The steel cords 38 include a first cord 38a and a second cord 38b having an outer diameter D2 smaller than the outer diameter D1 of the first cord 38a. The second cord 38b is adjacent to the first cord 38a. The topping rubber 40 comprise a crosslinked rubber composition including base material rubber and short fibers. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
