Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a pneumatic tire provided with four main grooves extending in the tire circumferential direction on the tread portion, and more specifically, to a pneumatic tire capable of reducing passing noise while maintaining good rolling resistance and wet performance . Background technique
[0002] When a vehicle passes by, the pneumatic tires installed on the vehicle will generate noise, which is generally called passing sound. The passing sound is amplified by the suction effect when the air in the grooves of the tread portion is compressed and released. Therefore, reducing the groove area of ββthe tread portion is effective for reducing the passing sound. For example, in a pneumatic tire in which four main grooves extending in the tire circumferential direction are provided on the tread portion (for example, refer to Patent Document 1), the passage sound can be reduced by reducing the groove area of ββthe tread portion.
