Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a pneumatic tire, and more specifically, to a pneumatic tire having a high degree of weight reduction and driving stability of the tire. Background technique
[0002] In recent years, for the purpose of low fuel consumption of vehicles, it is required to reduce the weight of pneumatic tires. As a method for this weight reduction, countermeasures such as reducing the thickness of the rubber layer constituting the tire or reducing the number of carcass layers have been taken. However, when this countermeasure is adopted, the rigidity in the circumferential direction of the tire is greatly reduced, so there is a problem that the driving stability is reduced.
[0003] Therefore, Patent Document 1 proposes that both ends of the carcass ply are folded back to a position beyond the maximum tire width, the height of the bead filler from the tire heel is 15 to 30% of the cross-sectional height of the tire, and the sidewall The...
