Middle longitudinal groove 2M is identical with the leaning angle of the 2m2 of portion that has a down dip with the upper inclined portion 2m1 of bending groove 2m with respect to the inclined angle alpha 2m in acute side that the tire contour forms, and considers that draining establishes lessly relatively.In the present embodiment, form about 1 to 15 degree, and be preferably 2 to 8 degree.Angle α 2c (aviation value of upper and lower rake) and α 2s that this angle forms with respect to the tire contour less than central longitudinal groove 2C and outer longitudinal groove 2S.Be provided with this, the water that gathers between the tread surface TS of tire middle body and tire shoulder portion and road surface can circumferentially be discharged easily along tire and be improved wet earth-catching property.
The left side of tire equator Q in Fig. 1, central lateral trench 3C connects the first summit c1 of central longitudinal groove 2C and the first summit m1 of middle longitudinal groove 2M.The second summit s2 of the second summit m2 of longitudinal groove 2M and outer longitudinal groove 2S in the middle of intermediate lateral groove 2M connects.Outer lateral trench 3S extends to tyre surface end E from the first summit s1 of outer longitudinal groove 2S.
On the right side, central lateral trench 3C connects the second summit c2 of central longitudinal groove 2C and the second summit m2 of middle longitudinal groove 2M.The first summit s1 of the first summit m1 of longitudinal groove 2M and outer longitudinal groove 2S in the middle of intermediate lateral groove 2M connects.Outer lateral trench 3S extends to tyre surface end E from the second summit s2 of outer longitudinal groove 2S.Therefore, can form combined block between middle longitudinal groove 2M, 2M, central block 4C, 4C face with each other in this combined block and tire equator Q is therebetween, thereby improve rigidity and drainage performance, and therefore present good driving stability.
And, lateral trench 3C of central authorities and intermediate lateral groove 3M are along inclined, for example, in the present embodiment, along the left side is the direction inclination on top, and it is identical being defined as with respect to leaning angle b3c, b3m that tire circumferentially forms acute side, and especially less than 50 degree to the scopes of 90 degree, be preferably in the scopes of 65 to 85 degree.The respective angles with respect to the tire contour of outer lateral trench 3S is located in the scope of approximately ± 80 spending, and is preferably in the scopes of ± 84 degree.
At this, the piece decorative pattern of each longitudinal groove 2 and lateral trench 3 is arranged so that preferably they are point symmetry with respect to the central authorities that the central point p0 by the 2c2 of the portion that has a down dip of central longitudinal groove 2C constitutes in each decorative pattern unit d, therefore improve drainage performance and thereby improved wet earth-catching property, and eliminate the variation in right side and left side and improve driving stability.
In the face of the sidepiece of middle the longitudinal groove 2M of central block 4C and the sidepiece of facing the middle longitudinal groove 2M of intermediate mass 4M are formed with the recess 7,8 that obtains by these pieces of central nicking in respective side portion.Be provided with this, form the main maintaining part of water, thereby improve drainage performance and improve tractive property.
In each piece 4, respectively along tire axial extend and pass two tire axial line yc1 of up and down jag of tire week and yc2, ym1 and ym2, and ys1 and ys2 between distance, that is to say that the corresponding tire circumferential distance of central authorities, centre and external block 4 is expressed as central block longitudinal length L4C, intermediate mass longitudinal length L4M and external block longitudinal length L4S.
That is to say:
The longitudinal length of central block, promptly the tire circumferential distance between the most outstanding end points of the circumferential both sides of tire of each central block is defined as L4C;
The longitudinal length of intermediate mass, promptly the tire circumferential distance between the most outstanding end points of the circumferential both sides of tire of each intermediate mass is defined as L4M; And
The longitudinal length of external block, promptly the tire circumferential distance between the most outstanding end points of the circumferential both sides of tire of each external block is defined as L4S.
On the other hand, in each piece 4, along tire circumferentially extend and pass respectively the tire contour xc1 of the upper and lower jag of the tire axial of central authorities, centre and external block 4 and xc2, xm1 and xm2, and xs1 and xs2 between the tire axial distance table be shown central block lateral length W4C, intermediate mass lateral length W4M and external block lateral length W4S.
That is to say:
The lateral length of central block, promptly the tire axial distance between the most outstanding end points of the tire axial both sides of each central block is defined as W4C;
The lateral length of intermediate mass, promptly the tire axial distance between the most outstanding end points of the tire axial both sides of each intermediate mass is defined as W4M; And
The lateral length of external block, promptly the tire axial distance between the most outstanding end points of the tire axial both sides of each external block is defined as W4S.
And satisfy following four equations at the ratio of L4/W4:
(L4S/W4S)＜(L4M/W4M)＜(L4C/W4C)
1.50＜L4C/W4C＜1.80
1.30＜L4M/W4M＜1.65
0.90＜L4S/W4S＜1.10
In this way, the lengthwise of piece 4 is defined as from central block 4C than L4/W4 and diminishes gradually to external block 4S.Therefore, piece lengthwise degree reduces and makes shape become to be bordering on square relatively.The longitudinal length L of each piece 4 is equivalent to deduct going up of each piece 4 or the length that obtains of the corresponding ditch groove width W3 of lateral trench 3 down by the pitch P from decorative pattern unit d.Therefore, the lengthwise of piece is more relevant with the tire axial length of lateral trench 4 than (L4/W4), and length becomes short more, and lengthwise can be big more than L/W.
By way of parenthesis, usually under the situation of following heavy-duty pneumatic tire, i.e. the middle body of tire, just crown is at first contacted to earth, and centre portion or tire shoulder portion contact to earth thereafter.Therefore, on the wetland road surface, the ponding between tread surface TS and the road surface can flow to the tire axial both sides from the middle body of tyre surface.At this moment, consider draining, it is more favourable that central lateral trench 3C has short tire axial distance.
And, consider the power that acts on the central block 4C, the circumferential power of tire is greater than the power of tire axial.Therefore, central block 4C is made for the shape of tool longitudinal tensile strain, and wherein tire is circumferentially vertically located and the tire axial horizontal location, so that improve tractive property and suppress the inclined to one side worn-down effect of piece, as shown in Figure 1.
On the other hand, because the tread surface TS of tire must have certain curvature, the slippage of tire shoulder portion is usually greater than the slippage of tire middle body.Therefore outer lateral trench 3S highly presents the alleged erasure effect of wiping the moisture film that is formed on the road surface.Therefore compared to central lateral trench 3C, the setting that tire axial length is longer is more favourable for improving wet earth-catching property.And, act on transverse force on the external block 4S greater than the transverse force that acts on the central block 4C.This point is particularly remarkable when rotating, and the lateral rigidity of external block 4S has influenced driving stability largely.Therefore consider wet earth-catching property and driving stability, preferably adopt the shape of longitudinal tensile strain shown in Figure 1.To in this respect, because intermediate mass 4M need present the characteristic between central block 4C and external block 4S, its style characteristic also need be between between it.
Preferably,
1.60＜L4C/W4C＜1.70
1.40＜L4M/W4M＜1.55
0.95＜L4S/W4S＜1.05
And, will be defined as w2C at the groove width of the central longitudinal groove 2C of the directional survey that intersects at a right angle with the groove line of centers,
Groove width at the middle longitudinal groove 2M of equidirectional is defined as w2M,
Groove width at the outer longitudinal groove 2S of equidirectional is defined as w2S,
Groove width at the central lateral trench 3C of equidirectional is defined as w3C,
Groove width at the intermediate lateral groove 3M of equidirectional is defined as w3M, and
Groove width at the outer lateral trench 3S of equidirectional is defined as w3S,
Satisfy following equation than w2/w3:
0.85＜w2C/w3C＜1.30
0.85＜w2M/w3M＜1.10
0.9＜w2S/w3S＜1.10
The groove width w2 that this means longitudinal groove 2 is made as roughly the same with the groove width w3 that is linked to its lateral trench 3.This is because find that this helps promoting the current in the tread surface and helps improving anti-inclined to one side worn-down performance when keeping straight on forward and turning to.The scope of described difference is made as ± and 10%, and preferably be not less than 0.94 to being not more than in 1.06 the scope.

Under relation as previously discussed, width is arranged on following ranges with respect to the width W T that contacts to earth under conventional situation.
0.015≤(w3C/WT)≤0.035
0.030≤(w3M/WT)≤0.050
0.035≤(w3S/WT)≤0.055
Be made as the closer to the tyre surface end by groove width w3 lateral trench 3 big more, current in the surface of contacting to earth that can promote from the surface, equator to flow and improve wet earth-catching property, and can presenting and longitudinal groove 2 similar effects to the tyre surface end.
In this regard, the value of each piece longitudinal length L, piece lateral length W and groove width w and reference position thereof are that wherein tire sets installs to conventional wheel rim and apply the value of measuring under the pressure condition in conventional interior press conventional on tread surface T, and when tread surface TS and trench wall intersect by arch section, be the value that the place, position of the intersection in the straight plane of its extension obtains.Herein, term " conventional wheel rim " refers to be defined as the conventional wheel rim that meets according to JATMA, according to TRA " design wheel rim (design rim) " and according to the wheel rim of one of ETRTO " measuring wheel rim (measuring rim) ", and term " is pressed in conventional " and is referred to be defined as the maximum gas pressure that meets according to JATMA, according to the maxim of explanation in TRA " the tire road surface limit of various cold inflation pressuries (tire load limites at various cold inflation pressures) " table with according to the air pressure of one of ETRTO " inflation pressure (inflation pressure) ".Term " conventional load " refers to corresponding to the conventional interior maximum load of pressing according to each standard.When finding fluctuation or analogue, adopts the centerline direction of groove width aviation value.
In the present embodiment, the gash depth of longitudinal groove 2C of central authorities and lateral trench 3C is about 11.0 to 20.0mm, and the gash depth of outer longitudinal groove 2S is than the longitudinal groove 2C of these central authorities dark about 0.2 to 5.0mm, and the depth ratio of outer lateral trench 3S should the lateral trench 3C of central authorities shallow about 7.0 to 13.0mm.These degree of depth are made as wherein the whole degree of depth at the tread contour of wearing and tearing (at least 50% degree of depth wearing and tearing) also clear reservation longitudinal groove 2 in latter stage and lateral trench 3.In this regard, the groove width of channel bottom is made as 50 to 90% (face width ratios) of the groove width on the tread surface.Be provided with this, by latter stage built-in edge form and the piece rigidity of improving crown can solve the problem of wet earth-catching property and driving stability (stability of Zhi Hanging especially forward).
Concerning intermediate mass 4M, the side of longitudinal groove 2S and be maintained the obtuse angle of above-below direction among the figure towards the angle g of the intersection point j of the side of intermediate lateral groove 3M outward is to prevent the punching press wearing and tearing.It circumferentially is uniformly that the tire axial width of intermediate mass 4M is made as at tire, for example, makes the ratio of maxim relative minimum be about 1.0 to 1.3.Therefore, by making at first contact side and the rigid uniform realization tire toe of contact side/tire heel worn-down minimizing at last.
And, prevent that by forming arc with radius of curvature r outstanding piece 4C, 4M and the outstanding end sections of 4S on tire axial eccentric wear from decreasing.Corresponding radius of curvature rC, the rM of piece 4C, 4M and 4S and rS (being generally called r later in equation) preferably are made as 0.05 to 0.30 times by the r coefficient (r4C, r4M, r4S) of piece 4C, the 4M of following equation acquisition and 4S.In this regard, L represents the piece longitudinal length of relevant block, and W represents the piece lateral length of relevant block.
R coefficient=r/ (L * W)
0.5
This be because value less than 0.05 o'clock, the cracked or inclined to one side worn-down effect of above-mentioned anti-stops is less, and value surpasses at 0.30 o'clock, the erasure effect of the block edge in the road surface that wets can reduce.
Secondly, in second invention shown in Fig. 5 to 7, satisfy following equation.
(W4Smax/W4Smin)＜(W4Mmax/W4Mmin)＜(W4Cmax/W4Cmin)
1.00≤W4Smax/W4Smin≤1.20
1.15≤W4Mmax/W4Mmin≤1.40
1.40≤W4Cmax/W4Cmin≤1.70，
Wherein, in the zone of the central block 4C that is centered on by central longitudinal groove 2C and middle longitudinal groove 2M, the central block maximum width of tire axial width maximum is defined as W4Cmax, and minimum central block minimum width is defined as W4Cmin.
In the zone of the intermediate mass 4M that is centered on by middle longitudinal groove 2M and outer longitudinal groove 2S, the intermediate mass maximum width of tire axial width maximum is defined as W4Mmax, and the intermediate mass minimum width of minimum is defined as W4Mmin.
In the zone of the external block 4S that is centered on by outer longitudinal groove 2S and tyre surface end E, the external block maximum width of tire axial width maximum is defined as W4Smax, and minimum external block minimum width is defined as W4Smin.
In this regard, measure piece maximum width and piece minimum width at the intersection point place that is in towards recessed longitudinal groove 4M side towards the extended surface of each trench wall 4Mw of middle longitudinal groove 4M.Here ignore recess 7,8.
The rate of change of the tire axial width of above-mentioned (W4Smax/W4Smin), (W4Mmax/W4Mmin), (W4Cmax/W4Cmin) indication relevant block 4.Near tire equator Q (the circumferential application force of this place's tire is big and tractive force is little and the H/T wearing and tearing less relatively) central block 4C be defined as than other pieces and have bigger rate of change.In other words, the zigzag bending degree of central longitudinal groove 2C increases.Be provided with this, for example, the vertical/horizontal rigidity of the middle body that the tire week of piece makes progress increases, thereby improves earth-catching property and driving stability.
Big rate of change is set also helps to improve tractive property.On the other hand, for the bigger external block 4S of axial force little ratio (W4Smax/W4Smin) is set near tyre surface end E.Make piece take to make the circumferential wearing and tearing energy uniformization of tire also improve the propulsive effort and the driving stability of tire simultaneously to reduce the H/T wearing and tearing near the shape of rectangle.
More particularly, when carrying out conventional craspedodrome forward, normally first contacts to earth central block 4C in the piece, and its remain on time of road surface the longest contact to earth simultaneously press also big.When realizing travelling of wet road surface with such piece, the ratio (W4max/W4min) between maximum width and the minimum width is bigger, and the erasure effect of tearing and wipe moisture film can be increased, and then improves wet earth-catching property.On the other hand, because bigger in the circumferential slippage of the tire of tire shoulder portion, the H/T wearing and tearing are easy to take place during bigger between the maximum width of piece and the minimum width.In this regard, by with the middle body setting that tire week make progress of maximum width, can be easier to prevent that the H/T worn-down from taking place near each piece.And, by circumferentially the tire axial width of intermediate mass 4M evenly being provided with, for example, be above-mentioned value by the ratio that maxim and minimum value are set at tire, the rigid uniformization of contact side at first and last contact side can be realized that the H/T worn-down reduces.
Under the situation of W4Smax/W4Smin＞1.20, then can not prevent the H/T wearing and tearing of external block 4S.When 1.15＞W4Mmax/W4Mmin or 1.40＞W4Mmax/W4Mmin, wet earth-catching property is insufficient.In W4Cmax/W4Cmin＜1.40 or W4Cmax/W4Cmin＞1.70 o'clock, be easy to take place the H/T wearing and tearing at intermediate mass 4M and central block 4C place.
Preferably
1.05≤W4Smax/W4Smin≤1.10
1.20≤W4Mmax/W4Mmin≤1.30
1.50≤W4Cmax/W4Cmin≤1.60
In this regard, maximum width W4Smax, the W4Mmax of each piece and W4Cmax are arranged in the following scope with respect to the width W T that contacts to earth of conventional state
0.16≤W4Smax/WT≤0.20
0.12≤W4Mmax/WT≤0.16
0.11≤W4Cmax/WT≤0.15
The reason that such value is set is to surpass 0.20 as W4Smax/WT, the H/T variation, and when its less than 0.16 the time, produce the SH tire shoulder and descend and wear and tear.When W4Mmax/WT surpasses 0.16, the H/T variation, and when its less than 0.12, produce secondary punching press wearing and tearing.When W4Cmax/WT surpasses 0.15, the H/T variation, and when its less than 0.11, produce the punching press wearing and tearing.
Herein, term " the width W T that contacts to earth of normal condition " refers to install to conventional wheel rim and be filled with the surperficial maximum width that contacts to earth when applying conventional load under the state of pressing in conventional in tire sets.
By adopting above-mentioned setting, can limit that tire slides circumferentially that the eccentric wear that produced decreases and the degeneration that limits other performances simultaneously.Yet,, preferably further limit described eccentric wear and decrease at intermediate mass 4M because be easy in the row of whole intermediate mass 4M cause that the flange of premature wear impacts (rib punching).
For this purpose, provide tie-rod 5 shown in Figure 1 etc. in the intermediate lateral groove 3M between intermediate mass 4M, 4M.Fig. 8 illustrates the partial enlarged view of intermediate mass 4M, 4M and intermediate lateral groove 3M therebetween, and Fig. 9 (A) is the cross section along the A-A of Fig. 8, and Fig. 9 (B) is the section drawing along B-B.Tie-rod 5 protrudes from channel bottom in the substantial middle part of the tire axial of intermediate lateral groove 3M, to connect the trench wall of intermediate mass 4M, 4M.By described tie-rod 5, limited intermediate mass 4M in the circumferential motion of tire, thereby reduced abrasion wheels and suppress above-mentioned inclined to one side worn-down and take place.
The tire axial distance W 5 of tie-rod 5 be defined as the tire axial length W3M that is not less than this intermediate lateral groove 3M 20% and be not more than its 65%.When less than 20% the time, the effect of tie-rod is insufficient, and when surpassing 65%, is easy to wet earth-catching property is had a negative impact.The tie-rod depth D 5 that is given as the distance on the tire axial on 5 surfaces from tread surface TS to tie-rod is defined as the average gash depth D3M that is not less than intermediate lateral groove 3M 25% and be not more than its 75%.When less than 25% the time, the effect of tie-rod can not present, and when surpassing 75%, is easy to wet earth-catching property is had a negative impact.
And tie-rod 5 comprises sipes per tire 6.This sipes per tire 6 can be the notch that width w6 is not more than 1mm, and can be roughly the notch of 0mm.Be provided with this, prevented that tie-rod from improving the reducing of effect of intermediate mass 4M rigid circumference.It has also strengthened the effect of tearing moisture film by the small switching in the surface of contacting to earth.When width surpasses 1mm, the effect of tie-rod reduces.It can also be presented on the degeneration of the wet earth-catching property of restriction when making on the tread surface that intermediate mass 4M is connected at experience wear and tie-rod.The depth D 6 of sipes per tire 6 be defined as the average gash depth that is not less than intermediate lateral groove 3M and the tie-rod degree of depth poor (D3M-D5) 50% and be not more than its 100%.When less than 50% the time, the effect of sipes per tire can not present.When surpassing 100%, that is, the bottom of comparing intermediate lateral groove 3M when the end of sipes per tire is positioned at tire axial when inboard, and the effect that tie-rod improves the rigid circumference of intermediate mass 4M reduces.
In the present embodiment, gash depth is foregoing 15 to 20.0mm, is preferably about 15 to 18mm for central longitudinal groove 2C and lateral trench 3C.The gash depth of outer longitudinal groove 2S and lateral trench 3S is defined as the gash depth dark 0 to 20.0mm than central longitudinal groove 2C and lateral trench 3S.Be provided with this, the degree of depth is made as wherein the whole degree of depth that have the tread contour of the longitudinal groove 2 of tie-rod 5 and lateral trench 3 at least in wearing and tearing (wearing and tearing of 50% degree of depth) also clear reservation in latter stage.The groove width of each channel bottom is made as 50 to 90% of groove width on the tread surface.Be provided with thus, by latter stage built-in edge form and the piece rigidity of improving crown can obtain wet earth-catching property and driving stability (stability of Zhi Hanging especially forward).In this regard, at the directional survey groove width that intersects at a right angle with the groove line of centers.
Secondly, in the 3rd invention, the length balance that the edge that balance is made of the circumferential edge at each wear stage of the piece 4 of tread contour is formed is to satisfy following six equations:
EC50＞EC00 …(1)
EC90＞EC00 …(2)
EL50＞0.5×EL00 …(3)
EL90＞0.5×EL00 …(4)
1.5＜EC50/EL50＜2.2 …(5)
2.5＜EC90/EL90＜3.5 …(6)
Term " tread surface TS " refers in each stage, just, and at the new product state or with the tread surface of oldState contact road surface.In this regard, be assumed to each wearing and tearing in stage normally carry out tread surface under the situation.The tread surface of new product is defined as TS00, and 50% worn-down tread surface is that TS50 and 90% worn-down tread surface are TS90.And, the intersection of the tread surface TS under the piece wear state that term " profile that the periphery wall of tread surface and piece intersects " refers to expect and the periphery of piece.The overall circumferential edge e of piece is the total length of this profile.
Tread surface TS is the zone between tyre surface end E, the E.Therefore, term " the overall circumferential edge e of piece " expression is arranged in the block edge of tread surface 2.Therefore, leave the place of tyre surface end E at piece 4, the circumferential edge that is positioned at tread surface 2 outsides is removed from the overall circumferential edge e of piece.
From the overall circumferential edge e of piece, take out the notion that the circumferential circumferential edge of tire is formed ec and formed e1 in the axial edge of tire axial.As shown in figure 11, be example with intermediate mass 4M, term " total circumferential edge is formed ec " refers to that piece circumferential edge e is projected into length ec1, the ec2 on tire circumference surface (surface that is parallel to tire equator) from tire axial one side and opposite side ... and.Term " line shaft is formed e1 to the edge " refers to that piece circumferential edge e is projected into length e11, the e12 on tire circumference surface (surface that is parallel to tire axial) respectively from circumferential side of tire and opposite side ... and.
Total circumferential edge under the new product state Y00 of the tread surface TS00 of new product is formed EC and is defined as EC00, and its line shaft is defined as EL00 to the edge composition.The total circumferential edge of " 50% wear state Y50 " on the tread surface TS50 under the 50% worn-down state is formed EC and is defined as EC50, and its line shaft is defined as EL50 to the edge composition.The total circumferential edge of " 90% wear state Y90 " on the tread surface TS90 under 90% wear state is formed EC and is defined as EC90, and its line shaft is defined as EL90 to the edge composition.At this moment, satisfy aforesaid equation (1) to (6).
At this moment, " 50% wear state Y50 " refers to wear state as shown in figure 12, wherein aforementioned 50% the gash depth wearing and tearing that comprise tread groove 7m the darkest in the tread groove 7 of longitudinal groove 2 and lateral trench 3.The 90% worn-down state of " 90% wear state Y90 " dactylotome groove depth H.In the present embodiment, longitudinal groove 2C, 2M and 2S comprise the darkest tread groove 7m.
The present inventor is by discovering: for cornering properties, particularly wetland performance, it is important that total circumferential edge is formed EC.This is because total circumferential edge composition EC follows wearing and tearing to understand than new product sizable increase to be arranged, in order to the wetland performance is kept the same with new product high.From new product to the wearing and tearing whole process in latter stage, the wetland performance is important, following wearing and tearing to carry out channel volume and unavoidably reduce.Therefore, need compensate reducing of channel volume by increasing total circumferential edge composition EC.Therefore, in equation (1) and (2), total circumferential edge of each wear state Y50, Y90 is formed EC50, the total circumferential edge when EC90 compares new product is formed EC00 increases to some extent.At this moment, do not limit the relation between EC50 and the EC90 especially, wish EC50≤EC90, and require to satisfy EC50≤EC90 further.
Consider tractive property, particularly consider upward performance of snow, it is important that line shaft is formed EL to the edge, and wishes that it is bigger, and it is similar that this and total circumferential edges are formed EC.Yet, to guarantee to reach 50% worn-down snow in the Tire used in winter and go up performance.Therefore, performance does not need to guarantee as the wetland performance high on the snow after 50% wearing and tearing.Therefore, the line shaft of the line shaft of each wear state Y50, Y90 when the edge is formed EL50, EL90 than new product formed the EL00 increase more than 0.5 times to the edge in equation (3) and (4).At this moment, consider EL50 and EL90,, wish to guarantee that EL90 is not less than 0.6 times of EL50 and further is not less than 0.7 times for improving performance on the snow after 90% wearing and tearing as far as possible.
In this regard, in conventional tire, form EC90 in total circumferential edge of 90% wear state Y90 and be not more than 80% of total circumferential edge composition EC00 (new product state Y00), and line shaft is not more than line shaft to edge composition EL90 and forms 30% of EL00 (new product state Y00) to the edge, is extremely low therefore.
As above illustrated, can not need to guarantee to find out that follow wearing and tearing to carry out, performance is different with the importance of wetland performance on the snow from performance on the snow after 50% wearing and tearing as the equally high fact of wetland performance.Therefore, go up performance and wetland performance, need form EC and the ratio EC/EL of line shaft between edge composition EL in each wear stage Y50, the total circumferential edge of Y90 balance for show snow in the mode of complete equilibrium.Therefore, limit EC50/EL50 and EC90/EL90 equation (3) and
(4) in the particular range in.
In this regard, can degenerate less than the wetland performance of 1.5,50% wear stages than EC50/EL50 when above-mentioned.This is because circumferential edge composition reduces relatively, makes that the earth-grasping force when rotating reduces.On the other hand, when its greater than 2.2 the time, performance can be degenerated on the snow of 50% wear stage.This is because axial edge is formed reduces relatively and tractive property degeneration when avenge startup.Therefore be preferably than the lower limit of EC50/EL50 and be not less than 2.0.
When than EC90/EL90 less than 2.5 the time, the wetland performance of 90% wear stage can be degenerated.This is because circumferential edge composition reduces relatively, makes that the earth-grasping force when turning to reduces.On the other hand, when its greater than 3.5 the time, not only performance but also wetland performance all can be degenerated on the snow of 90% wear stage.Therefore be preferably than the lower limit of EC90/EL90 and be not less than 2.7, and its higher limit is preferably and is not more than 3.4 simultaneously.
For satisfying aforesaid equation (1) to (6), present embodiment is set to form tread groove 7, is formed with in 50% wear state Y50 worn-down, 50% wearing and tearing trench portions 12 with in 90% wear state Y90 worn-down, 90% wearing and tearing trench portions 13.
Because more shallow than the darkest tread groove 7m, 50% wearing and tearing trench portions 12 is in 50% wear state Y50 wearing and tearing.Like this, its channel bottom B12 is included in the shallow trench part that is exposed to tread surface TS50 under 50% wear state.More specifically be that as shown in figure 12, its gash depth H1 is not more than 50% of deep trench depth H.Yet, when it is too shallow, its will be in early days stage wearing and tearing and make effect of the present invention fully not present, so this gash depth H1 is made as 40 to 50% of deep trench depth H, more preferably 45 to 50%.In addition, 90% wearing and tearing trench portions 13 is the shallow trench parts that are exposed to tread surface 90 at 90% wear state lower groove bottom B13.Its gash depth H2 is made as and is not more than 90% of deep trench depth H, is preferably 80% to 90%, and more preferably 85 to 90%.
Wearing and tearing trench portions 12,13 can be arranged on the appropriate location of longitudinal groove 3 and lateral trench 4, and single longitudinal groove 3 and lateral trench 4 are whole can form wearing and tearing trench portions 12,13.In the present embodiment, as shown in figure 10, it is interior distolateral that 50% wearing and tearing trench portions 12 is formed on the tire axial of the middle body side of intermediate lateral groove 3M and outer lateral trench 3S.The wherein layout of 90% wearing and tearing trench portions 13,50% wearing and tearing trench portions 12 of the outer end of lateral trench 3S outside tire axial outside adjacency is arranged on also is shown.
When these grooves disappeared, external block 4S became continuous spine's shape.
In this way, follow wearing and tearing to carry out, wearing and tearing trench portions 12,13 can freely be got rid of the edge as lateral edges and end margin, thereby can satisfy equation (1) to (6).In this regard, as shown in figure 14, the 50% wearing and tearing trench portions 12 that is arranged on intermediate lateral groove 3M place is formed with sipes per tire 16 at the channel bottom B12 that is parallel to lateral trench 3M.In this example, can increase the circumferential edge that is constituted by two end margin R12 by the loss of for example eliminating lateral edges Q12 and form ec by the appearance of narrow groove 16.
