てきた。2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, there has been known an example in which a large number of sipes are arranged at respective portions (center portion, mediate portion, shoulder portion) of a tire pattern for the purpose of improving ice performance of a studless tire. In particular, as means for improving the ice turning performance, one or two circumferential sipes were added to the shoulder portion that greatly contributes to the ice turning performance, or an angle of 5 ° or more was formed with respect to the tire width direction. Diagonal sipes have been provided to improve the lateral edge effect.

成分が少なく、効果が低くなってしまう。However, in the circumferential sipe, the number of the sipe is small, so that the edge effect in the horizontal direction is not sufficient, and since the sipe is often arranged so as to intersect with the sipe in the width direction,
The sipe density is too high and the block rigidity is reduced, which tends to lead to a reduction in the overall ice performance. In the case of an oblique sipe with an angle, the edge component in the horizontal direction is small, and the effect is reduced.

のが困難であった。However, in the above-described substantially Z-shaped sipe 10, although the edge components in the lateral direction and the front-back direction are large, the angle θ of the bent portion of the sipe 10 is small (16 to 70 °). However, since the bent portion has an acute angle, it is likely to be deformed at that portion to cause step wear. Further, there is a problem that the edge effect is reduced due to abrasion, and it becomes difficult to obtain desired ice performance. Further, when a plurality of such sipes are formed, the angle of the bent portion is small, so that the restriction on the arrangement is large. Therefore, it is difficult to arrange the sipes with a suitable sipe density in a well-balanced manner.

In addition, since the second section having the reference line at an angle of -30 to 30 ° with respect to the tire width direction is provided, the edge component in the front-rear direction increases, and the front-rear performance such as braking performance and acceleration performance is improved. Furthermore, since the bending angle between these reference lines is 80 ° or more, the block rigidity of the bent portion is easily secured, and the wear resistance is improved.
Further, since the reference line has three or more sections, the angle of the sipe can be adjusted to an angle of 60 to 90 ° with respect to the edge of the block, and the wear resistance near the edge can be increased. .

た。[Table 2] As shown in the results of Tables 1 and 2, in the examples, the edge components in the lateral direction and the front-back direction are large, and wear is less likely to occur at the bent portion of the sipe. Therefore, ice braking performance, ice acceleration performance, ice turning performance and Abrasion resistance performance was equal to or higher than conventional products. On the other hand, in Comparative Examples 2 to 5 in which either the angle α1 or the angle α2 was out of the range of the present invention, the ice braking performance and the ice acceleration performance or the ice turning performance were inferior to the conventional products. In Comparative Example 6, in which only the refraction angle was out of the range of the present invention, the abrasion resistance performance was insufficient.
