Embodiment

[0074] Prototyped according to the specifications in Table 1 with figure 1 The basic tread pattern and has image 3 (a) A pneumatic tire in which the first inner middle lateral sipe size is 185 / 60R15. As a comparative example, a trial production with figure 1 A pneumatic tire in which the basic pattern is formed and the entire area of ​​the sipe is formed at the same depth as the middle vertical sipe for all the inner middle horizontal sipe. The noise performance and wet performance of each test tire were tested. Common specifications and test methods for each test tire are as follows.

[0075] Rim: 15×5.0J

[0076] Tire internal pressure: 230kPa

[0077] Test vehicle: Displacement 1300cc, front-wheel drive

[0078] Test tire installation position: all wheels

Abstract

The invention provides a pneumatic tire capable of exhibiting excellent noise performance while maintaining handling stability. The pneumatic tire includes a tread portion (2) being provided with a tire shoulder main groove (5) and a central main groove (6), thereby dividing an intermediate land portion (7). The intermediate land portion (7) is provided with an intermediate longitudinal sipe (10) and a plurality of intermediate transverse sipes (11). The intermediate transverse sipings (11) comprise a plurality of inside intermediate transverse sipes (12), one end of which communicates with the central main channel (6) and the other end of which forms a terminal at a position closer to the intermediate longitudinal sipe (10) than the central main groove (6). The inside intermediate transverse sipes (12) comprise a first inside intermediate transverse sipes (15) having a depth at least in part deeper than the intermediate longitudinal sipe (10).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a pneumatic tire capable of exhibiting excellent noise performance while maintaining steering stability. Background technique [0002] For example, Patent Document 1 below proposes a pneumatic tire in which narrow grooves extending continuously in the tire circumferential direction are provided on land portions divided by main grooves in order to achieve both wet performance and noise performance. In this pneumatic tire, the groove width and groove depth of the narrow grooves are specified within a certain range. [0003] However, in Patent Document 1, there is room for further improvement in reduction of air column resonance sound generated in the main groove and steering stability. [0004] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 05-319027 Contents of the invention [0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and its main purpose is to provide a vehicle that can ...
