<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a tire that improves high-speed durability performance by improving a polyester cord used as a reinforcing material for a carcass ply. <P>SOLUTION: In the tire, a cord which is constituted by treating polyester filaments with an adhesive composition after twisting them together is used for the carcass ply. The polyester filaments are formed of polyester fibers which include polyester having ethylene terephthalate as main repeating units and assuming specific intrinsic viscosity in which the amount of terminated carboxy groups and the long period according to small-angle X-ray diffraction fall within specific ranges, and in which a surface treatment agent comprising an epoxy group adheres to a surface. The adhesive composition includes a specific thermoplastic high molecular weight polymer, a specific water-soluble polymer, a compound that is selected, for example, from reaction products obtained by making a thermally-dissociative blocking agent react with diphenylmethane diisocyanate and an isocyanate group, and an aliphatic epoxide compound. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
