Each major trough 3 to 6 is the linearity along tire circumferential direction。Water in groove can be discharged by such major trough 3 to 6 swimmingly to the rear of direction of rotation, therefore improves wetland performance。
In the present embodiment, the groove width of the major trough of vehicle interior side is formed as bigger than the groove width of the major trough of vehicle outside。Generally, when turning is advanced, the cross force acted in the landing part of vehicle outside is bigger than the cross force acted in the landing part of vehicle interior side。Therefore, in order to make the cornering force to vehicle outside and vehicle interior side uniformly improve control stability, it is necessary to the tire axial rigidity of the landing part corresponding with cross force。Therefore, preferably the groove width W2 of the 2nd major trough 4 is formed bigger than the groove width W3 of the 3rd major trough 5。It addition, the landing part of tire equator C side is difficult to discharge the moisture film of the lower section of each landing part compared with the landing part of tyre surface end To, Ti side of both sides。Therefore, preferably groove width W1, the W4 of the 1st major trough the 3 and the 4th major trough 6 improve greatly drainage performance than the groove width W3 of the 3rd major trough 5。It addition, in order to be effectively discharged out being difficult to act on the moisture film of the lower section of the landing part between the 1st major trough the 3 and the 2nd major trough 4 of relatively larger transverse power, in the present embodiment, the groove width W2 making the 2nd major trough 4 is maximum。It addition, the groove width of each major trough is not limited to such mode。
From the viewpoint effectively playing above-mentioned effect, the groove width W1 of the 1st major trough 3 is preferably the 4.5%~8.5% of tyre surface ground connection width TW。The groove width W2 of the 2nd major trough 4 is preferably the 5.5%~9.5% of tyre surface ground connection width TW。The groove width W3 of the 3rd major trough 5 is preferably the 1.5%~5.5% of tyre surface ground connection width TW。The groove width W4 of the 4th major trough 6 is preferably the 4%~8% of tyre surface ground connection width TW。Though being not particularly limited, but the groove depth of each major trough 3 to 6 (omitting diagram) is preferably 7.0~9.5mm。
Fetus face 2 is formed with the 1st landing part 13, landing part the 12 and the 5th, landing part the 11, the 4th, landing part the 10, the 3rd, landing part the 9, the 2nd by each major trough 3 to 6。
The 1st landing part 9 is divided by the 1st major trough the 3 and the 2nd major trough 4。The 2nd landing part 10 is divided with inner tread end Ti by the 2nd major trough 4。The 3rd landing part 11 is divided by outside tyre surface end To and the 3 major trough 5。The 4th landing part 12 is divided by the 3rd major trough the 5 and the 4th major trough 6。The 5th landing part 13 is divided by the 1st major trough the 3 and the 4th major trough 6。
Fig. 2 is the enlarged drawing of the 1st landing part 10, landing part the 9 and the 2nd。As in figure 2 it is shown, arrange the 1st transverse groove the 15, the 2nd transverse groove 16 and vertical slit 17 in the 1st landing part 9。
1st transverse groove 15 extends from the 1st major trough 3 and has the inner 15e terminated in the 1st landing part 9。The groove width of the 1st transverse groove 15 of present embodiment is incremented by towards the 1st major trough 3 side。Thus, the water in groove is smoothly discharged the 1st major trough 3。
1st transverse groove 15 has the 1st groove edge 15a and the 2nd groove edge 15b extended in the opposing party side of tire circumferential direction extended in a side side of tire circumferential direction。Till 1st groove edge 15a of present embodiment linearly extends to the 1st major trough 3 from described inner 15e。2nd groove edge 15b of present embodiment from described inner 15e arc-shaped extend to the 1st major trough 3 till。The rigidity of the 1st landing part 9 is maintained higher by such 1st transverse groove 15。
1st transverse groove 15 tilts relative to tire axial。Thus, earth contact pressure when advancing of keeping straight on, cross force when advancing of turning is utilized more to be smoothly discharged the water in groove。
In order to effectively play effect as above, the 1st transverse groove 15 is preferably 30~50 degree relative to the angle, θ 1 of tire axial。Angle, θ 1 such as the 1st transverse groove 15 of present embodiment is defined by the arranging angle of the 1st groove edge 15a linearly formed。
The length L1 of the tire axial of the 1st transverse groove 15 is preferably the 25%~45% of the tire axial Breadth Maximum Wa of the 1st landing part 9。That is, when the length L1 of the 1st transverse groove 15 less than the 1st landing part 9 Breadth Maximum Wa 25%, have the worry that wetland performance cannot be made to improve。When the 1st transverse groove 15 length L1 more than the 1st landing part 9 Breadth Maximum Wa 45%, have the worry that the rigidity of the 1st landing part 9 reduces。
In order to effectively play above-mentioned effect, the maximum groove width W5 of the 1st transverse groove 15 is preferably the 20%~30% of the tire axial Breadth Maximum Wa of the 1st landing part 9。It addition, the groove depth of the 1st transverse groove 15 (omitting diagram) is preferably the 65%~75% of the groove depth of the 1st major trough 3。It addition, the groove width such as the 1st transverse groove 15 of present embodiment is defined as the distance intermarginal with the groove in the 1st groove edge 15a direction at a right angle linearly extended。
2nd transverse groove 16 extends from the 2nd major trough 4 and has the inner 16e terminated in the 1st landing part 9。So, owing to the 1st transverse groove the 15 and the 2nd transverse groove 16 crosses the 1st landing part 9 by halves, therefore the 1st landing part 9 is formed as rib that is continuous at tire circumferential direction and that have high circumferencial direction rigidity and lateral stiffness。Thus the control stability on dry pavement can be improved in the 1st landing part 9。It addition, when advancing in wet road surface, the moisture film of the lower section of the 1st landing part 9 can be discharged to the 1st major trough the 3 or the 2nd major trough 4 of the both sides of the 1st landing part 9 effectively via the 1st transverse groove the 15 or the 2nd transverse groove 16。
Towards the 2nd major trough 4, groove width W6 is incremented by 2nd transverse groove 16。Water in its groove can be smoothly discharged the 2nd major trough 4 by such 2nd transverse groove 16。In the present embodiment, the 2nd transverse groove 16 linearly extends。
2nd transverse groove the 16 and the 1st transverse groove 15 is alternately arranged on tire circumferential direction。Thus, the tire axial rigidity homogenization of the 1st landing part 9 is made throughout tire circumferential direction。" alternately arranged " refers to, the state that the inner 16e of inner 15e and the 2 transverse groove 16 of the 1st transverse groove 15 misplaces on tire circumferential direction。In order to effectively play effect as above, the tire circumferential direction distance La of the inner 16e of inner 15e and the 2 transverse groove 16 of the 1st transverse groove 15 is preferably more than the 25% of the tire circumferential direction spacing P1 of the 1st transverse groove 15, more preferably more than 30%。
In the present embodiment, the 2nd transverse groove 16 is connected with the 2nd major trough 4 being arranged near inner tread end Ti side。Thus, even if in acting on the landing part of vehicle interior side of the little cross force of the cross force being compared to the landing part for vehicle outside, also utilizing cross force that the water in groove is smoothly discharged inner tread end Ti side (the 2nd major trough 4), therefore wetland performance improves。It addition, the 2nd major trough 4 being connected to the 2nd transverse groove 16 can also be arranged near tyre surface end To side, outside。
More than the 50% of the tire axial Breadth Maximum Wa that tire axial length L2 is the 1st landing part 9 of the 2nd transverse groove 16。Thereby, it is possible to reliably tyre surface end Ti side (the 2nd major trough 4) discharges more water to the inside。In order to reliably play such effect, the tire axial length L2 of the 2nd transverse groove 16 is preferably more than the 55% of the tire axial Breadth Maximum Wa of the 1st landing part 9。It addition, when the tire axial length L2 of the 2nd transverse groove 16 is excessive, have the worry that the decorative pattern rigidity of the 1st landing part 9 reduces。Therefore, the tire axial length L2 of the 2nd transverse groove 16 is preferably less than the 70% of the tire axial Breadth Maximum Wa of the 1st landing part 9, more preferably less than 65%。
2nd transverse groove 16 tilts to tire axial。Thus, it is also possible to utilize cross force when advancing of turning, ground pressure when advancing of keeping straight on that the water in the 2nd transverse groove 16 is smoothly discharged to the 2nd major trough 4。In order to effectively play such effect, the angle, θ 2 relative to tire axial of the 2nd transverse groove 16 is preferably 30~50 degree。The angle, θ 2 of the 2nd transverse groove 16 is defined in the angle of a sequence of groove center line 16c of tire axial by by the centre position of tire circumferential direction line intermarginal for the groove by the 2nd transverse groove 16。
2nd transverse groove the 16 and the 1st transverse groove 15 is to inclined。Thereby, it is possible to make the tire axial rigidity of the 1st landing part 9 impartial throughout tire circumferential direction ground convergence。Therefore, it is possible to the turn performance on the control stability being greatly improved on dry pavement, wet road surface。
For the control stability maintained on dry pavement and the turn performance improving wet road surface, the groove width W6 of the 2nd transverse groove 16 is preferably the 15%~25% of the tire axial Breadth Maximum Wa of the 1st landing part 9。It addition, the groove depth of the 2nd transverse groove 16 (omitting diagram) is preferably the 65%~75% of the groove depth of the 2nd major trough 4。
Vertical slit 17 connects with the 2nd transverse groove 16 and two ends 17e, 17e terminate in the 1st landing part 9。Such vertical slit 17 can not make the lateral stiffness of the 1st landing part 9 reduce, and provides the marginal element of tire circumferential direction to the 1st landing part 9。Therefore, when on wet road surface, turning is advanced, the vertical slit 17 of present embodiment can improve the frictional force of road pavement。Further, turn in wet road surface when advancing, vertical slit 17 due to act on the cross force of the 1st landing part 9 and to the direction compression making groove width W7 reduce。The compression of such vertical slit 17 makes the water in vertical slit 17 discharge to the 2nd major trough 4 well via the 2nd transverse groove 16 impetus。Therefore, the wet turn performance on road surface is greatly improved。
Vertical slit 17 extends along tire circumferential direction。Thus, cross force when advancing of turning acts on more greatly near vertical slit 17, therefore makes the groove width W7 of vertical slit 17 produce to reduce the compression in direction further。Thus, when turning traveling, the water in vertical slit 17 is made to discharge to the 2nd major trough 4 more swimmingly。It addition, " extending along tire circumferential direction " refers to that the angle, θ 3 relative to tire circumferential direction of vertical slit 17 is below 5 degree。The angle, θ 3 of vertical slit 17 is defined with a sequence of dummy line 17c of straight line by by two ends 17e, 17e of vertical slit 17。
In the present embodiment, two ends 17e, 17e of vertical slit 17 are positioned near the inner 15e of the 1st transverse groove 15, do not connect with the inner 15e of the 1st transverse groove 15。Such vertical slit 17 maintains the rigidity of the 1st bigger landing part 9, and makes the water in vertical slit 17 reliably be discharged to inner tread end Ti side (the 2nd major trough 4)。
The vicinity of inner 15e of the 1st transverse groove 15 " the outer end 17e of vertical slit 17 be positioned at " refers to, in order to effectively play above-mentioned effect, for instance the 5%~15% of the tire axial Breadth Maximum Wa that beeline Lb is the 1st landing part 9 of the tire circumferential direction of the inner 15e of outer end 17e and the 1 transverse groove 15 of vertical slit 17。When described beeline Lb more than the 1st landing part 9 Breadth Maximum Wa 15%, the tire circumferential direction length L3 of vertical slit 17 diminishes, and has the worry of the moisture film of the lower section that cannot effectively gather the 1st landing part 9。
Preferably vertical slit 17 the 1st transverse groove 15 that to be arranged on tire circumferential direction adjacent is inner between 15e, 15e。Thus, it is formed without vertical slit 17 overlapping portion overlapping on tire circumferential direction with the 1st transverse groove 15 or described overlapping portion diminishes, therefore, it is possible to maintain the tire axial rigidity of the 1st bigger landing part 9。The compacting effect of the moisture film produced in order to ensure vertical slit 17 and maintain the tire axial rigidity of the 1st landing part 9, preferably the 75%~95% of the tire circumferential direction spacing P1 that tire circumferential direction length L3 is the 1st transverse groove 15 of vertical slit 17。
The vertical slit 17 of present embodiment connects with the 2nd transverse groove 16 in the position offset to tire circumferential direction position from the centre position of its tire circumferential direction length L3。2nd transverse groove 16, from vertical slit 17 tyre surface end Ti side to the inside, extends in one direction, and this direction is the direction from the skew of position, described centre position。Thus, the corner portion 18 of the side, obtuse angle owing to being formed between vertical slit the 17 and the 2nd transverse groove 16 of the 1st landing part 9 is arranged at the longer side separated on tire circumferential direction of vertical slit 17 by the 2nd transverse groove 16, therefore suppresses the reduction of the decorative pattern rigidity in corner portion 18。When inner 16e excessive position skew from the centre position of vertical slit 17 of the 2nd transverse groove 16, the described distance La of the inner 15e of inner 16e and the 1 transverse groove 15 of the 2nd transverse groove 16 diminishes, and has the worry that the tire axial rigidity gradient change of the 1st landing part 9 is big。From such viewpoint, it is preferable that the tire circumferential direction distance Lc of the inner 16e of outer end 17e and the 2 transverse groove 16 of the tire circumferential direction of vertical slit 17 is the 20%~40% of the tire circumferential direction length L3 of vertical slit 17。
In order to effectively make to indulge produced by cross force when turning is advanced the reduction of the lateral stiffness of the compression generation of slit 17 and suppression the 1st landing part 9, it is preferable that the 3%~13% of the tire axial Breadth Maximum Wa that average groove width W7 is the 1st landing part 9 of vertical slit 17。According to same viewpoint, it is preferable that the groove depth (omitting diagram) of vertical slit 17 is about 1~2mm。
