関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention makes it possible to achieve both steering stability and riding comfort by using tread rubbers having different complex elastic moduli in the tire axial direction and the tire radial direction. Regarding radial tires.

いては、安全に旋回できるコーナリング性能などの操縦
安定性能に加えて、路面からの衝撃を緩和し快適な走行
を可能とするための乗心地性能が要求される。[Prior art] Radial tires, especially radial tires for passenger cars, have steering stability performance such as cornering performance that allows safe turning, and ride comfort performance that enables comfortable running by absorbing impact from the road surface. Is required.
しかしながら、操縦安定性能を高めるべく、偏平率を

が行われていた。However, when the flatness ratio is reduced and the rigidity of the tire as a whole is increased in order to enhance the steering stability performance, the impact cushioning performance from the road surface is reduced and the riding comfort performance is reduced. It is an antinomy performance, and thus rubber and the like have been conventionally selected from these compromises.

て、操縦安定性能と乗心地性能を両立させることに気付
いたのである。Therefore, such a tire cannot satisfy the steering stability performance and the riding comfort performance at the same time. However, the steering stability performance during cornering is
By increasing the rigidity in the tire axial direction, that is, the lateral rigidity, the driver's maneuverability can be improved, and the riding comfort performance is especially judged during straight running at a constant speed, and for improving the riding comfort. In order to reduce the impact when passing through unevenness of the road surface, it is necessary to enhance the performance of the envelope, and it is good to reduce the longitudinal rigidity, that is, the rigidity in the tire radial direction. When rethinking the tread rubber by this tread rubber itself,
By using an anisotropic rubber that has increased rigidity in the axial direction of the tire and decreased rigidity in the radial direction of the tire, I have realized that both steering stability and riding comfort are achieved.
さらに、短繊維を所定方向に配列することによってゴ
ムの剛性をその方向によって異ならせることも見出し
た。Furthermore, it has been found that the rigidity of the rubber can be varied depending on the direction by arranging the short fibers in a predetermined direction.
従って本発明は、タイヤ軸方向の剛性を高めかつタイ

両立させうるラジアルタイヤの提供を目的としている。Therefore, the present invention provides a radial tire that can achieve both steering stability and riding comfort by using an anisotropic tread rubber that can increase the rigidity in the tire axial direction and reduce the rigidity in the tire radial direction. Has an aim.

Is a radial tire having a tread portion using.

The resistance to lateral force during cornering is increased to improve the steering stability, and at the same time, the vertical rigidity is not increased to maintain the envelope characteristics and maintain the riding comfort performance.
