Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a heavy duty pneumatic tire having improved both low noise performance and on-snow performance, and more particularly to a tread pattern for a heavy duty pneumatic tire for all seasons. Background technique
[0002] Regarding heavy-duty pneumatic tires used for heavy vehicles such as trucks and buses, there is a great demand for all-season tires having performance on snow that can be driven on snow-covered roads. To improve performance on snow, this heavy duty all-season tire features a block pattern. In addition, with the improvement of the performance of the vehicle, especially the increase of the horsepower, it is necessary to further improve the performance on snow.
[0003] It is known that the performance on snow tends to be improved by increasing the number of horizontal grooves and vertical grooves and the groove volume. On the other hand, all-season tires are required to have low-noise performance in order to...
