<p>A heavy duty radial tyre comprises a carcass ply (8) turned up around bead cores (5) form the axially inside to the outside of the tyre, a bead apex (8) disposed between the carcass main portion (6A) and each turnup portion (6B), each turnup portion (6B) extending radially outwardly beyond the radially outer end (8t) of bead apex (8) so that the turnup portion (6B) has a parallel part (G) which is placed adjacent to and substantially in parallel with the main portion (6A), and a chafer (9) disposed in each bead portion (4) and extending radially outwardly beyond the radially outer end (8t) of the bead apex (8) along the axially outer side of the turnup portion (6B). The thickness T2 of the chafer is 0.3 to 1.0 times the total rubber thickness T1 between the tyre outer surface and the carcass (6) when measured along a straight line drawn at a right angle to the carcass main portion (6A) through the radially outer end (8t) of the bead apex (8). The length L of the parallel part (G) is in the range of 0.5 to 5.0 times the section width CW of the bead core (5). In the parallel part (G), the rubber thickness N between the carcass cords of the turnup portion (6B) and those of the main portion (6A) is 0.15 to 4.5 times the maximum diameter K of the carcass cords. <IMAGE></p> |
