Problems solved by technology

However, if the tread reinforcement layer is added, there is a problem that the rigidity of the entire tread portion tends to become too high, and the impact or vibration from the road surface cannot be sufficiently absorbed, resulting in poor ride comfort.

Embodiment

[0090] Manufactured as figure 1 Tires of the basic construction shown and with tread inward ribs and / or main groove inward ribs as shown in Table 1 were evaluated for their performance. In addition, for comparison, the same test was also performed on a tire (Comparative Example 1) that did not have tread inward ribs and main groove inward ribs. Among them, the common specifications are as follows.

Abstract

The invention provides a pneumatic tire and a method of manufacturing the same, maintaining ride comfort and improving responsibility close to a neutral gear. The pneumatic tire (1) has at least one main groove continuously extending along the tire periphery and treads (12) contacted with a road surface at the outer surface (2S) of a tire surface part (2). The pneumatic tire (1) is provided with tread inward ribs (16) which are protruding toward the inner side in the tire radial direction and extend along the tire periphery at an inner cavity surface (10) of the treads (2) and in tread inner regions (15) of the inner side in the tire radial direction of the treads (12).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a pneumatic tire capable of improving responsiveness near neutral while maintaining riding comfort, and a method for manufacturing the same. Background technique [0002] Pneumatic tires are known that include, for example, at least one main groove continuously extending in the tire circumferential direction and a tread that contacts a road surface on the outer surface of a tread portion (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). [0003] Since the above-mentioned tread directly contacts the road surface, it is desirable to sufficiently increase the rigidity in the tire circumferential direction of the land portion on which the tread is formed. In particular, in order to improve the response performance near neutral where the slip angle is small at the start of turning, it is preferable to increase the bending rigidity in the tire circumferential direction of such a land portion. [0004] Patent Document 1: Japanese Pa...
