Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of tire technology, and more specifically, to a snow radial tire with low noise and high wet slip performance. Background Art

[0002] my country has a vast territory, a large latitude and longitude, and a large climate difference between the north and the south. The temperature in the south is higher, the rainy season lasts longer, and even in winter, the temperature rarely drops below 0 degrees. However, in the northwest of my country, the temperature difference between the four seasons is large. The weather in winter is low, the snowfall is large, and there is often snow on the road. In order to ensure driving safety, it is necessary to use suitable tires to cope with such road conditions. Under low temperature conditions, the grip of summer tires decreases significantly due to their tread formula and pattern design. There are great safety hazards on icy and snowy roads in winter. In recent years, with the development of the economy and the improvement of safety awareness, more and more car owners have begun to consciously replace their tires with snow tires in winter to cope with the snow on the road in winter and improve winter driving safety.

[0003] However, in order to ensure safety performance on snowy and icy roads, snow tires use special patterns, more steel plates, and deeper grooves, which makes them noisier than ordinary summer tires and all-season tires. With the improvement of living standards, car owners have higher and higher requirements for comfort and noise during travel, and noise is one of the key indicators affecting vehicle comfort. The main noise of the vehicle comes from the engine and tires. After replacing winter tires in winter, the noise of the vehicle is louder than that of summer tires, causing complaints from car owners. In addition, many cities will use snow melting agents on the road after snowfall to reduce snow on the road, resulting in water accumulation on urban roads. Most snow tires pay more attention to safety performance on snowy and icy roads, but ignore the safety of water accumulation on the road after the snow melts. Summary of the invention
