ADVANCED PROFILE RADIAL TIRE

摘要

In an inflated tire and rim assembly wherein the improvement is in the profile of the tire having an aspect ratio (H/S) ranging from about 0.80 to about 0.90 and wherein the maximum section width (S) is located at a height (h) of less than 45 percent of the section height (H), with the tire being mounted on a rim having a design width (DRW) of about 75 percent of the tire section width (S), while the width (TW) of the tread portion is less than 75 percent of the section width (S). The inflation pressure of the assembly is a minimum of about 25 percent greater than the inflation pressure of a conventional profile tire of an equivalent size and load carrying capacity.
