Optimized band thickness and width prevent plastic deformation under high-speed tension while maintaining ultrasonic weld integrity.
Segmenting the sound absorbing member creates an extended heat dissipation part that conducts tread heat to the cavity, preventing high-speed durability loss.
A pneumatic tire incorporates a recessed sidewall portion to isolate ply turn-up reactive forces.
Positioning shoulder grooves asymmetrically increases crown rigidity, resolving the trade-off between drainage performance and steering stability on dry roads.
Segmented sipes in tire tread blocks preserve block rigidity while enhancing traction on snowy and icy surfaces.
A tire tread design uses full sipes with bent portions and linear semi-sipes within middle blocks to enhance traction on icy surfaces.
Angled cuts on the inner sound absorbing member relieve stress and promote heat dissipation, preventing damage from high-speed cornering deformation.
A pneumatic tire center rib uses outside and inside rubber with distinct tension moduli to promote grounding surface strain.
Identification tags mark transponder locations on tire sidewalls to streamline read device alignment.
A tire noise reduction device uses a concave band member to bond porous noise absorbing materials.
