Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a pneumatic tire capable of discharging the static charge of a vehicle to a road surface. Background technique
[0002] In recent years, silica has been incorporated into tread rubber of pneumatic tires. Silica has the advantage of reducing the tire's rolling resistance and improving wet grip. However, this leads to an increase in tire resistance because silica has poor electrical conductivity. If the tire has a large electrical resistance, static charges are accumulated in the vehicle, and disturbances such as radio noise are liable to be generated.
[0003] Conventionally, in order to prevent accumulation of static charges in a vehicle, Published Japanese Patent Application H9-71112 proposes a tread rubber a1 as shown in FIG. 13(A). The tread rubber a1 includes a base rubber portion b made of conductive carbon-rich rubber, and a cap rubber layer c made of non-conductive silica-rich rubber ...
