axially inside of the tire without reaching the shoulder main groove, each shoulder lateral groove having an angle of from less than 25 degrees with respect to the axial direction of the tire; and a shoulder longitudinal sipe connecting between circumferentially adjacent shoulder lateral grooves, the shoulder longitudinal sipe being separated in a second axial distance larger than the first axial distance from the axially inner edge of the shoulder portion.
