Abstract

A motorcycle tire for running on rough terrain comprises a tread portion (2) having a developed tread width (TWe) and provided with a plurality of tread blocks (B). The tread blocks include a plurality of crown blocks (13) defined as having a ground contacting top surface whose centroid (Gb) is located within a crown region (Cr) defined as having a developed width of 1 / 3 of the developed tread width (TWe) and centered on the tire equator. The crown blocks include a plurality of central crown blocks (13a) whose axial distance (L1) from the tire equatorial plane to the centroid is not more than 2 % of the developed tread width, and a plurality of off-center crown blocks (13b) whose axial distance (L2) from the tire equatorial plane to the centroid is more than 2 % and not more than 6 % of the developed tread width.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a tire for motorcycles for driving on rough terrain capable of maintaining traction performance during straight travel and improving cornering performance. Background technique [0002] Motorcycle tires for running on uneven ground used in off-road motorcycle races, etc., are provided with a plurality of blocks on the tread portion. The blocks include, for example, crown blocks arranged on the equator of the tire, along the tread end The shoulder block is arranged, and the middle block is arranged between the crown block and the shoulder block. Such tires can sink each tread block into soft roads such as sandy ground and muddy ground, thereby improving traction performance and cornering performance. [0003] In order to further improve cornering performance, Patent Document 1 below proposes a tire in which an axially outer side surface of a middle block is provided with an inclined surface. In such a tire, the axially...
