Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a tire that can be driven to a certain extent on ice and snow roads in addition to dry roads, and in particular, a pneumatic tire that can suppress the occurrence of partial wear and improve performance on ice and snow roads. Background technique
[0002] Conventionally, it is known that block rigidity is increased by increasing the land ratio of the tread portion as much as possible in order to improve handling stability on dry roads. However, if the land ratio is increased too much, the on-snow performance tends to deteriorate due to a decrease in the snow column cutting effect on the snowy road due to a decrease in the groove volume.
[0003] In addition, it is known to form sipes on tire blocks or the like and to increase bead components for the purpose of improving steering stability on icy and snowy roads. However, they have problems in that an increase in the number of sipes leads to a decrease in block rigidity...
