Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to a pneumatic tire that improves wet steering stability and dry steering stability.
Background
Patent document 1 discloses a pneumatic tire having 4 main grooves extending in the tire circumferential direction on the tread surface of a tread portion. In this document, the main groove is formed in a wave shape whose groove width is constant in the tire circumferential direction and periodically has an amplitude.
Further, according to patent document 1, since each main groove is formed in a wave shape having an amplitude periodically, the main groove is widened as a whole, and drainage becomes good, and braking performance on a wet road surface can be maintained. In addition, since the groove width of each main groove is constant in the tire circumferential direction, the rigidity in the vicinity of the main groove of each land portion formed by each main groove is uniformized, and therefore the wear resistance can be improved.

The periodic displacement may be, for example, a shape in which irregularities are alternately repeated in the tire width direction W, and more specifically, a waveform or a zigzag shape having an amplitude in the tire width direction W. Here, the waveform may be, for example, a rectangular wave, a triangular wave, a sine wave, or the like, but is not limited thereto. Furthermore, the period of the periodic displacement of each circumferential main groove is preferably the same. In particular, when the periodic shift is a waveform, the wavelengths and/or amplitudes of the circumferential main grooves are preferably equal.
The constant chamfer width means that the ratio of the minimum value of the chamfer width to the maximum value of the chamfer width is 0.90 or more. The ratio of the minimum value of the chamfer width to the maximum value of the chamfer width may be 0.90 or more, 0.92 or more, 0.95 or more, or 0.99 or more. The ratio of the minimum value of the chamfer width to the maximum value of the chamfer width is 1.00 or less. Here, the "chamfer width" is the length of the chamfer portion in the tire width direction.
Fig. 1 is not intended to limit the gist of a pneumatic tire according to the basic aspect of the present disclosure. In particular, in fig. 1, the number of circumferential main grooves formed on the tread surface is 2, but in the basic aspect of the present disclosure, the number of circumferential main grooves is not limited to 2, but may be 3, 4, or more.
However, considering the length of the tread portion of the tire in the tire width direction, the number of circumferential main grooves is preferably 2 or more and 5 or less. The number of the circumferential main grooves may be 2 or more, 3 or more, or 4 or more, and may be 5 or less, 4 or less, or 3 or less.
Accordingly, as the pneumatic tire of the basic embodiment of the present disclosure, an example such as that shown in fig. 2 may be cited in addition to the example shown in fig. 1.
Fig. 2 is a plan view of a tread surface 200 of a tread portion in other examples of a pneumatic tire of the basic mode of the present disclosure.
The pneumatic tire shown in fig. 2 is assigned to the mounting direction with respect to the vehicle. On the tread surface 200 of the tread portion, an inner side W is mounted from the vehicle I The first circumferential main groove 210, the second circumferential main groove 220, and the third circumferential main groove 230 are provided in this order. Here, the respective groove widths of the 3 circumferential main grooves 210, 220, 230 may be constant. In addition, the groove center lines of these circumferential main grooves 210, 220, 230 are periodically shifted in the tire width direction W as they progress in the tire circumferential direction C. More specifically, the groove center line has a waveform having an amplitude in the tire width direction W. Further, vehicle-mounted inside chamfer portions 211, 221, 231 having a constant chamfer width are formed at the vehicle-mounted inside edge portions of these circumferential main grooves 210, 220, 230, respectively.
Although not limited by the principle, in the pneumatic tire of the basic embodiment of the present disclosure, the principle that both wet steering stability and dry steering stability can be achieved is as follows.
The pneumatic tire of the basic aspect of the present disclosure is provided with a plurality of circumferential main grooves on a tread surface of a tread portion. Also, in the tire plan view, the groove center lines of the plurality of circumferential main grooves are periodically shifted in the tire width direction as they progress in the tire circumferential direction.
The pneumatic tire according to the basic aspect of the present disclosure can increase the groove area with respect to a linear circumferential main groove having the same groove width by such a shape of the circumferential main groove, and thus can obtain higher drainage.
In addition, by the shape of such a circumferential main groove, the so-called edge portion of the land portion divided by the circumferential main groove includes not only the tire circumferential direction component but also the tire width direction component. Therefore, the land portion formed by the circumferential main groove division according to the present embodiment can exhibit excellent rigidity not only for forces from the tire width direction but also for forces from the tire circumferential direction, and can achieve excellent dry steering stability during the road running in which particularly severe load conditions are expected.
Further, in the pneumatic tire of the basic aspect of the present disclosure, a vehicle-mounting-inner chamfer portion having a constant chamfer width is formed at the vehicle-mounting-inner edge portion of the circumferential main groove. Therefore, by making the inclination angle of the side wall on the vehicle mounting side, which is prone to chipping of the blocks due to abrasion in particular, of the side walls of the circumferential main groove gentle with respect to the tire radial direction, the rigidity of the land portion including the side wall can be improved. Further, by providing the chamfer portion, the groove area can be further increased, and the drainage can be improved. Therefore, excellent wet steering stability can be achieved during the loop running in which particularly severe load conditions are expected.
In view of the above, the pneumatic tire according to the basic aspect of the present disclosure can achieve both wet steering stability and dry steering stability due to the improvement of the land rigidity and the improvement of the drainage property. As described above, the pneumatic tire according to the present embodiment is a tire suitable for road-around running in which particularly severe load conditions are expected.
Additional modes 1-1
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, in the pneumatic tire according to additional aspect 1-1 of the present disclosure, in basic aspect 1, vehicle-mounted outside chamfer portions 112, 212 having a constant chamfer width are formed in at least a circumferential main groove disposed at a position nearest to a vehicle-mounted inside, that is, a rim portion on a vehicle-mounted outside of 1 st circumferential main grooves 110, 210 in each of the drawings, among the plurality of circumferential main grooves.
In fig. 1, a vehicle-mounted outside chamfer 122 having a constant chamfer width is also formed at the vehicle-mounted outside edge of the 2 nd circumferential main groove 120.
In fig. 2, vehicle-mounted outside chamfer portions 212 and 222 having a constant chamfer width are formed in the vehicle-mounted outside edge portions of the 1 st and 2 nd circumferential main grooves 210 and 220, respectively, of the 3 circumferential main grooves 210, 220, and 230. In addition, no chamfer is formed at the edge portion of the 3 rd circumferential main groove 230 on the vehicle mounting outer side.
In general, drainage is preferentially improved on the vehicle-mounted inner side, and rigidity is preferentially improved on the vehicle-mounted outer side, so that dry steering stability and wet steering stability are efficiently improved. This is because the ground pressure tends to be relatively high on the vehicle-mounted outside and relatively low on the vehicle-mounted inside.
In the pneumatic tire according to additional aspect 1-1 of the present disclosure, in the circumferential main groove disposed at least at the position closest to the vehicle mounting inner side among the plurality of circumferential main grooves, a chamfer portion having a constant chamfer width is formed in the vehicle mounting outer side edge portion in addition to the vehicle mounting inner side edge portion of the circumferential main groove.
In this way, the pneumatic tire according to additional aspect 1-1 of the present disclosure can suppress a decrease in rigidity and can efficiently improve drainage when viewed as a tread surface as a whole, by providing the circumferential main groove, of the plurality of circumferential main grooves, in which the chamfer portions are formed on both sides of the vehicle mounting, as the circumferential main groove that is preferentially disposed at the position nearest to the vehicle mounting.
Therefore, the pneumatic tire of the additional aspect 1-1 of the present disclosure can further improve the wet handling stability.
Additional modes 1-2
Fig. 3 is an enlarged view of a portion shown by X in fig. 1.
As shown in fig. 3, in the pneumatic tire according to the additional aspect 1-2 of the present disclosure, in the additional aspect 1-1, the chamfer width of the vehicle-mounted inside chamfer portion 111 is set to W AI And the chamfer width of the vehicle-mounted outside chamfer portion 112 is set to W AO In this case, the following expression (1) is satisfied.
W AO <W AI (1)
At the time of vehicle steering or the like, a relatively large stress is applied to the land portion including the side wall on the vehicle mounting side with respect to the land portion including the side wall on the vehicle mounting side of the both side walls of the circumferential main groove. Therefore, it is preferable that the rigidity of the land portion on the vehicle mounting outer side among the land portions on both sides of the circumferential main groove is preferentially increased over the rigidity of the land portion on the vehicle mounting inner side. In the pneumatic tire of the additional aspect 1-2 of the present disclosure, the rigidity of the land portion on the vehicle-mounting outer side of the circumferential main groove is preferentially improved by making the chamfer width of the vehicle-mounting outer side chamfer portion smaller than the chamfer width of the vehicle-mounting inner side chamfer portion.
Therefore, the pneumatic tire of the additional aspect 1-2 of the present disclosure can achieve the effect of the additional aspect 1-1 and efficiently improve the land rigidity, and further can further improve the wet steering stability and the dry steering stability.
Further, it is preferable that the chamfer width W of the vehicle-mounted inside chamfer portion AI Chamfer width W of the outer chamfer part mounted on the vehicle AO Ratio W of (2) AI /W AO Greater than 1.3 and less than 3.0.W (W) AI /W AO May exceed 1.3, be 1.5 or more, 1.7 or more, or 1.9 or more, and may be less than 3.0, be 2.8 or less, 2.6 or less, or 2.4 or less.

Here, the groove width of the 1 st circumferential main groove 210 is larger than the groove width of the 3 rd circumferential main groove 230. In addition, the 2 nd circumferential main groove 22 0 is arranged such that the groove area of the vehicle-mounted inner portion with respect to the tire equatorial plane CL is equal to the groove area of the vehicle-mounted outer portion with respect to the tire equatorial plane CL.
Accordingly, in fig. 2, the groove total area S of the circumferential main groove on the vehicle mounting inner side with respect to the tire equatorial plane CL SI Total groove area S of circumferential main grooves on the outer side of the vehicle mounting with respect to tire equatorial plane CL SO Large.
As described above, the drainage is preferentially improved on the vehicle-mounted inside, and the rigidity is preferentially improved on the vehicle-mounted outside, so that the dry steering stability and the wet steering stability are efficiently improved.

0.05<d CI /d G <0.40 (3)
In the pneumatic tires of additional modes 1 to 6 of the present disclosure, d CI /d G Less than 0.30. Therefore, the land portion located at the vehicle-mounted inner side of the circumferential main groove can further secure the volume, and therefore, with respect to the land portion, more excellent rigidity can be achieved. On the other hand, d CI /d G Greater than 0.05. Therefore, the chamfer is not excessively reduced, and the drainage is reliably improved.

FIG. 5 is A of the 1 st circumferential main groove 210 of FIG. 2 21 -A 22 A cross-sectional view.
As shown in fig. 5, in the pneumatic tire according to any one of the basic mode 1 and the additional modes 1 to 6 of the present disclosure, in the tire meridian cross-sectional view, an inclination angle of the vehicle-mounted inner side groove wall 210a of the 1 st circumferential main groove 210 with respect to the tire radial direction R is set to θ with respect to at least a circumferential main groove (1 st circumferential main groove 210 in fig. 5) disposed at a position most inside the vehicle mounting among the plurality of circumferential main grooves GI And the inclination angle of the vehicle-mounted outside groove wall 210b of the circumferential main groove 210 with respect to the tire radial direction is set to θ GO In this case, the following expression (4) is satisfied.

That is, when it is assumed that the same tire width direction opposite direction and the same degree of stress is applied to Liu Bushi located on both sides of the groove 210,it can be said that the land portions located on the vehicle-mounted outer side with respect to the groove 210 are more difficult to wear from the shape of both land portions, and have higher rigidity. That is, this configuration corresponds to the above-described knowledge that the rigidity is preferably improved on the vehicle-mounted outer side.
In addition, when the groove center line of the 1 st circumferential main groove 210 is taken as a reference, the groove volume on the vehicle installation inner side is larger than the groove volume on the vehicle installation outer side. This configuration also corresponds to the above-described knowledge that it is preferable to improve drainage on the vehicle-mounted inner side.
Accordingly, the pneumatic tires of additional modes 1 to 7 of the present disclosure can further improve the wet steering stability and the dry steering stability.

In addition, FIG. 8 is a D of the 4 th inclined groove 270 of FIG. 2 21 -D 22 A cross-sectional view.
As shown in fig. 6 and 7, in other examples of the pneumatic tires according to additional aspects 1 to 7 of the present disclosure, θ can be satisfied even in the 2 nd and 3 rd main circumferential grooves 220 and 230 GI <θ GO . On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8, regarding the 4 th inclined groove 270, the inclination angle θ of the groove wall 1 、θ 2 May be the same.
As shown in fig. 5 to 7, θ GI θ GO It is preferable to sequentially increase the number of the 1 st circumferential main groove 210, the 2 nd circumferential main groove 220, and the 3 rd circumferential main groove 230, respectively. This is because the inner side is particularly required to have improved drainage properties as compared with the outer side of the tire mounted on the vehicle.

Additional modes 1 to 8
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the pneumatic tire of the present disclosure of additional embodiments 1 to 8 has, in any one of basic embodiment 1 and additional embodiments 1 to 7, a 1 st inclined groove 130 (reference numeral 230 in fig. 2), a 2 nd inclined groove 140 (reference numeral 240 in fig. 2), a 3 rd inclined groove 150 (reference numeral 250 in fig. 2), a 4 th inclined groove 160 (reference numeral 260 in fig. 2), and a 5 th inclined groove 170 (reference numeral 270 in fig. 2).
As representatively illustrated in fig. 1, the 1 st inclined groove 130 extends from the 1 st circumferential main groove 110, which is a circumferential main groove disposed at a position closest to the vehicle mounting inner side, among the plurality of circumferential main grooves, to each side of the vehicle mounting, and extends in the vehicle mounting outer side direction W O The terminal end portion of (2) terminates in a land portion adjacent to the vehicle-mounting outside of the 1 st circumferential main groove 110, and the vehicle-mounting inside direction W I The terminal end portion of (c) terminates in a land portion adjacent to the vehicle-mounting inner side of the 1 st circumferential main groove 110.
The 2 nd inclined groove 140 extends outward from the vehicle-mounted side from the 2 nd circumferential main groove 120, which is arranged at the position closest to the vehicle-mounted side, among the plurality of circumferential main grooves, in the vehicle-mounted side direction W O The terminal end portion of (2) terminates in a land portion adjacent to the vehicle-mounting outside of the 2 nd circumferential main groove 120, and the vehicle-mounting inside direction W I Is in communication with and terminates in the 2 nd circumferential main groove 120.
The 3 rd inclined groove 150 is disposed such that both ends thereof terminate in land portions adjacent to the vehicle-mounting inner side of the 1 st circumferential main groove 110.
The 4 th inclined groove 160 is disposed such that both ends thereof terminate in land portions adjacent to the vehicle-mounted outer side of the 2 nd circumferential main groove 120.
As described above, the pneumatic tires of the present disclosure according to additional embodiments 1 to 8 have 2 inclined grooves on the vehicle-mounted inner side and the vehicle-mounted outer side, respectively, and thus have high water drainage properties. In particular, since the 1 st inclined groove and the 2 nd inclined groove are connected to the circumferential main groove, it is easy to drain the water flowing into the circumferential main groove to the inside and outside of the vehicle installation, respectively. The vehicle-mounted inner side and outer side discharged through the 1 st inclined groove and the 2 nd inclined groove further flow into the 3 rd inclined groove and the 4 th inclined groove, respectively, and are easily discharged to the outer side of the tire along these inclined grooves. Therefore, the pneumatic tire of the present disclosure of additional aspect 8 has higher drainage property.
Additional modes 1 to 9
As shown in fig. 1, the pneumatic tire of the present disclosure of additional embodiments 1 to 9 has, in additional embodiments 1 to 8, a 5 th inclined groove 170, the 5 th inclined groove 170 being disposed such that both ends thereof terminate in land portions adjacent to the vehicle mounting outer side of a 2 nd circumferential main groove 120 disposed at a position closest to the vehicle mounting outer side among a plurality of circumferential main grooves (2 in fig. 1), and the length of the 5 th inclined groove 170 being shorter than the length of the 4 th inclined groove 160.
In this way, the pneumatic tires of the present disclosure according to additional embodiments 1 to 9 further improve the drainage performance with respect to additional embodiment 8 by having the 5 th inclined groove 170 described above. Further, since the length of the 5 th inclined groove 170 is shorter than the length of the 4 th inclined groove 160, the drop in the block rigidity of the land portion due to the arrangement of the 5 th inclined groove 170 is small.
Therefore, the pneumatic tires of the present disclosure of additional modes 1 to 9 suppress a decrease in block rigidity and have higher drainage properties than those of additional modes 1 to 8.
Additional modes 1 to 10
As shown in fig. 1, in the pneumatic tires of the present disclosure of additional embodiments 1 to 10, in additional embodiments 1 to 9, the 3 rd inclined groove 150 and the 4 th inclined groove 160 respectively span the ground contact end E in the tire width direction W I E and E O Extends to ground and the 5 th inclined groove 170 is at a position lower than the ground E O Terminating at a position on the tire equatorial plane CL side.
In the pneumatic tires of the present disclosure of additional modes 1 to 10, the 3 rd inclined groove 150 and the 4 th inclined groove 160 respectively span the ground contact end E I E and E O Extending in the ground, thereby making it easier to drain water from the inner side direction to the outer side direction of the tire. Therefore, the pneumatic tire of the present disclosure according to the additional aspect 9 has higher drainage performance. In addition, since the 5 th inclined groove 170 is at the specific ground E O Since the tire ends at the tire equatorial plane CL side, the drop in the block rigidity of the land portion due to the arrangement of the 5 th inclined groove 170 can be further suppressed.
Accordingly, the pneumatic tires of the present disclosure of additional modes 1 to 10 suppress a decrease in block rigidity and have higher drainage properties relative to additional modes 1 to 9.
Additional modes 1 to 11
As shown in fig. 1, in the pneumatic tire of the present disclosure of the additional embodiments 1 to 11, in the additional embodiments 1 to 9 or 1 to 10, the orientation of the acute angle formed by each of the 2 nd inclined groove 140, the 3 rd inclined groove 150, and the 4 th inclined groove 160 with respect to the tire width direction W is equal to the orientation of the acute angle formed by the 1 st inclined groove 130 with respect to the tire width direction W. The direction of the acute angle formed by the 5 th inclined groove 170 and the tire width direction W is different from the direction of the acute angle formed by the 1 st inclined groove 130 and the tire width direction W.
In the pneumatic tires of the present disclosure of additional modes 1 to 11, the orientation of the acute angle formed by the 5 th inclined groove 170 and the tire width direction W is different from the orientation of the acute angle formed by each of the 1 st inclined groove 130, the 2 nd inclined groove 140, the 3 rd inclined groove 150, and the 4 th inclined groove 160 and the tire width direction W, and therefore, in one rotational direction of the pneumatic tire, the 1 st inclined groove 130, the 2 nd inclined groove 140, the 3 rd inclined groove 150, and the 4 th inclined groove 160 can be utilized to particularly improve the water discharge property, and in the other rotational direction of the pneumatic tire, some of the water discharge property can be improved by utilizing the 5 th inclined groove having a small length.
In general, when a vehicle is traveling forward, a particularly high drainage property is required for a pneumatic tire because the traveling speed of the vehicle is high. On the other hand, when the vehicle is backing up, the running speed of the vehicle is generally not high, and therefore the drainage property required for the pneumatic tire is smaller than when the vehicle is advancing.
The pneumatic tires of the present disclosure of additional embodiments 1 to 11 also depend on the mounting orientation of the tire with respect to the traveling direction of the vehicle, but the drainage is improved by the 1 st inclined groove 130, the 2 nd inclined groove 140, the 3 rd inclined groove 150, and the 4 th inclined groove 160, for example, when the vehicle is advancing, and the drainage can also be improved by the 5 th inclined groove 170 when the rotation direction of the tire becomes opposite, that is, when the vehicle is backing, for example. Further, since the length of the 5 th inclined groove 170 is shorter than the length of the 4 th inclined groove 160, the drainage is smaller than the 4 th inclined groove 160, but the degree of decrease in the block rigidity of the land portion due to the installation of the 5 th inclined groove 170 is small. Therefore, both the drainage and the block rigidity at the time of forward and backward movement of the vehicle can be achieved.
Additional modes 1-12
As shown in fig. 2, in the pneumatic tire of the present disclosure according to any one of additional embodiments 1 to 12, in any one of additional embodiments 1 to 8 to 1 to 10, the orientation of the acute angle formed by each of the 2 nd inclined groove 140 and the 4 th inclined groove 160 with respect to the tire width direction W is equal to the orientation of the acute angle formed by each of the 1 st inclined groove 130 with respect to the tire width direction W, and the orientation of the acute angle formed by each of the 3 rd inclined groove 150 with respect to the tire width direction W is different from the orientation of the acute angle formed by each of the 1 st inclined groove 130 with respect to the tire width direction W.
The pneumatic tires of the present disclosure of additional modes 1 to 12 also depend on the mounting orientation of the tire with respect to the traveling direction of the vehicle, but the drainage is improved by the 1 st inclined groove 130, the 2 nd inclined groove 140, and the 4 th inclined groove 160, for example, when the vehicle is advancing, and the drainage is improved by the 3 rd inclined groove 150, for example, when the rotation direction of the tire becomes opposite, that is, when the vehicle is backing, for example. Since the 3 rd inclined groove 150 is disposed on the vehicle-mounted inner side, particularly, drainage of the vehicle-mounted inner side during the reverse operation can be improved.
When the tire is mounted on the vehicle and the equatorial direction of the tire is inclined from the direction perpendicular to the ground toward the vehicle inside, the ground contact area of the tire is slightly larger on the vehicle-mounted inside than on the vehicle-direction outside. Therefore, in such a case, by applying the pneumatic tire of the present disclosure of the additional aspect 12, the wet steering stability at the time of, for example, the backward movement can be particularly improved.
Additional modes 1-13
As shown in fig. 1, the pneumatic tire of the present disclosure of additional modes 1 to 13 is any one of additional modes 1 to 8 to 1 to 12, in the tire circumferential direction, the terminal portion on the vehicle-mounting outside of the 3 rd inclined groove 150 terminates between the vehicle-mounting inside ends of the two 1 st inclined grooves 130 adjacent to each other, and/or the terminal portion on the vehicle-mounting inside of the 4 th inclined groove 160 terminates between the vehicle-mounting outside ends of the two 2 nd inclined grooves 140 adjacent to each other.
The pneumatic tires of the present disclosure according to additional embodiments 1 to 13 are configured as described above, and thus the pneumatic tires flowing from the 1 st circumferential main groove 110 and the 2 nd circumferential main groove 120 into the 1 st inclined groove 130 and the 2 nd inclined groove 120 are efficiently collected by the 3 rd inclined groove 150 and the 4 th inclined groove 160, respectively, and are easily discharged to the outside of the tire. From such a viewpoint, in the tire width direction W, it is more preferable that the vehicle-mounted outside terminal portion of the 3 rd inclined groove 150 ends between the vehicle-mounted inside terminal portions of the two 1 st inclined grooves 130 adjacent to each other. Likewise, in the tire width direction W, it is more preferable that the terminal end portion on the vehicle mounting inner side of the 4 th inclined groove 160 ends between the terminal end portions on the vehicle mounting outer sides of the two 2 nd inclined grooves 140 adjacent to each other.
Additional modes 1 to 14
As shown in fig. 1, in the pneumatic tire of the present disclosure according to any one of the additional modes 1 to 14, the 1 st inclined groove 130 extends toward each side of the vehicle mounting so as to connect a portion protruding toward the vehicle mounting inside and a portion recessed toward the vehicle mounting outside in the 1 st circumferential main groove 110 disposed at a position closest to the vehicle mounting inside among the plurality of circumferential main grooves.
In the pneumatic tires of the present disclosure of additional modes 1 to 14, the 1 st inclined groove 130 extends from a portion of the 1 st circumferential main groove 110 that protrudes toward the vehicle-mounted inner side. Therefore, the length of the portion of the 1 st inclined groove 130 on the vehicle-mounted inner side than the 1 st circumferential main groove 110 can be made shorter than that of the portion extending from the portion recessed toward the vehicle-mounted inner side. Thus, the drainage of the 1 st inclined groove 130 can be improved at the portion on the vehicle-mounted inner side than the 1 st circumferential main groove 120, and the drop in the block rigidity of the land portion at the portion on the vehicle-mounted inner side than the 1 st circumferential main groove 120 can be suppressed. On the other hand, since the 1 st inclined groove 130 extends from the portion of the 1 st circumferential main groove 120 recessed toward the vehicle mounting outside, the portion of the 1 st inclined groove 120 on the vehicle mounting outside than the 1 st circumferential main groove 110 can be made larger in length and the terminal end portion can be made farther from the tire equatorial plane CL than the case of extending from the portion recessed toward the vehicle mounting outside. This can suppress a decrease in the block rigidity of the land portion in the vicinity of the tire equatorial plane CL and improve the drainage. Further, the portion protruding toward the vehicle-mounted inside need not be a convex apex, but a convex apex is particularly preferred. Likewise, the portion recessed toward the vehicle-mounting inner side need not be a concave bottom point, but is particularly preferably a concave bottom point.

The pneumatic tires of the present disclosure according to additional embodiments 1 to 15 are configured as described above, so that the length of the groove of the portion of the 2 nd inclined groove 140 on the vehicle-mounted outer side than the 2 nd circumferential main groove 140 is shorter than that of the portion extending from the portion recessed toward the vehicle-mounted inner side. Further, by extending the 2 nd inclined groove 140 from a portion of the 2 nd circumferential main groove 140 that protrudes to the vehicle mounting outside, the water flowing in the 2 nd circumferential main groove 120 easily flows into the 2 nd inclined groove 140. Thus, the drainage of the 2 nd inclined groove 140 can be improved at the portion outside the 2 nd circumferential main groove 120 where the vehicle is mounted, and the drop in the block rigidity of the land portion at the portion outside the 2 nd circumferential main groove 120 where the vehicle is mounted can be suppressed. Further, the portion protruding to the vehicle-mounted outside need not be a convex apex, but a convex apex is particularly preferable.

On the other hand, when L IG1 /L L When the amount is less than 0.60, the drop in block rigidity of the land portion in the vicinity of the tire equatorial plane CL can be suppressed. That is, the pneumatic tire of the present disclosure according to additional aspect 16 can satisfy the above formula (5) to achieve both of the drainage property and the block rigidity particularly in the vicinity of the tire equatorial plane CL.
Here, L IG1 /L L May be more than 0.20, 0.25 or more or 0.30 or more, and may be less than 0.60, 0.55 or less, 0.50 or less, 0.45 or less, 0.40 or less, 0.35 or less, or 0.30 or less.

in the case where the above formula (6) is satisfied, the vehicle-mounting outside direction W of the 2 nd inclined groove 140 O The terminal end portions of (2) terminate near the center of the two 4 th inclined grooves 160 adjacent in the tire circumferential direction. This allows water to be more efficiently transferred between the 2 nd inclined groove 140 and the 4 th inclined groove 160.
Here, L G2G4 /L G4G4 May be more than 0.40, 0.43 or more than 0.45, or less than 0.60, 0.58 or less than 0.55.

L IG1 <L IG2 (12)
Referring to fig. 1, in the pneumatic tire of the present disclosure of additional modes 1 to 20, the 1 st inclined groove 130 satisfies L IG1 <L IG2 Therefore, the drainage property from the circumferential main groove 110 to both sides in the tire width direction of the circumferential main groove via the 1 st inclined groove can be made in the tire mounting inner direction W I I.e., toward the widthwise outer side of the tire. As a result, the drainage from the circumferential main groove 110 to the outer side in the tire width direction can be particularly improved when viewed as a tire as a whole, and the rigidity to the inner side in the tire width direction can be improved.

Basic mode 2
As shown in fig. 1 (and fig. 2), the pneumatic tire of the present disclosure of basic mode 2 is a pneumatic tire as follows: is assigned to the mounting direction with respect to the vehicle, and is provided with a plurality of circumferential main grooves 110 and 120 (210, 220, and 230 in fig. 2), a 1 st inclined groove 130 (240 in fig. 2), and a 2 nd inclined groove 140 (250 in fig. 2) on the tread surface of the tread portion.
In addition, in the tire plan view, the groove center lines of the circumferential main grooves 110 and 120 (210, 220, and 230 in fig. 2) are periodically shifted in the tire width direction as they progress in the tire circumferential direction. Further, the 1 st inclined groove 130 (240 in fig. 2) extends from the circumferential main groove 110 (210 in fig. 2) located at the position closest to the vehicle mounting inner side among the plurality of circumferential main grooves to each side of the vehicle mounting, and the 2 nd inclined groove 140 (250 in fig. 2) extends from the circumferential main groove 120 (230 in fig. 2) located at the position closest to the vehicle mounting outer side among the plurality of circumferential main grooves to the vehicle mounting outer side.
As described with reference to fig. 1, in the pneumatic tire of the present disclosure of basic mode 2, since the 1 st inclined groove 130 extends from the circumferential main groove 110 to each side where the vehicle is mounted, there is an inclined groove in the land portions adjacent to both sides in the tire width direction of the circumferential main groove 110. This provides high drainage on the vehicle-mounted inner side. On the other hand, since the 2 nd inclined groove 140 extends to the vehicle mounting outside from the circumferential main groove 120, there is an inclined groove in the land portion adjacent to the tire mounting outside of the circumferential main groove 120. Thus, the rigidity of the land portion on the inner side in the tire width direction adjacent to the circumferential main groove 120 is high. Accordingly, the pneumatic tire of the present disclosure of the basic mode 2 has high drainage property on the inner side in the tire width direction and high rigidity on the outer side in the tire width direction, and therefore can ensure high drainage property and can improve the rigidity of the tire. The same applies to fig. 2.
Unlike the pneumatic tire of the present disclosure of the basic mode 1 and the additional modes thereof described above, the pneumatic tire of the present disclosure of the basic mode 2 is not necessarily configured to have a chamfer of the circumferential main groove. However, the chamfer angle possessed by the pneumatic tire of the present disclosure having the above-described basic mode 1 and its additional modes can bring about further improvement in the wet steering stability and dry steering stability of the pneumatic tire of the present disclosure of the basic mode 2.
Additional modes 2-1

As described with reference to fig. 1, in the pneumatic tire of the present disclosure of additional embodiment 2-1, the 1 st inclined groove 130 ends in land portions adjacent to both sides in the tire direction of the circumferential main groove 110, and therefore, it is possible to maintain drainage and improve rigidity of the land portions. The same applies to fig. 2.

Further, the communication and termination means that the end of the 2 nd inclined groove 140 (250 in fig. 2) merges with and terminates with the circumferential main groove 120 (230 in fig. 2), and there is no land portion extending to the opposite side of the circumferential main groove 120 (230 in fig. 2).
As described with reference to fig. 1, in the pneumatic tire of the present disclosure of additional aspect 2-2, the 2 nd inclined groove 140 terminates in the land portion adjacent to the vehicle-mounted outside of the circumferential main groove 120 at one end portion and communicates with and terminates in the circumferential main groove 120 at the other end portion, so that it is possible to maintain the drainage property and improve the rigidity of the land portion. The same applies to fig. 2.
Additional modes 2-3

L IG1 <L IG2 (13)
Referring to fig. 1, description is made of the 1 st inclined groove 130 satisfying L in the pneumatic tire of the present disclosure of additional modes 2 to 3 IG1 <L IG2 Therefore, the drainage property from the circumferential main groove 110 to both sides in the tire width direction of the circumferential main groove via the 1 st inclined groove can be made in the tire mounting inner direction W I I.e., toward the widthwise outer side of the tire. As a result, the drainage from the circumferential main groove 110 to the outer side in the tire width direction can be particularly improved when viewed as a tire as a whole, and the rigidity to the inner side in the tire width direction can be improved.
Here, L IG1 /L IG2 Particularly preferably from 0.20 to 0.40. L (L) IG1 /L IG2 May be 0.20 or more, 0.25 or more, or 0.30 or more, and may be 0.40 or less, 0.35 or less, or 0.30 or less.
Additional modes 2-4

Referring to fig. 1, in the pneumatic tire of the present disclosure of the additional aspect 25, the 1 st inclined groove 130 extends from a portion of the 1 st circumferential main groove 110 protruding toward the vehicle-mounted inner side. Therefore, the length of the portion of the 1 st inclined groove 130 on the vehicle-mounted inner side than the 1 st circumferential main groove 110 can be made shorter than that of the portion extending from the portion recessed toward the vehicle-mounted inner side. Thus, the drainage of the 1 st inclined groove 130 can be improved at the portion on the vehicle-mounted inner side than the 1 st circumferential main groove 120, and the drop in the block rigidity of the land portion at the portion on the vehicle-mounted inner side than the 1 st circumferential main groove 120 can be suppressed. On the other hand, since the 1 st inclined groove 130 extends from the portion of the 1 st circumferential main groove 120 recessed toward the vehicle mounting outside, the portion of the 1 st inclined groove 120 on the vehicle mounting outside than the 1 st circumferential main groove 110 can be made larger in length and the terminal end portion can be made farther from the tire equatorial plane CL than the case of extending from the portion recessed toward the vehicle mounting outside. This can suppress a decrease in the block rigidity of the land portion in the vicinity of the tire equatorial plane CL and improve the drainage. The same applies to fig. 2. Further, the portion protruding toward the vehicle-mounted inside need not be a convex apex, but a convex apex is particularly preferred. Likewise, the portion recessed toward the vehicle-mounting inner side need not be a concave bottom point, but is particularly preferably a concave bottom point.

according to FIG. 1, when L IG1 /L L If the water drainage is greater than 0.20, the water drainage can be particularly improved at the land portion adjacent to the vehicle-mounted outer side of the 1 st circumferential main groove 110, that is, the land portion in the vicinity of the tire equatorial plane CL. On the other hand, when L IG1 /L L When the amount is less than 0.60, the drop in block rigidity of the land portion in the vicinity of the tire equatorial plane CL can be suppressed. That is, the pneumatic tires of the present disclosure according to additional embodiments 2 to 5 can satisfy the above formula (13) to achieve both of the drainage property and the block rigidity in the vicinity of the tire equatorial plane CL. The same applies to fig. 2.
Here, L IG1 /L L May be more than 0.20, 0.25 or more or 0.30 or more, and may be less than 0.60, 0.55 or less, 0.50 or less, 0.45 or less, 0.40 or less, 0.35 or less, or 0.30 or less.

As shown in fig. 1 (and fig. 2), in any one of the basic mode 2 and the additional modes 2-1 to 2-5, in the tire meridian cross-sectional view, the maximum value of the tire radial length from the tire surface profile to the 1 st circumferential main groove 110 (210 in fig. 2) of the plurality of circumferential main grooves, which is arranged at the position nearest to the vehicle mounting inner side, of the groove bottom of the 1 st circumferential main groove 110 (210 in fig. 2) in the plurality of circumferential main grooves without the circumferential main grooves 110, 120 (210, 220, and 230 in fig. 2) and the respective inclined grooves 130, 140, 150, 160, and 170 (240, 250, 260, and 270 in fig. 2) is set as d G1 And the tire surface is contoured to the vehicle-mounted outside direction W from the 1 st circumferential main groove 110 (210 in fig. 2) of the 1 st inclined groove 130 (240 in fig. 2) that is disposed at the position most inward of the vehicle mounting among the plurality of circumferential main grooves O Part of (2)The maximum value of the radial length of the tire at the groove bottom at the position is d IG1’ The tire surface is contoured to a vehicle-mounted inside direction W from the 1 st circumferential main groove 110 (210 in fig. 2) of the 1 st inclined groove 130 (240 in fig. 2) that is disposed at a position closest to the vehicle-mounted inside among the plurality of circumferential main grooves I The maximum value of the tire radial length of the groove bottom at the part of (2) is d IG1” When the following formula (15) is satisfied:
d IG1’ <d IG1” <d G1 (15)
the pneumatic tire of the present disclosure of additional modes 2 to 6 is explained with reference to fig. 1 by setting d IG1’ <d IG1” The drainage of the 1 st inclined groove 130 can be improved, and the land portion near the tire equatorial plane CL can be made shallower, so that the drop in the block rigidity of the land portion near the tire equatorial plane CL can be suppressed in particular. The same applies to fig. 2.
Additional modes 2-7
As shown in fig. 1 (and fig. 2), in the pneumatic tire of the present disclosure of the additional aspect 2-7, in any one of the basic aspect 2 and the additional aspects 2-1 to 2-6, the terminal portion on the vehicle mounting inner side of the 2 nd inclined groove 140 (250 in fig. 2) communicates with the portion protruding toward the vehicle mounting outer side of the 2 nd circumferential main groove 120 (220 in fig. 2) arranged at the position closest to the vehicle mounting outer side among the plurality of circumferential main grooves.
As described with reference to fig. 1, the pneumatic tire of the present disclosure according to additional embodiments 2 to 7 can be configured as described above, so that the length of the groove in the portion of the 2 nd inclined groove 140 on the vehicle-mounted outer side than the 2 nd circumferential main groove 140 can be made shorter than in the case of extending from the portion recessed toward the vehicle-mounted inner side. Further, by extending the 2 nd inclined groove 140 from a portion of the 2 nd circumferential main groove 140 that protrudes to the vehicle mounting outside, the water flowing in the 2 nd circumferential main groove 120 easily flows into the 2 nd inclined groove 140. Thus, the drainage of the 2 nd inclined groove 140 can be improved at the portion outside the 2 nd circumferential main groove 120 where the vehicle is mounted, and the drop in the block rigidity of the land portion at the portion outside the 2 nd circumferential main groove 120 where the vehicle is mounted can be suppressed. The same applies to fig. 2. Further, the portion protruding toward the vehicle-mounted inside need not be a convex apex, but a convex apex is particularly preferred.
Additional modes 2-8
As shown in fig. 1 (and fig. 2), the pneumatic tire of the present disclosure of additional modes 2 to 8 has, in any one of basic mode 2 and additional modes 2-1 to 2-7, a 1 st inclined groove 130 (reference numeral 230 in fig. 2), a 2 nd inclined groove 140 (reference numeral 240 in fig. 2), a 3 rd inclined groove 150 (reference numeral 250 in fig. 2), a 4 th inclined groove 160 (reference numeral 260 in fig. 2), and a 5 th inclined groove 170 (reference numeral 270 in fig. 2).
Referring to fig. 1, the 1 st inclined groove 130 extends from the 1 st circumferential main groove 110, which is the circumferential main groove disposed at the position closest to the vehicle mounting inner side, out of the plurality of circumferential main grooves, to each side of the vehicle mounting, and extends in the vehicle mounting outer side direction W O The terminal end portion of (2) terminates in a land portion adjacent to the vehicle-mounting outside of the 1 st circumferential main groove 110, and the vehicle-mounting inside direction W I The terminal end portion of (c) terminates in a land portion adjacent to the vehicle-mounting inner side of the 1 st circumferential main groove 110.
The 2 nd inclined groove 140 extends outward from the vehicle-mounted side from the 2 nd circumferential main groove 120, which is arranged at the position closest to the vehicle-mounted side, among the plurality of circumferential main grooves, in the vehicle-mounted side direction W O The terminal end portion of (2) terminates in a land portion adjacent to the vehicle-mounting outside of the 2 nd circumferential main groove 120, and the vehicle-mounting inside direction W I Is in communication with and terminates in the 2 nd circumferential main groove 120.
The 3 rd inclined groove 150 is disposed such that both ends thereof terminate in land portions adjacent to the vehicle-mounting inner side of the 1 st circumferential main groove 110.
The 4 th inclined groove 160 is disposed such that both ends thereof terminate in land portions adjacent to the vehicle-mounted outer side of the 2 nd circumferential main groove 120.
As described above, the pneumatic tires of the present disclosure according to additional embodiments 2 to 8 have 2 inclined grooves on the vehicle-mounted inner side and the vehicle-mounted outer side, respectively, and thus have high water drainage properties. In particular, since the 1 st inclined groove and the 2 nd inclined groove are connected to the circumferential main groove, it is easy to drain the water flowing into the circumferential main groove to the inside and outside of the vehicle installation, respectively. The 3 rd inclined groove and the 4 th inclined groove, which are respectively discharged to the inside and the outside of the vehicle installation through the 1 st inclined groove and the 2 nd inclined groove, are further flown into the tire, and are easily discharged to the outside of the tire along these inclined grooves. Accordingly, the pneumatic tires of the present disclosure of additional modes 2 to 8 have higher drainage properties.
Additional modes 2-9
As shown in fig. 1, the pneumatic tire of the present disclosure of additional embodiments 2 to 9 has, in additional embodiments 2 to 8, a 5 th inclined groove 170, the 5 th inclined groove 170 being disposed such that both ends thereof terminate in land portions adjacent to the vehicle mounting outer side of a 2 nd circumferential main groove 120 disposed at a position closest to the vehicle mounting outer side among a plurality of circumferential main grooves (2 in fig. 1), and the length of the 5 th inclined groove 170 being shorter than the length of the 4 th inclined groove 160.
In this way, the pneumatic tires of the present disclosure according to additional embodiments 2 to 9 further improve the drainage performance with respect to the additional embodiment 8 by having the 5 th inclined groove 170 described above. Further, since the length of the 5 th inclined groove 170 is shorter than the length of the 4 th inclined groove 160, the drop in the block rigidity of the land portion due to the arrangement of the 5 th inclined groove 170 is small.
Therefore, the pneumatic tire of the present disclosure of additional modes 2 to 9 suppresses a decrease in block rigidity, and has higher drainage properties than those of additional modes 2 to 8.
Additional modes 2-10
As shown in fig. 1, in the pneumatic tires of the present disclosure of additional embodiments 2 to 10, in additional embodiments 2 to 9, the 3 rd inclined groove 150 and the 4 th inclined groove 160 respectively span the ground contact end E in the tire width direction W I E and E O Extends to ground and the 5 th inclined groove 170 is at a position lower than the ground E O Terminating at a position on the tire equatorial plane CL side.
The pneumatic tires of the present disclosure of additional modes 2 to 10 are manufactured by crossing the 3 rd inclined groove 150 and the 4 th inclined groove 160 respectively over the ground contact end E I E and E O Extending so as to drain water more easily from the inner side direction to the outer side direction of the tire. Accordingly, the present disclosure is charged with respect to the additional mode 9Pneumatic tires have higher drainage properties. In addition, since the 5 th inclined groove 170 is at the specific ground E O Since the tire ends at the tire equatorial plane CL side, the drop in the block rigidity of the land portion due to the arrangement of the 5 th inclined groove 170 can be further suppressed.
Accordingly, the pneumatic tires of the present disclosure of additional modes 2 to 10 suppress a decrease in block rigidity and have higher drainage properties relative to additional modes 2 to 9.
Additional modes 2-11
As shown in fig. 1, in the pneumatic tire of the present disclosure of the additional embodiment 2 to 11, in the additional embodiment 2 to 9 or 2 to 10, the orientation of the acute angle formed by each of the 2 nd inclined groove 140, the 3 rd inclined groove 150, and the 4 th inclined groove 160 with respect to the tire width direction W is equal to the orientation of the acute angle formed by the 1 st inclined groove 130 with respect to the tire width direction W. The direction of the acute angle formed by the 5 th inclined groove 170 and the tire width direction W is different from the direction of the acute angle formed by the 1 st inclined groove 130 and the tire width direction W.
In the pneumatic tires of the present disclosure of additional modes 2 to 11, the orientation of the acute angle formed by the 5 th inclined groove 170 and the tire width direction W is different from the orientation of the acute angle formed by each of the 1 st inclined groove 130, the 2 nd inclined groove 140, the 3 rd inclined groove 150, and the 4 th inclined groove 160 and the tire width direction W, and therefore, in one rotational direction of the pneumatic tire, the 1 st inclined groove 130, the 2 nd inclined groove 140, the 3 rd inclined groove 150, and the 4 th inclined groove 160 can be utilized to particularly improve the water discharge property, and in the other rotational direction of the pneumatic tire, some of the water discharge property can be improved by utilizing the 5 th inclined groove having a small length.
In general, when a vehicle is traveling forward, a particularly high drainage property is required for a pneumatic tire because the traveling speed of the vehicle is high. On the other hand, when the vehicle is backing up, the running speed of the vehicle is generally not high, and therefore the drainage property required for the pneumatic tire is smaller than when the vehicle is advancing.
Although the pneumatic tires of the present disclosure of additional modes 2 to 11 also depend on the mounting orientation of the tire with respect to the traveling direction of the vehicle, for example, the 1 st inclined groove 130, the 2 nd inclined groove 140, the 3 rd inclined groove 150, and the 4 th inclined groove 160 are utilized to improve the drainage property when the vehicle is advancing, and the 5 th inclined groove 170 is also utilized to improve the drainage property when the rotation direction of the tire becomes opposite, that is, when the vehicle is backing, for example. Further, since the length of the 5 th inclined groove 170 is shorter than the length of the 4 th inclined groove 160, the drainage of the 5 th inclined groove 170 is smaller than that of the 4 th inclined groove 160, but the degree of decrease in the block rigidity of the land portion due to the provision of the 5 th inclined groove 170 is small. Therefore, both the drainage and the block rigidity at the time of forward and backward movement of the vehicle can be achieved.
Additional modes 2-12
As shown in fig. 2, in the pneumatic tire of the present disclosure according to any one of additional embodiments 2 to 12, 2-8 to 2-10, the orientation of the acute angle formed by each of the 2 nd inclined groove 140 and the 4 th inclined groove 160 with respect to the tire width direction W is equal to the orientation of the acute angle formed by each of the 1 st inclined groove 130 with respect to the tire width direction W, and the orientation of the acute angle formed by each of the 3 rd inclined groove 150 with respect to the tire width direction W is different from the orientation of the acute angle formed by each of the 1 st inclined groove 130 with respect to the tire width direction W.
The pneumatic tires of the present disclosure of additional modes 2 to 12 also depend on the mounting orientation of the tire with respect to the traveling direction of the vehicle, but the drainage can be improved by the 1 st inclined groove 130, the 2 nd inclined groove 140, and the 4 th inclined groove 160, for example, when the vehicle is advancing, and the drainage can be improved by the 3 rd inclined groove 150, for example, when the rotation direction of the tire becomes opposite, that is, when the vehicle is backing, for example. Since the 3 rd inclined groove 150 is disposed on the vehicle-mounted inner side, particularly, drainage of the vehicle-mounted inner side during the reverse operation can be improved.
When the equatorial direction of the tire is inclined from the direction perpendicular to the ground to the vehicle inside direction in a state where the tire is mounted on the vehicle, the ground contact area of the tire is slightly larger on the vehicle mounting inside than on the vehicle direction outside. Therefore, in such a case, by applying the pneumatic tire of the present disclosure of the additional aspect 12, the wet steering stability at the time of, for example, the backward movement can be particularly improved.
Additional modes 2-13
As shown in fig. 1 (and fig. 2), the pneumatic tire of the present disclosure of additional modes 2-13 is in any one of additional modes 2-8 to 2-12, in the tire circumferential direction, the terminal portion on the vehicle-mounting outside of the 3 rd inclined groove 150 (260 in fig. 2) terminates between the vehicle-mounting inside ends of the two 1 st inclined grooves 130 (140 in fig. 2) adjacent to each other, and/or the terminal portion on the vehicle-mounting inside of the 4 th inclined groove 160 (270 in fig. 2) terminates between the vehicle-mounting outside ends of the two 2 nd inclined grooves 140 (250 in fig. 2) adjacent to each other.
As described with reference to fig. 1, the pneumatic tire of the present disclosure according to additional embodiments 2 to 13 is configured as described above, and the pneumatic tire having been introduced from the 1 st circumferential main groove 110 and the 2 nd circumferential main groove 120 into the 1 st inclined groove 130 and the 2 nd inclined groove 120, respectively, is efficiently collected by the 3 rd inclined groove 150 and the 4 th inclined groove 160, respectively, and is easily discharged to the outside of the tire. From such a viewpoint, in the tire width direction W, it is more preferable that the vehicle-mounted outside terminal portion of the 3 rd inclined groove 150 ends between the vehicle-mounted inside terminal portions of the two 1 st inclined grooves 130 adjacent to each other. Likewise, in the tire width direction W, it is more preferable that the terminal end portion on the vehicle mounting inner side of the 4 th inclined groove 160 ends between the terminal end portions on the vehicle mounting outer sides of the two 2 nd inclined grooves 140 adjacent to each other.
Additional modes 2-14
As shown in fig. 1, the pneumatic tire of the present disclosure of additional modes 2-14 is in any one of additional modes 2-8 to 2-13, the vehicle-mounting outside direction W of the 2 nd inclined groove 140 O The terminal end portion of (2) terminates between two 4 th inclined grooves 160 adjacent in the tire circumferential direction. Here, the length in the tire circumferential direction from one of the two adjacent 4 th inclined grooves 160 to the other is L G4G4 And the length in the tire circumferential direction from one of the two adjacent 4 th inclined grooves 160 to the terminal end portion of the 2 nd inclined groove 140 is L G2G4 When the following formula (16) is satisfied:
0.40<L G2G4 /L G4G4 <0.60 (16)。
in the case where the above formula (15) is satisfied, the vehicle-mounting outside direction W of the 2 nd inclined groove 140 O Two adjacent terminal portions in the tire circumferential directionThe 4 th inclined groove 160 terminates near the center. This allows water to be more efficiently transferred between the 2 nd inclined groove 140 and the 4 th inclined groove 160. Furthermore, although L is not shown in FIG. 2 G4G4 L and L G2G4 But the same is true.
Here, L G2G4 /L G4G4 May be more than 0.40, 0.43 or more than 0.45, and may be less than 0.60, 0.58 or less than 0.55.
Additional modes 2-15
In the pneumatic tire of the present disclosure according to any one of additional modes 2 to 15, in any one of additional modes 2 to 8 to 2 to 14, in the tire meridian cross-sectional view, a maximum value of the tire radial length from the tire surface profile to the groove bottoms of the 1 st and 2 nd circumferential main grooves 110 and 120 in the case where there are no circumferential main grooves and each inclined groove is set as d G And the maximum value of the tire radial length from the tire surface profile to the groove bottoms of the 1 st inclined groove 130, the 2 nd inclined groove 140, the 3 rd inclined groove 150, and the 4 th inclined groove 160 is set as d, respectively IG1 、d IG2 、d IG3 D IG4 When the following formulas (17) to (20) are satisfied:
0.05<d IG1 /d G <0.85 (17)
0.05<d IG2 /d G <0.85 (18)
0.05<d IG3 /d G <0.85 (19)
0.05<d IG4 /d G <0.85 (20)。
in the pneumatic tires of the present disclosure of additional modes 2 to 15, the tire surface profile is set to the maximum value (d IG1 、d IG2 、d IG3 D IG4 ) A maximum value d of the tire radial length from the tire surface profile to the groove bottoms of the 1 st and 2 nd circumferential main grooves 110 and 120 G Is small. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the block rigidity of the tire caused by the respective inclined grooves 130, 140, 150, and 160 and to improve the drainage. Here, when 0.05 < d IG1 (or d) IG2 、d IG3 、d IG4 )/d G In this case, the 1 st inclined groove 130, the 2 nd inclined groove 140, the 3 rd inclined groove 150, and the 4 th inclined groove 160 have sufficiently large depths, and thus, particularly, the drainage property is improved. On the other hand, when d IG1 (or d) IG2 、d IG3 、d IG4 )/d G When the depth of the 1 st inclined groove 130, the 2 nd inclined groove 140, the 3 rd inclined groove 150, and the 4 th inclined groove 160 is less than 0.85, the reduction in the block rigidity can be suppressed.
Here, d IG1 (or d) IG2 、d IG3 、d IG4 )/d G May exceed 0.05, be 0.1 or more, 0.2 or more, or 0.3 or more, and may be less than 0.85, be 0.80 or less, be 0.70 or less, or be 0.60 or less.
Additional modes 2-16
The pneumatic tire of any one of additional aspects 2 to 16 of the present disclosure in the basic aspect 2 and additional aspects 2 to 1 to 2 to 15 has a groove total area of the circumferential main groove on the vehicle mounting inner side with respect to the tire equatorial plane CL as S SI And the total groove area of the circumferential main groove on the outer side of the vehicle mounting based on the tire equatorial plane is set as S SO In this case, the following expression (21) is satisfied.
S SO <S SI (21)
Here, the total groove area refers to the sum of the groove areas at predetermined areas including the chamfer portions in a plan view of the tread surface of the pneumatic tire. Accordingly, the total groove area of the circumferential main grooves on the vehicle mounting inner side with respect to the tire equatorial plane CL is, for example, the sum of the areas of the circumferential main grooves disposed on the vehicle mounting inner side than the tire equatorial plane CL, and the chamfer portions formed in these circumferential main grooves.
In fig. 1, the 1 st circumferential main groove 110 and the 2 nd circumferential main groove 120 are arranged so as to be spaced apart from each other by the tire equatorial plane CL. Here, the groove width of the 1 st circumferential main groove 110 is larger than the groove width of the 2 nd circumferential main groove 120.
Thus, in FIG. 1Total groove area S of circumferential main grooves on the vehicle mounting inner side with reference to tire equatorial plane CL SI Total groove area S of circumferential main grooves on the outer side of the vehicle mounting with respect to the tire equatorial plane SO Large.
In fig. 2, the 1 st circumferential main groove 210 and the 3 rd circumferential main groove 230 are arranged with the tire equatorial plane CL therebetween. In addition, the 2 nd circumferential main groove 220 is disposed so as to overlap with the equatorial plane CL. Here, the total groove area S of the circumferential main groove on the vehicle mounting inner side with respect to the tire equatorial plane CL SI Is the sum of the groove area of the 1 st circumferential main groove 210 and the groove area of the portion of the 2 nd circumferential main groove 220 on the vehicle-mounted inner side than the tire equatorial plane CL. In addition, a groove total area S of the circumferential main groove on the vehicle mounting outer side based on the tire equatorial plane CL SO Is the sum of the groove area of the 3 rd circumferential main groove 230 and the groove area of the portion of the 2 nd circumferential main groove 220 on the vehicle-mounted outer side than the tire equatorial plane CL. Here, the groove width of the 1 st circumferential main groove 210 is larger than the groove width of the 3 rd circumferential main groove 230. The 2 nd main circumferential groove 220 is disposed so that the groove area of the vehicle-mounted inner portion with respect to the tire equatorial plane CL is equal to the groove area of the vehicle-mounted outer portion with respect to the tire equatorial plane CL.
Accordingly, in fig. 2, the groove total area S of the circumferential main groove on the vehicle mounting inner side with respect to the tire equatorial plane CL SI Total groove area S of circumferential main grooves on the outer side of the vehicle mounting with respect to tire equatorial plane CL SO Large.
As described above, the drainage is preferentially improved on the vehicle-mounted inside, and the rigidity is preferentially improved on the vehicle-mounted outside, so that the dry steering stability and the wet steering stability are efficiently improved.
In the pneumatic tires of additional modes 2 to 16 of the present disclosure, the groove total area S of the circumferential main groove on the vehicle mounting inner side with respect to the tire equatorial plane CL is increased SI While the drainage is efficiently improved, the total groove area S of the circumferential main groove on the outer side of the vehicle mounting with respect to the tire equatorial plane is reduced SO And the rigidity of the land portion is improved efficiently.

Additional modes 2-17
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, in the pneumatic tire according to any one of the additional modes 2 to 17 of the present disclosure, regarding any one of the adjacent two circumferential main grooves, the average groove width of the circumferential main groove on the vehicle mounting inner side is larger than the average groove width of the circumferential main groove on the vehicle mounting outer side in the basic mode 2 and any one of the additional modes 2 to 1 to 2 to 16.
More specifically, in fig. 1, the groove width of the 1 st circumferential main groove 110 is larger than the groove width of the 2 nd circumferential main groove 120. In fig. 2, the groove widths of the 1 st to 3 rd circumferential main grooves 210, 220, and 230 are in the order of the 1 st circumferential main groove 210, the 2 nd circumferential main groove 220, and the 3 rd circumferential main groove 230.
As described above, the drainage is preferentially improved on the vehicle-mounted inside, and the rigidity is preferentially improved on the vehicle-mounted outside, so that the dry steering stability and the wet steering stability are efficiently improved.
In the pneumatic tires of additional modes 2 to 17 of the present disclosure, regarding the adjacent two circumferential main grooves, the average groove width of the circumferential main groove on the vehicle-mounting-inner side is increased to efficiently improve the drainage, while on the other hand, the average groove width of the circumferential main groove on the vehicle-mounting-direction-outer side is reduced to efficiently improve the rigidity of the land portion divided around it.
Accordingly, the pneumatic tires of additional modes 2 to 17 of the present disclosure can further improve the wet steering stability and the dry steering stability.
Additional modes 2-18
In the pneumatic tire according to any one of the additional aspects 2 to 18 of the present disclosure, in all combinations of the adjacent two circumferential main grooves, the average groove width of the circumferential main groove on the vehicle-mounted inner side is larger than the average groove width of the circumferential main groove on the vehicle-mounted outer side in the basic aspect 2 and the additional aspects 2 to 1 to 2 to 17.
That is, the pneumatic tires of additional aspects 2 to 18 of the present disclosure are configured such that the average groove widths of the plurality of circumferential main grooves become smaller as going from the vehicle-mounted inner side toward the vehicle-mounted outer side.
As described above, the drainage is preferentially improved on the vehicle-mounted inside, and the rigidity is preferentially improved on the vehicle-mounted outside, so that the dry steering stability and the wet steering stability are efficiently improved.
In the pneumatic tires of additional aspects 2 to 18 of the present disclosure, the average groove width of the circumferential main groove disposed on the vehicle-mounted inner side is increased to efficiently improve the drainage, while the average groove width of the circumferential main groove on the vehicle-mounted outer side is reduced to efficiently improve the rigidity of the land portion divided around it.
Accordingly, the pneumatic tires of additional modes 2 to 18 of the present disclosure can further improve the wet steering stability and the dry steering stability.
Additional modes 2-19
FIG. 5 is A of the 1 st circumferential main groove 210 of FIG. 2 21 -A 22 A cross-sectional view.
As shown in fig. 5, in the pneumatic tire according to any one of the basic mode 2 and the additional modes 2-1 to 2-18 of the present disclosure, in the tire meridian cross-sectional view, an inclination angle of the vehicle-mounted inner side groove wall 210a of the 1 st circumferential main groove 210 with respect to the tire radial direction R is set to θ with respect to at least a circumferential main groove (1 st circumferential main groove 210 in fig. 5) that is arranged at a position most inside the vehicle mounting among the plurality of circumferential main grooves GI And the inclination angle of the vehicle-mounted outside groove wall 210b of the circumferential main groove 210 with respect to the tire radial direction is set to θ GO In this case, the following expression (22) is satisfied.
θ GI <θ GO (22)
In the pneumatic tires of additional modes 2 to 19 of the present disclosure, the vehicle-mounted inner side groove wall 210a of the 1 st circumferential main groove 210 has an inclination angle θ with respect to the tire radial direction GI Inclination angle θ of vehicle-mounted outer side groove wall 210b of 1 st circumferential main groove 210 with respect to the tire radial direction GO Is small.
Here, when the contour lines from the land portion surfaces located on both sides of the 1 st circumferential main groove 210 to the groove bottom are compared on both sides of the groove 210 where the vehicle is mounted, the vehicle is mounted inside W I The change in angle when moving from the surface profile of the chamfer 211 to the profile of the groove is relatively small, and is on the vehicle-mounted outside W O The angular change when moving from the surface profile of the chamfer 212 to the profile of the groove is relatively large. That is, assuming that the same tire width direction stress is applied to the Liu Bushi located on both sides of the groove 210 in the opposite directions and to the same extent, it can be said that the land portions located on the vehicle-mounted outer side with respect to the groove 210 are more difficult to wear from the shape of both land portions, and the rigidity is high. That is, this configuration corresponds to the above-described knowledge that the rigidity is preferably improved on the vehicle-mounted outer side.
In addition, when the groove center line of the 1 st circumferential main groove 210 is taken as a reference, the groove volume on the vehicle installation inner side is larger than the groove volume on the vehicle installation outer side. This configuration also corresponds to the above-described knowledge that it is preferable to improve drainage on the vehicle-mounted inner side.
Accordingly, the pneumatic tires of additional modes 2 to 19 of the present disclosure can further improve the wet steering stability and the dry steering stability.
FIG. 6 is a B of the 2 nd circumferential main groove 220 of FIG. 2 21 -B 22 A cross-sectional view. In addition, FIG. 7 is C of the 3 rd circumferential main groove 230 in FIG. 2 21 -C 22 A cross-sectional view. In addition, FIG. 8 is a D of the 4 th inclined groove 270 of FIG. 2 21 -D 22 A cross-sectional view.
As shown in fig. 6 and 7, the pneumatic tires of additional modes 2 to 19 of the present disclosure can further satisfy θ in the 2 nd and 3 rd circumferential main grooves 220 and 230 GI <θ GO .
