Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, in the above-mentioned method, since the ditch volume is reduced, drainage performance and snow column shearing force are reduced, and there is a problem of deterioration of drainage performance and snow road performance.
In this way, the improvement of noise performance and icy road performance has an antinomy relationship with drainage performance and snow road performance, so it is difficult to balance the two

Abstract

A pneumatic tire has an asymmetrical tread pattern. An outboard central main circumferential groove extends zigzag and is made up of alternate minor and major groove segments. The major groove segments incline at an angle of from 5 to 30 degrees with respect to the tire circumferential direction. An inboard central main circumferential groove is widest in main circumferential grooves. outboard middle axial grooves are widest in axial grooves. The distance Li of the widthwise center line of the straight inboard central main circumferential groove from the tire equator is less than the distance Lo of the amplitude center line of the zigzag outboard central main circumferential groove from the tire equator.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a pneumatic tire that suppresses reductions in drainage performance and noise performance and improves performance on icy and snowy roads. Background technique [0002] Studless tires suitable for driving on icy and snowy roads adopt a block pattern, that is, a plurality of patterns divided by multiple main grooves extending in the tire circumferential direction and multiple transverse grooves extending in the tire axial direction are arranged on the tread portion block, and a plurality of sipes are provided on the block. Such a studless tire exerts high performance on ice and snow roads by utilizing the edge effect of the sipe and the snow column shear force acting on each groove. On the other hand, due to the influence of global warming, such studless tires may also run on dry or wet roads, so in recent years, as with summer tires, improvements in noise performance and drainage performance have been demanded. In ord...
