Description

本発明は、トレッドパターンにピッチバリエーションが採用された空気入りタイヤに関し、更に詳しくは、優れた排水性を維持しながら転がり抵抗を低減し、且つ、偏摩耗を抑制することを可能にした空気入りタイヤに関する。   The present invention relates to a pneumatic tire in which pitch variation is adopted for a tread pattern, and more specifically, a pneumatic tire that can reduce rolling resistance while suppressing excellent drainage and suppress uneven wear. Regarding tires.

従来、トレッドパターンに起因するパターンノイズを低減する等の目的で、ピッチバリエーションを採用したトレッドパターン(例えば、周方向長さの異なる複数のブロックをタイヤ周方向に連ねたブロック列を含むトレッドパターン)を設けることがある。このとき、例えば特許文献1は、ブロック列に含まれる各ブロックの周方向長さが異なることで周方向のブロック剛性が不均一になることを防止するために、ブロック列において各ブロックを区画するラグ溝に溝底を隆起させた底上げ部を設け、周方向長さの大きいブロック間のラグ溝に設けた底上げ部よりも、より周方向長さの小さいブロック間のラグ溝に設けた底上げ部の方が、高剛性であるようにすることを提案している。   Conventionally, a tread pattern employing a pitch variation for the purpose of reducing pattern noise caused by the tread pattern (for example, a tread pattern including a block row in which a plurality of blocks having different circumferential lengths are connected in the tire circumferential direction). May be provided. At this time, for example, in Patent Document 1, each block included in the block row is partitioned in the block row in order to prevent the circumferential block rigidity from becoming uneven due to different circumferential lengths. The bottom raised portion provided in the lug groove between the blocks having a smaller circumferential length than the bottom raised portion provided in the lug groove between the blocks having a large circumferential length is provided in the lug groove. This suggests that this is more rigid.

しかしながら、このような底上げ部は、底上げ部が形成されたラグ溝に隣接するブロックの剛性を高めて、ブロックの変形を抑制することで、転がり抵抗を低減したり偏摩耗の発生を抑制するには有効であるが、ラグ溝に本来所望される排水性能の妨げになるという問題がある。そのため、ピッチバリエーションを採用したトレッドパターンにおいて、優れた排水性能の維持とブロック(陸部)の剛性の不均一の抑制(即ち、転がり抵抗の低減や偏摩耗の抑制)とを高度に両立することが求められている。   However, such a raised bottom portion increases the rigidity of the block adjacent to the lug groove in which the raised bottom portion is formed and suppresses deformation of the block, thereby reducing rolling resistance and suppressing occurrence of uneven wear. Is effective, but there is a problem that the drainage performance originally desired for the lug groove is hindered. Therefore, in the tread pattern that adopts pitch variation, both maintaining excellent drainage performance and suppressing unevenness of block (land) rigidity (ie, reducing rolling resistance and suppressing uneven wear) are highly compatible. Is required.

本発明の目的は、トレッドパターンにピッチバリエーションが採用された空気入りタイヤにおいて、優れた排水性を維持しながら転がり抵抗を低減し、且つ、偏摩耗を抑制することを可能にした空気入りタイヤに関する。   An object of the present invention relates to a pneumatic tire in which pitch variation is adopted for a tread pattern, and it is possible to reduce rolling resistance while maintaining excellent drainage and to suppress uneven wear. .

上記目的を達成するための本発明の空気入りタイヤは、トレッド部にタイヤ周方向に延在する複数本の主溝が設けられ、該主溝により複数の陸部列が形成され、該陸部列のうちタイヤ幅方向最外側に位置するショルダー陸部列に一方の端部が前記主溝に連通しタイヤ幅方向に延在する複数本のラグ溝が設けられ、該ラグ溝により前記ショルダー陸部列が複数のブロックに区画され、該ブロックとこのブロックの一方側に隣接するラグ溝とからなる繰り返し単位のピッチ長が3種類以上存在する空気入りタイヤにおいて、前記ラグ溝に底上げ部を設け、該底上げ部のタイヤ幅方向長さを前記主溝の溝幅の50%〜150%にする一方で、前記底上げ部の底上げ高さをピッチ長が小さい繰り返し単位に含まれるラグ溝の底上げ部ほど大きくしたことを特徴とする。   In order to achieve the above object, the pneumatic tire of the present invention is provided with a plurality of main grooves extending in the tire circumferential direction in a tread portion, and a plurality of land portion rows are formed by the main grooves. A plurality of lug grooves with one end communicating with the main groove and extending in the tire width direction are provided in the shoulder land portion row located on the outermost side in the tire width direction of the row, and the shoulder land is provided by the lug groove. In a pneumatic tire in which a partial row is divided into a plurality of blocks and there are three or more types of pitch lengths of repeating units composed of the blocks and a lug groove adjacent to one side of the block, a raised portion is provided in the lug groove. The bottom raised portion of the lug groove included in the repeating unit having a small pitch length while the length of the bottom raised portion in the tire width direction is set to 50% to 150% of the groove width of the main groove. I made it bigger The features.

本発明では、ピッチ長が小さい繰り返し単位に含まれるブロックほど、剛性がより低くなり、より変形が生じ易くなるため、転がり抵抗の悪化や偏摩耗の原因となる傾向にある点に着目し、各ラグ溝に設けられた底上げ部について、ピッチ長が小さい繰り返し単位に含まれるラグ溝の底上げ部ほど底上げ高さを大きくし、より変形し易いブロックがより確実に補強されるようにしている。その結果、効果的に転がり抵抗を低減し、且つ、偏摩耗を抑制することができる。その一方で、ピッチ長が大きい繰り返し単位に含まれるブロックは、ブロック自体が充分な剛性を有し、変形が生じ難く、底上げ部により強固に補強する必要がないので、ピッチ長が大きい繰り返し単位に含まれるラグ溝の底上げ部ほど底上げ高さを小さくし、溝体積を確保するようにしている。その結果、優れた排水性能を充分に維持することができる。即ち、上述のようにブロック高さを変化させることで、ブロックの変形し易さに応じた各ブロックの適切な補強と、ブロックの変形し難さに応じた溝体積の確保とを、バランスよく両立することができ、転がり抵抗の低減及び偏摩耗の抑制と排水性能の維持とを効果的に両立することができる。更に、底上げ部のタイヤ幅方向長さを主溝の溝幅の50%〜150%に限定しているので、この点からも排水性能の悪化を抑制し、優れた排水性能を維持することができる。   In the present invention, since the blocks included in the repeating unit having a small pitch length have lower rigidity and are more likely to be deformed, attention is paid to the points that tend to cause deterioration of rolling resistance and uneven wear. With respect to the bottom raised portion provided in the lug groove, the bottom raised height of the lug groove included in the repeating unit having a small pitch length is increased so that the block that is more easily deformed is more reliably reinforced. As a result, the rolling resistance can be effectively reduced and uneven wear can be suppressed. On the other hand, a block included in a repeating unit having a large pitch length has sufficient rigidity, is not easily deformed, and does not need to be reinforced more strongly by a raised portion. The bottom raising height of the lug groove included is made smaller to secure the groove volume. As a result, excellent drainage performance can be sufficiently maintained. That is, by changing the block height as described above, appropriate reinforcement of each block according to the ease of deformation of the block and securing of the groove volume according to the difficulty of deformation of the block are balanced. It is possible to achieve both compatibility, effectively reducing rolling resistance and suppressing uneven wear and maintaining drainage performance. Furthermore, since the length in the tire width direction of the bottom raised portion is limited to 50% to 150% of the groove width of the main groove, it is possible to suppress deterioration of drainage performance and maintain excellent drainage performance also from this point. it can.

本発明では、底上げ部がラグ溝の主溝に連通する側の端部に配置されていることが好ましい。このように底上げ部を主溝側に設けることで、変形の生じやすいブロックの角部を効果的に補強できるので、転がり抵抗を低減し、且つ、耐偏摩耗性能を向上するには有利になる。   In this invention, it is preferable that the bottom raising part is arrange | positioned at the edge part of the side connected to the main groove of a lug groove. By providing the bottom raised portion on the main groove side in this way, it is possible to effectively reinforce the corner portion of the block that is likely to be deformed, which is advantageous for reducing rolling resistance and improving uneven wear resistance. .

本発明では、底上げ部の底上げ高さがラグ溝の溝深さの10%〜50%であることが好ましい。このように底上げ高さを所定の範囲に限定することで、排水性能の悪化を効果的に抑制しながら底上げ部による剛性向上(転がり抵抗の低減及び偏摩耗の抑制)の効果を充分に得ることができる。   In this invention, it is preferable that the bottom raising height of a bottom raising part is 10%-50% of the groove depth of a lug groove. In this way, by limiting the height of the bottom to a predetermined range, it is possible to sufficiently obtain the effect of improving rigidity (reducing rolling resistance and suppressing uneven wear) while effectively suppressing deterioration of drainage performance. Can do.

本発明では、底上げ部の最大底上げ高さと最小底上げ高さとの比が1.8〜2.3であることが好ましい。このように、底上げ部の底上げ高さをラグ溝によって異ならせるにあたって、底上げ高さの最大値と最小値との関係を上記範囲に設定することで、排水性能の維持と、転がり抵抗の低減及び偏摩耗の抑制とをバランスよく両立することが可能になる。   In this invention, it is preferable that ratio of the maximum bottom raising height of the bottom raising part and the minimum bottom raising height is 1.8-2.3. Thus, in making the bottom raising height of the bottom raising portion different depending on the lug groove, by setting the relationship between the maximum value and the minimum value of the bottom raising height within the above range, it is possible to maintain drainage performance, reduce rolling resistance, and It is possible to balance the uneven wear with a good balance.

本発明では、底上げ部の底上げ高さが主溝側に向かって徐々に小さくなることが好ましい。このように底上げ高さを変化させることで、ラグ溝内の水の流れを良好にして、より効果的に排水性能を維持することができる。   In the present invention, it is preferable that the bottom raising height of the bottom raising portion gradually decreases toward the main groove. Thus, by changing the height of raising the bottom, the flow of water in the lug groove can be improved, and the drainage performance can be more effectively maintained.

本発明は、このような一般的な空気入りタイヤに適用されるが、その断面構造は上述の基本構造に限定されるものではない。   The present invention is applied to such a general pneumatic tire, but its cross-sectional structure is not limited to the basic structure described above.

本発明の空気入りタイヤのトレッド部1の外表面(トレッド面10)には、図2に例示するように、タイヤ周方向に延在する複数本(図2では4本)の主溝11が設けられ、これら主溝11により複数列(図2では5列)の陸部列12が形成されている。これら主溝11のうち、タイヤ赤道CL側に位置する一対をセンター側主溝11C、タイヤ幅方向外側に位置する一対を外側主溝11Sとする。また、複数列の陸部列12のうち、一対のセンター側主溝11C間に位置するものをセンター陸部列12C、センター側主溝11Cと外側主溝11Sとの間に位置するものを中間陸部列12M、外側主溝11Sのタイヤ幅方向外側に位置するものをショルダー陸部列12Sとする。図2の例では、センター陸部列12Cを除く中間陸部列12M及びショルダー陸部列12Sにタイヤ幅方向に延在するラグ溝13が設けられている。尚、ラグ溝13のうち、中間陸部列12Mに設けられたものを中間ラグ溝13M、ショルダー陸部列12Sに設けられたものをショルダーラグ溝13Sとする。図2の例では、中間ラグ溝13Mはセンター主溝11Cと外側主溝11Sとの両者に連通し、ショルダーラグ溝13Sは一方の端部が外側主溝11Sに連通すると共に他方の端部はショルダー陸部列12S内で終端している。中間陸部列12Mには、中間ラグ溝13Mの他に、主溝11よりも溝幅が小さくタイヤ周方向に延びる周方向細溝14が設けられている。これらラグ溝13と周方向溝14とにより、各陸部列12M,12Sはそれぞれブロック15に区画されている。尚、本発明において、ブロック15とは、主溝11とラグ溝13(と場合によって周方向溝14)とによって四辺が区画されたブロックと、リブ状の陸部において主溝11とラグ溝13(と場合によって周方向溝14)とによって区画された部分(一部が他の部分と連結)との両方を含む。具体的には、中間陸部列12Mは、中間ラグ溝13Mと周方向細溝14とによりタイヤ幅方向に2列かつタイヤ周方向に多数のブロック15(中間ブロック15M)に区画されている。一方、ショルダー陸部12Sは、ショルダーラグ溝13Sによりタイヤ周方向に多数のブロック15(ショルダーブロック15S)に区画されているが、このショルダーブロック15Sは、タイヤ幅方向外側の一部がタイヤ周方向に隣り合う別のショルダーブロック15Sと連結している。   As illustrated in FIG. 2, a plurality of (four in FIG. 2) main grooves 11 extending in the tire circumferential direction are formed on the outer surface (tread surface 10) of the tread portion 1 of the pneumatic tire of the present invention. A plurality of rows (5 rows in FIG. 2) of land portions 12 are formed by these main grooves 11. Of these main grooves 11, a pair located on the tire equator CL side is referred to as a center-side main groove 11C, and a pair located on the outer side in the tire width direction is referred to as an outer main groove 11S. Also, among the plurality of land portion rows 12, the one located between the pair of center side main grooves 11C is the center land portion row 12C, and the one located between the center side main groove 11C and the outer main groove 11S is the middle. The land portion row 12M and the outer main groove 11S located on the outer side in the tire width direction are referred to as a shoulder land portion row 12S. In the example of FIG. 2, lug grooves 13 extending in the tire width direction are provided in the intermediate land portion row 12M and the shoulder land portion row 12S excluding the center land portion row 12C. Of the lug grooves 13, those provided in the intermediate land portion row 12M are referred to as intermediate lug grooves 13M, and those provided in the shoulder land portion row 12S are referred to as shoulder lug grooves 13S. In the example of FIG. 2, the intermediate lug groove 13M communicates with both the center main groove 11C and the outer main groove 11S, and the shoulder lug groove 13S communicates with one end at the outer main groove 11S and the other end at the other end. It terminates in the shoulder land portion row 12S. In addition to the intermediate lug groove 13M, the intermediate land portion row 12M is provided with a circumferential narrow groove 14 having a groove width smaller than that of the main groove 11 and extending in the tire circumferential direction. The land portion rows 12M and 12S are partitioned into blocks 15 by the lug grooves 13 and the circumferential grooves 14, respectively. In the present invention, the block 15 is a block having four sides defined by the main groove 11 and the lug groove 13 (and possibly the circumferential groove 14), and the main groove 11 and the lug groove 13 in the rib-like land portion. (And in some cases, the circumferential groove 14) and a portion (part of which is connected to another portion). Specifically, the intermediate land portion row 12M is divided into two blocks 15 (intermediate blocks 15M) in the tire width direction and in the tire circumferential direction by the intermediate lug grooves 13M and the circumferential narrow grooves 14. On the other hand, the shoulder land portion 12S is partitioned into a large number of blocks 15 (shoulder blocks 15S) in the tire circumferential direction by shoulder lug grooves 13S. The shoulder blocks 15S are partially outside the tire width direction. It is connected to another shoulder block 15S adjacent to.

このとき、ラグ溝13が設けられブロック15が区画された1つの陸部列12(図2の場合、中間陸部列12Mとショルダー陸部列12Sとのそれぞれ)において、ブロック15とこのブロック15の一方側に隣接するラグ溝13とを1つの繰り返し単位と見做すと、この繰り返し単位の周方向長さ(ピッチ長P)は全ての繰り返し単位で同一ではなく、図2に示すように、3種類以上(図2では3種類)のピッチ長P(P1〜P3)が存在している。このとき、ピッチ長P1〜P3の大小関係は、P1<P2<P3である。尚、ピッチ長Pはラグ溝13の主溝11に対する連通位置にて測定し、1つのラグ溝13のエッジから隣り合うラグ溝13のエッジまでの距離である(図2の点線を参照)。また、図2では、ショルダー陸部列12Sにおける繰り返し単位についてのみ図示しているが、中間ラグ溝12Mについても同様の構成とすることもできる。   At this time, in one land portion row 12 (in the case of FIG. 2, each of the intermediate land portion row 12M and the shoulder land portion row 12S) in which the lug groove 13 is provided and the block 15 is partitioned, the block 15 and the block 15 Assuming that the lug groove 13 adjacent to one side is a single repeating unit, the circumferential length (pitch length P) of this repeating unit is not the same in all the repeating units, as shown in FIG. There are three or more (three types in FIG. 2) pitch lengths P (P1 to P3). At this time, the magnitude relationship between the pitch lengths P1 to P3 is P1 <P2 <P3. The pitch length P is measured at the position where the lug groove 13 communicates with the main groove 11 and is the distance from the edge of one lug groove 13 to the edge of the adjacent lug groove 13 (see the dotted line in FIG. 2). Moreover, in FIG. 2, although only the repeating unit in the shoulder land portion row 12S is illustrated, the intermediate lug groove 12M may have the same configuration.

尚、本発明は、後述のように、ショルダー陸部列12Sに設けられたショルダーラグ溝13Sに底上げ部16を設けるものであるので、ショルダー陸部12Sに一方の端部が主溝11(外側主溝11S)に連通したショルダーラグ溝13Sが設けられ、このショルダーラグ溝13Sによりブロック15(ショルダーブロック15S)が区画されて3種類以上のピッチ長Pの繰り返し単位が存在していれば、トレッドパターンは上述の例に限定されるものではない。   In the present invention, as will be described later, since the bottom raised portion 16 is provided in the shoulder lug groove 13S provided in the shoulder land portion row 12S, one end portion of the shoulder land portion 12S has the main groove 11 (outer side). If a shoulder lug groove 13S communicating with the main groove 11S) is provided, and the block 15 (shoulder block 15S) is partitioned by the shoulder lug groove 13S and there are three or more types of repeating units having a pitch length P, the tread The pattern is not limited to the above example.

このように構成されたトレッド面10において、ショルダーラグ溝13Sには、図3,4に示すように、底上げ部16が設けられている。底上げ部16は、ショルダーラグ溝13Sの溝底を隆起させて構成される。また、この底上げ部16のタイヤ幅方向長さLは、主溝11(外側主溝11S)の溝幅GWの50%〜150%である。尚、図示のように底上げ部16がショルダーラグ溝13Sの溝底と滑らかに連続している場合、底上げ部16のタイヤ幅方向長さLは、底上げ部16の隆起の開始点を基準に測定される。   In the tread surface 10 configured as described above, the shoulder lug groove 13S is provided with a bottom-up portion 16 as shown in FIGS. The bottom raising portion 16 is configured by raising the groove bottom of the shoulder lug groove 13S. The length L of the bottom raised portion 16 in the tire width direction is 50% to 150% of the groove width GW of the main groove 11 (outer main groove 11S). In addition, when the bottom raising part 16 is smoothly continuing with the groove bottom of the shoulder lug groove 13S as shown in the figure, the length L in the tire width direction of the bottom raising part 16 is measured on the basis of the starting point of the protrusion of the bottom raising part 16. Is done.

その一方で、底上げ部16の底上げ高さHは、その底上げ部16が設けられたショルダーラグ溝13Sを含む繰り返し単位のピッチ長Pに応じて変化し、ピッチ長Pが小さい繰り返し単位に含まれるショルダーラグ溝13Sに設けられた底上げ部16ほど底上げ高さHが大きくなっている。具体的には、図3に例示するように、ピッチ長P1の繰り返し単位に含まれるショルダーラグ溝13Sに設けられた底上げ部16の底上げ高さH1、ピッチ長P2の繰り返し単位に含まれるショルダーラグ溝13Sに設けられた底上げ部16の底上げ高さH2、ピッチ長P3の繰り返し単位に含まれるショルダーラグ溝13Sに設けられた底上げ部16の底上げ高さH3が、ピッチ長P1〜P3の大小関係(P1<P2<P3)に対応して、H1>H2>H3という大小関係になっている。   On the other hand, the bottom raising height H of the bottom raising portion 16 changes according to the pitch length P of the repeating unit including the shoulder lug groove 13S provided with the bottom raising portion 16, and the pitch length P is included in the small repeating unit. The bottom raising height H of the bottom raising portion 16 provided in the shoulder lug groove 13S increases. Specifically, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the shoulder lug included in the repeating unit of the bottom raising height 16 of the bottom raising portion 16 provided in the shoulder lug groove 13 </ b> S included in the repeating unit of the pitch length P <b> 1 and the pitch length P <b> 2. The height of the bottom raising portion 16 provided in the groove 13S and the height H3 of the bottom raising portion 16 provided in the shoulder lug groove 13S included in the repeating unit of the pitch length P3 of the bottom raising portion 16 are related to the pitch lengths P1 to P3. Corresponding to (P1 <P2 <P3), the magnitude relationship is H1> H2> H3.

本発明では、ピッチ長Pが小さい繰り返し単位に含まれるショルダーブロック15Sほど、剛性がより低くなり、より変形が生じ易くなるため、転がり抵抗の悪化や偏摩耗の原因となる傾向にある点に着目し、各ショルダーラグ溝13Sに設けられた底上げ部16について、ピッチ長Pが小さい繰り返し単位に含まれるショルダーラグ溝13Sの底上げ部16ほど底上げ高さHを大きくし、より変形し易いショルダーブロック15Sがより確実に補強されるようにしている。その結果、効果的に転がり抵抗を低減し、且つ、偏摩耗を抑制することができる。その一方で、ピッチ長Pが大きい繰り返し単位に含まれるショルダーブロック15Sは、そのショルダーブロック15S自体が充分な剛性を有し、変形が生じ難く、底上げ部16による補強が必ずしも必要ではないので、ピッチ長Pが大きい繰り返し単位に含まれるショルダーラグ溝13Sの底上げ部16ほど底上げ高さを小さくし、ショルダーラグ溝13Sの溝体積を確保するようにしている。その結果、優れた排水性能を充分に維持することができる。即ち、本発明では、上述のように底上げ高さHをショルダーラグ溝13Sごとに変化させることで、ショルダーブロック15Sの変形し易さに応じた各ショルダーブロック15Sの適切な補強と、ショルダーブロック15Sの変形し難さに応じたショルダーラグ溝13S溝体積の確保とを、バランスよく両立することができ、転がり抵抗の低減及び偏摩耗の抑制と排水性能の維持とを効果的に両立することができる。更に、底上げ部16のタイヤ幅方向長さLを主溝11の溝幅GWの50%〜150%に限定しているので、この点からも排水性能の悪化を抑制し、優れた排水性能を維持することができる。   In the present invention, the shoulder block 15S included in the repeating unit having a small pitch length P has a lower rigidity and is more likely to be deformed, and thus tends to cause deterioration of rolling resistance and uneven wear. For the bottom raised portions 16 provided in each shoulder lug groove 13S, the bottom raised portion H of the shoulder lug groove 13S included in the repeating unit having a small pitch length P increases the bottom raised height H, and the shoulder block 15S is more easily deformed. Is reinforced more reliably. As a result, the rolling resistance can be effectively reduced and uneven wear can be suppressed. On the other hand, the shoulder block 15S included in the repeating unit having a large pitch length P has a sufficient rigidity, the shoulder block 15S itself is not easily deformed, and reinforcement by the bottom raised portion 16 is not necessarily required. The bottom raised portion 16 of the shoulder lug groove 13S included in the repeating unit having a large length P is made smaller in height to secure the groove volume of the shoulder lug groove 13S. As a result, excellent drainage performance can be sufficiently maintained. In other words, in the present invention, by changing the raised height H for each shoulder lug groove 13S as described above, appropriate reinforcement of each shoulder block 15S according to the ease of deformation of the shoulder block 15S, and the shoulder block 15S. The shoulder lug groove 13S according to the difficulty of deformation can be ensured in a well-balanced manner, and the reduction of rolling resistance, the suppression of uneven wear and the maintenance of drainage performance can be effectively achieved at the same time. it can. Furthermore, since the length L in the tire width direction of the bottom raised portion 16 is limited to 50% to 150% of the groove width GW of the main groove 11, the deterioration of drainage performance is suppressed from this point as well, and excellent drainage performance is achieved. Can be maintained.

このとき、底上げ部16の高さがピッチ長Pに依らずに全てのショルダーラグ溝13Sにおいて一定であったり、ピッチ長Pが小さい繰り返し単位に含まれるショルダーラグ溝13Sほど底上げ部16の底上げ高さHが小さくなると、ショルダーブロック15Sの変形し易さに応じた適切な補強ができなくなるため、転がり抵抗の低減及び偏摩耗の抑制の効果が得られない。また、底上げ部16のタイヤ幅方向長さLが主溝11の溝幅GWの50%よりも小さいと底上げ部16による補強効果が充分に得られず、逆に、底上げ部16のタイヤ幅方向長さLが主溝11の溝幅GWの150%よりも大きいと溝体積が減少して排水性能が悪化する。   At this time, the height of the bottom raised portion 16 is constant in all the shoulder lug grooves 13S regardless of the pitch length P, or the shoulder lug groove 13S included in the repeating unit having a smaller pitch length P is the height of the bottom raised portion 16 raised. When the height H is small, appropriate reinforcement according to the ease of deformation of the shoulder block 15S cannot be performed, so that the effect of reducing rolling resistance and suppressing uneven wear cannot be obtained. Further, if the length L of the bottom raised portion 16 in the tire width direction is smaller than 50% of the groove width GW of the main groove 11, a sufficient reinforcing effect by the bottom raised portion 16 cannot be obtained. If the length L is larger than 150% of the groove width GW of the main groove 11, the groove volume decreases and the drainage performance deteriorates.

ショルダーブロック15Sに対して周方向両側にショルダーラグ溝13Sが1本ずつ存在するが、これらショルダーラグ溝13Sのうち、ショルダーラグ溝13Sがタイヤ幅方向に対して傾斜することでショルダーブロック15Sの角部が鋭角になっている側のショルダーラグ溝13Sを、繰り返し単位においてショルダーブロック15Sと対となるものとすることが好ましい。即ち、ショルダーブロック15Sの角部のうち鋭角である箇所の方が変形し易いため、この側を底上げ部16によって補強することが転がり抵抗の低減や偏摩耗の抑制には効果的である。尚、ショルダーブロック15Sに対して周方向両側のショルダーラグ溝13Sの両方に底上げ部16を設けると、底上げ部16が多くなるため、溝体積を充分に確保することが難しくなり排水性能に影響がある。   There is one shoulder lug groove 13S on both sides in the circumferential direction with respect to the shoulder block 15S. Of these shoulder lug grooves 13S, the shoulder lug grooves 13S are inclined with respect to the tire width direction so that the corners of the shoulder block 15S are present. It is preferable that the shoulder lug groove 13S on the side where the portion is an acute angle is paired with the shoulder block 15S in the repeating unit. That is, since the portion of the shoulder block 15S that has an acute angle is more easily deformed, reinforcing this side with the raised bottom portion 16 is effective in reducing rolling resistance and suppressing uneven wear. If the bottom raised portions 16 are provided in both shoulder lug grooves 13S on both sides in the circumferential direction with respect to the shoulder block 15S, the bottom raised portions 16 increase, so that it is difficult to secure a sufficient groove volume, and the drainage performance is affected. is there.

上述のように、ショルダーブロック15Sの角部のうち鋭角である箇所が変形し易いので、この部位を確実に補強できるように、底上げ部16をショルダーラグ溝13Sの主溝11に連通する側の端部に配置することが好ましい。これにより、変形の生じやすいショルダーブロック15Sの角部を効果的に補強できるので、転がり抵抗を低減し、且つ、耐偏摩耗性能を向上するには有利になる。   As described above, an acute angle portion of the corner portion of the shoulder block 15S is easily deformed, so that the bottom raised portion 16 on the side communicating with the main groove 11 of the shoulder lug groove 13S can be reliably reinforced. It is preferable to arrange at the end. Thereby, since the corner | angular part of the shoulder block 15S which is easy to produce a deformation | transformation can be effectively reinforced, it becomes advantageous in reducing rolling resistance and improving uneven wear-proof performance.

本発明では、底上げ部16の底上げ高さHがショルダーラグ溝13Sによって変化するが、いずれの底上げ部16であっても、その底上げ高さHが、ショルダーラグ溝13Sの溝深さDの10%〜50%の範囲に収まることが好ましい。このように底上げ高さHを所定の範囲に限定することで、排水性能の悪化を効果的に抑制しながら底上げ部16による剛性向上(転がり抵抗の低減及び偏摩耗の抑制)の効果を充分に得ることができる。このとき、底上げ高さHが、ラグ溝13の溝深さDの10%よりも小さいと底上げ部16を設けることによる剛性向上の効果が充分に得られず、ラグ溝13の溝深さDの50%よりも大きいと排水性能を充分に維持することが難しくなる。   In the present invention, the bottom raising height H of the bottom raising portion 16 varies depending on the shoulder lug groove 13S. However, in any bottom raising portion 16, the bottom raising height H is 10 which is the groove depth D of the shoulder lug groove 13S. It is preferable to be within the range of% to 50%. By limiting the bottom raising height H to a predetermined range in this way, the effect of improving the rigidity by the bottom raising portion 16 (reducing rolling resistance and suppressing uneven wear) is sufficiently suppressed while effectively suppressing the deterioration of drainage performance. Can be obtained. At this time, if the bottom raising height H is smaller than 10% of the groove depth D of the lug groove 13, the effect of improving the rigidity by providing the bottom raising portion 16 is not sufficiently obtained, and the groove depth D of the lug groove 13 is not obtained. If it is larger than 50%, it becomes difficult to sufficiently maintain the drainage performance.

排水性能の維持と転がり抵抗の低減及び偏摩耗の抑制とのバランスを考慮すると、最も底上げ高さHが大きい底上げ部16と最も底上げ高さHが小さい底上げ部16との底上げ高さHの差が極端に大きくなることは好ましくない。そのため、底上げ部16の最大底上げ高さ(図3の場合H1)と最小底上げ高さ(図3の場合H3)との比(図3の場合H1/H3)が1.8〜2.3であることが好ましい。このように、底上げ部16の底上げ高さHをショルダーラグ溝13Sによって異ならせるにあたって、底上げ高さHの最大値と最小値との関係を設定することで、排水性能の維持と転がり抵抗の低減及び偏摩耗の抑制とをバランスよく両立することが可能になる。このとき、底上げ部16の最大底上げ高さと最小底上げ高さとの比が1.8よりも小さいと、実質的に底上げ部16の底上げ高さHが全てのショルダーラグ溝13Sにおいて略一定になるため、ショルダーブロック15Sの変形し易さに応じた適切な補強が充分にできなくなる。逆に、底上げ部16の最大底上げ高さと最小底上げ高さとの比が2.3よりも大きいと、底上げ高さHの最大値と最小値との差が大きくなるため、排水性能の維持と転がり抵抗の低減及び偏摩耗の抑制とをバランスよく達成することが難しくなる。   Considering the balance between maintaining drainage performance, reducing rolling resistance, and suppressing uneven wear, the difference between the raised height H between the raised portion 16 having the largest raised height H and the raised portion 16 having the smallest raised height H. It is not preferable that is extremely large. Therefore, the ratio (H1 / H3 in FIG. 3) of the maximum bottom raising height (H1 in FIG. 3) and the minimum bottom raising height (H3 in FIG. 3) of the bottom raising portion 16 is 1.8 to 2.3. Preferably there is. As described above, when the bottom raised height H of the bottom raised portion 16 is varied depending on the shoulder lug groove 13S, the relationship between the maximum value and the minimum value of the raised height H is set, thereby maintaining drainage performance and reducing rolling resistance. And suppression of uneven wear can be achieved in a balanced manner. At this time, if the ratio of the maximum bottom raising height and the minimum bottom raising height of the bottom raising portion 16 is smaller than 1.8, the bottom raising height H of the bottom raising portion 16 is substantially constant in all the shoulder lug grooves 13S. The appropriate reinforcement according to the ease of deformation of the shoulder block 15S cannot be sufficiently achieved. On the contrary, if the ratio of the maximum bottom raising height to the minimum bottom raising height of the bottom raising portion 16 is larger than 2.3, the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the bottom raising height H becomes large, so that the drainage performance is maintained and rolled. It becomes difficult to achieve a good balance between reducing resistance and suppressing uneven wear.

1つのショルダーラグ溝13Sに設けられた1つの底上げ部16の底上げ高さHは、図4に示すように底上げ部16の全体において一定である必要は無く、図5に例示するように、主溝11側に向かって徐々に小さくなることが好ましい。このように底上げ高さHを変化させることで、ラグ溝13内の水の流れを良好にして、より効果的に排水性能を維持することができる。このとき、底上げ部16の最も主溝11側における底上げ高さが底上げ部の最大底上げ高さの50%以下になるようにすることが好ましい。   The bottom raised height H of one bottom raised portion 16 provided in one shoulder lug groove 13S does not need to be constant throughout the bottom raised portion 16 as shown in FIG. It is preferable that it gradually decreases toward the groove 11 side. By changing the bottom raising height H in this way, the flow of water in the lug groove 13 can be improved and the drainage performance can be more effectively maintained. At this time, it is preferable that the bottom raising height of the bottom raising portion 16 closest to the main groove 11 is 50% or less of the maximum bottom raising height of the bottom raising portion.

タイヤサイズが195/65R15 91Hであり、図1に例示する断面形状を有し、図2に例示するトレッドパターンを基調とし、ショルダー陸部列について、底上げ部の有無、底上げ高さ(H1〜H3)、底上げ高さの最大/最小比、底上げ部のタイヤ幅方向の長さ(底上げ部の長さ)、底上げ高さの変化の有無をそれぞれ表1のように設定した従来例1、比較例1〜4、実施例1〜11の16種類の空気入りタイヤを作製した。   The tire size is 195 / 65R15 91H, has the cross-sectional shape illustrated in FIG. 1, is based on the tread pattern illustrated in FIG. 2, and the shoulder land portion row has a bottom raised portion and a raised height (H1 to H3). ), The maximum / minimum ratio of the raised height, the length of the raised portion in the tire width direction (the length of the raised portion), and whether or not there is a change in the raised height as shown in Table 1, Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 16 types of pneumatic tires of 1-4 and Examples 1-11 were produced.

尚、いずれの例も、繰り返し単位としてピッチ長の異なる3種類が含まれ、最も小さいピッチ長P1が33mm、2番目に小さいピッチ長P2が28mm、最も大きいピッチ長P3が22mmである。上述の底上げ高さH1〜H3は、ピッチ長P1〜P3と対応し、ピッチ長P1の繰り返し単位に含まれるラグ溝に設けられた底上げ部の底上げ高さがH1、ピッチ長P2の繰り返し単位に含まれるラグ溝に設けられた底上げ部の底上げ高さがH2、ピッチ長P3の繰り返し単位に含まれるラグ溝に設けられた底上げ部の底上げ高さがH3である。また、後述のように底上げ高さが主溝側に向かって徐々に減少する場合の底上げ高さH1〜H3は、各底上げ部の最大底上げ高さとした。   Each example includes three types having different pitch lengths as a repeating unit, where the smallest pitch length P1 is 33 mm, the second smallest pitch length P2 is 28 mm, and the largest pitch length P3 is 22 mm. The raised heights H1 to H3 described above correspond to the pitch lengths P1 to P3, and the raised height of the raised portion provided in the lug groove included in the repeating unit of the pitch length P1 is H1 and the repeating unit of the pitch length P2. The raised height of the raised portion provided in the included lug groove is H2, and the raised height of the raised portion provided in the lug groove included in the repeating unit of the pitch length P3 is H3. Further, as described later, the bottom raising heights H1 to H3 when the bottom raising height gradually decreases toward the main groove are the maximum bottom raising heights of the respective bottom raising portions.

表1の「底上げ高さの変化の有無」の欄については、底上げ高さが底上げ部の全体に亘って一定であるものを「無」、底上げ高さが主溝側に向かって徐々に減少するものを「有」と示した。   In the column of “Presence / absence of change in bottom-up height” in Table 1, “No” indicates that the bottom-up height is constant over the entire bottom-up portion, and the bottom-up height gradually decreases toward the main groove. The thing to do is indicated as “Yes”.

これら16種類の空気入りタイヤについて、下記の評価方法により、排水性能、転がり抵抗、及び、耐偏摩耗性能を評価し、その結果を表1に併せて示した。   About these 16 types of pneumatic tires, drainage performance, rolling resistance and uneven wear resistance performance were evaluated by the following evaluation methods, and the results are also shown in Table 1.

排水性能
各試験タイヤをリムサイズ15×6Jのホイールに組み付けて、空気圧を230kPaとして排気量1.8Lの試験車両に装着し、直進路上で水深10±1mmのプールに進入するようにした走行試験を実施し、プールへの進入速度を徐々に増加させ、ハイドロプレーニング現象が発生する限界速度を測定した。評価結果は、従来例1を100とする指数にて示した。この指数値が大きいほど排水性能が優れることを意味する。尚、指数値が「98.5」以上であれば、従来レベルの優れた排水性能を維持している。

The speed of entering the pool was gradually increased, and the critical speed at which the hydroplaning phenomenon occurred was measured. The evaluation results are shown as an index with Conventional Example 1 as 100. A larger index value means better drainage performance. In addition, if the index value is “98.5” or more, the drainage performance of the conventional level is maintained.

転がり抵抗

表1から明らかなように、実施例1〜11はいずれも従来例1に対して、排水性能と転がり抵抗及び耐偏摩耗性能とをバランスよく向上した。   As is clear from Table 1, Examples 1 to 11 all improved drainage performance, rolling resistance and uneven wear resistance in a well-balanced manner with respect to Conventional Example 1.

一方、底上げ部を一切設けない比較例1は、排水性能は優れるものの、転がり抵抗及び耐偏摩耗性能が悪化した。ピッチ長に対する底上げ高さの大小関係が本発明と逆転した比較例2は、排水性能は従来レベルを維持するものの、転がり抵抗及び耐偏摩耗性能が悪化した。底上げ部の長さが小さ過ぎる比較例3は、排水性能は僅かに向上するものの、充分な補強効果が得られず転がり抵抗及び耐偏摩耗性能が悪化した。底上げ部の長さが大き過ぎる比較例4は、従来レベルの排水性能を維持することができず、排水性能が悪化した。   On the other hand, Comparative Example 1 in which no bottom-up portion was provided had excellent drainage performance but deteriorated rolling resistance and uneven wear resistance performance. In Comparative Example 2 in which the relationship between the height of the bottom and the height of the pitch was reversed from that of the present invention, the drainage performance was maintained at the conventional level, but the rolling resistance and uneven wear resistance were deteriorated. In Comparative Example 3 in which the length of the bottom raised portion is too small, the drainage performance is slightly improved, but a sufficient reinforcing effect cannot be obtained, and the rolling resistance and uneven wear resistance performance deteriorate. In Comparative Example 4 in which the length of the bottom raised portion is too large, the conventional level of drainage performance could not be maintained, and the drainage performance deteriorated.
