【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、氷上性能を維持しながら雪上性能を向上させた空気入りタイヤに関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、空気入りタイヤにおいて、氷上性能を高めようとしてトレッド面の接地面積を大きくすると溝面積が少なくなって雪上性能が低下してしまうため、氷上性能と雪上性能とを高い次元で両立させるのは非常に困難であった。また、一般的な市場のニーズでは、氷上性能の向上が開発の主目的となっており、技術的にも雪上性能を維持しながら氷上性能の向上を謳ったもの(すなわち、氷上性能重視)が大半である(特開平6−171317号、特開平7−186633号、特開平10−44719号等)。
【0003】
しかしながら、氷上性能を落とさずに雪上性能を向上させることも重要であり、特に、スノー競技用タイヤでは、氷上性能はもちろん雪上性能でも高い性能を発揮させることが求められている。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明の目的は、氷上性能を維持しながら(すなわち、氷上性能を損なうことなしに)雪上性能を向上させた空気入りタイヤを提供することにある。ここで、氷上性能とは氷路面における制動性・駆動性・運動性をいい、雪上性能とは雪路面における制動性・駆動性・運動性をいう。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明の空気入りタイヤは、タイヤセンターラインを中心として左右両側にそれぞれタイヤ接地幅Wの16〜23%となるトレッド面の領域に、タイヤ接地幅Wの6〜9%の溝幅を有しかつタイヤ周方向に延びる主溝をタイヤセンターラインを挟んで左右両側にそれぞれ1本づつ互いに対称位置に設け、これら主溝によりトレッド面を幅方向にセンター部と両ショルダー部との3域に区画し、これら3域にタイヤ幅方向に延びるラグ溝を設け、センター部のラグ溝の溝幅をタイヤ接地幅Wの12〜16%にしかつショルダー部のラグ溝の溝幅をタイヤ接地幅Wの6〜14%にすると共にセンター部のラグ溝の溝幅をショルダー部のラグ溝の溝幅よりも大きくし、ラグ溝と主溝とによって形成されるブロックの表面にタイヤ幅方向にサイプを設けたことを特徴とする。
【0006】
このように、タイヤセンターライン(接地幅中心)を挟んで左右両側にタイヤ周方向に延びる主溝をそれぞれ1本づつ(合計2本)互いに対称位置に設けたため、雪路の走行に際してその主溝に雪が入り込み、タイヤ横滑りを防止することができる。また、センター部と両ショルダー部との3域にラグ溝を設けたため、雪路の走行に際してそのラグ溝に雪が入り込むことによる雪柱剪断力により雪上性能を高めることができる。さらに、雪路の走行に際して、ショルダー部に比して接地圧が大きく雪離れしにくいセンター部のラグ溝の溝幅をショルダー部のラグ溝の溝幅よりも大きくしたため、雪離れし易くなるので排雪性が向上し、雪上性能がいっそう向上する。
【0007】
一方、ブロックの表面にタイヤ幅方向にサイプを設けたため、氷路の走行に際してそのサイプのエッジ効果により氷上性能を維持することができる。
【0008】
【発明の実施の形態】
図1に本発明の空気入りタイヤのトレッドパターンの一例を示す。図1において、トレッド面1には、タイヤセンターラインCLを中心として左右両側にそれぞれタイヤ接地幅Wの16〜23%となるトレッド面の領域に、タイヤセンターラインCLを挟んで左右両側にタイヤ周方向Rに延びる主溝2をそれぞれ1本づつ互いに対称位置に設けている。ここで、タイヤ接地幅Wとは、JATMA(1999年版)に規定されるリムにタイヤを組み込んで180kPaの内圧を充填し、最大負荷能力の88%の荷重を加えたときに測定される接地幅をいう。
【0009】
主溝2をそれぞれ1本づつ合計2本としたのは、2本を越えるとトレッド面1における溝面積が大となり、氷上性能が低下するからである。主溝2は、タイヤ接地幅Wの6〜9%の溝幅を有する。溝幅が6%未満では狭すぎて主溝2に雪の入り込みが悪くなり、一方、9%超では大きすぎてトレッド面1における溝面積が大となるからである。また、主溝2は、タイヤ周方向Rにストレート状又はジグザグ状に延びていればよい。主溝2の溝深さは、5.0mm〜11.5mmであるとよい。
【0010】
トレッド面1は、主溝2により幅方向にセンター部Mと両ショルダー部Sとの3域に区画される。センター部Mは、一方の主溝2の内側端から他方の主溝2の内側端までの領域である。各ショルダー部Sは、それぞれの主溝2の外側端から接地端までの領域である。
【0011】
センター部Mおよびショルダー部Sには、それぞれ、タイヤ幅方向に延びるラグ溝3、4が設けられている。センター部Mのラグ溝3の溝幅aは、タイヤ接地幅Wの12〜16%にしている。溝幅aが12%未満では狭くなりすぎて雪柱剪断力が十分でなくなり、一方、16%ではトレッド面1における溝面積が大きくなりすぎてしまう。また、ショルダー部Sのラグ溝4の溝幅bは、タイヤ接地幅Wの6〜14%にしている。溝幅aにおけると同様な理由からである。そして、センター部Mのラグ溝3の溝幅aをショルダー部Sのラグ溝4の溝幅bよりも大きくしている。前述したように雪離れをよくするためである。ラグ溝3およびラグ溝4のそれぞれの溝深さは、主溝2の溝深さと同じか又は3.0mm〜11.5mmとするとよい。ラグ溝3およびラグ溝4は、それぞれ、タイヤセンターラインCLに対して直交する方向に配置されるのがよい。直交する方向とすると、雪柱剪断力が大きくなるからである。
【0012】
ここで、主溝2の溝幅、ラグ溝3の溝幅aおよびラグ溝4の溝幅bは、それぞれ、シースルー幅(溝の一端から他端を見たときの見通し幅)である。
【0013】
また、これらラグ溝3、4と主溝2とによって形成されるブロック5の表面には、タイヤ幅方向にサイプ6が設けられている。氷上性能を高めるためである。サイプ6は、タイヤ周方向Rに並べて複数本配置すればよく、また、その幅は0.3mm〜2.0mm、その深さは3.0mm〜11.5mmとするのがよい。サイプ6はストレート状又はジグザグ状のいずれでもよい(図1では、ストレート状に延びている)。
【0014】
図2に本発明の空気入りタイヤのトレッドパターンの別例を示す。図2では、サイプ6がジグザグ状にタイヤ幅方向に延びてブロック5を横断していることを除いて、図1におけると実質的に同様である。
【0015】
【実施例】
タイヤサイズ195/65 R15を共通にし、トレッドパターンを異にする空気入りタイヤを作製した(従来例、実施例1〜10、比較例1〜23)。
【0016】
実施例1〜10および比較例1〜23は、図2に示すトレッドパターンを有するが、タイヤ接地幅Wに対するセンター部ラグ溝幅(%)、ショルダー部ラグ溝幅(%)、主溝位置(%)、主溝幅(%)を表1〜表5に示すように変化させたものである。一方、従来例は、図3に示すトレッドパターンを有するタイヤである。図3におけるタイヤ接地幅Wに対するセンター部ラグ溝幅(%)、ショルダー部ラグ溝幅(%)、主溝位置(%)、主溝幅(%)を表1〜表5に示す。
【0017】
これらのタイヤにつき、氷上性能および雪上性能を下記により評価した。この結果を表1〜表5に示す。
【0018】
氷上性能の評価方法

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a pneumatic tire having improved performance on snow while maintaining performance on ice.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, in a pneumatic tire, if the contact area of the tread surface is increased to increase the performance on ice, the groove area decreases and the performance on snow decreases. It was very difficult. Also, in general market needs, improvement of performance on ice is the main purpose of development. Technically, there is a technology that emphasizes improvement of performance on ice while maintaining performance on snow (ie, emphasis on performance on ice). Most of them (JP-A-6-171317, JP-A-7-186633, JP-A-10-44719, etc.).
[0003]
However, it is also important to improve the performance on snow without degrading the performance on ice. In particular, tires for snow competition are required to exhibit high performance not only on ice but also on snow.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
An object of the present invention is to provide a pneumatic tire with improved performance on snow while maintaining performance on ice (that is, without impairing performance on ice). Here, the performance on ice refers to braking performance, drive performance, and mobility on the ice road surface, and the performance on snow refers to braking performance, drive performance, and mobility on the snow road surface.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The pneumatic tire of the present invention has a groove width of 6 to 9% of the tire ground contact width W in the region of the tread surface that is 16 to 23% of the tire ground contact width W on each of the left and right sides around the tire center line. In addition, a main groove extending in the tire circumferential direction is provided in a symmetrical position on each of the left and right sides of the tire center line, and the tread surface is divided into three regions in the width direction of the center portion and both shoulder portions by these main grooves. Further, lug grooves extending in the tire width direction are provided in these three regions, the groove width of the lug groove in the center portion is set to 12 to 16% of the tire ground contact width W, and the groove width of the lug groove in the shoulder portion is set to the tire ground contact width W. 6-14% and the groove width of the lug groove in the center portion is larger than the groove width of the lug groove in the shoulder portion, and a sipe is provided in the tire width direction on the surface of the block formed by the lug groove and the main groove Characterized in that was.
[0006]
As described above, since the main grooves extending in the tire circumferential direction are provided on the left and right sides of the tire center line (center of the contact width) (two in total) at symmetrical positions with each other, Snow can get into the tires, preventing tire skidding. In addition, since the lug grooves are provided in the three regions of the center portion and the both shoulder portions, the performance on snow can be enhanced by the snow column shearing force caused by the snow entering the lug grooves when the snow road runs. In addition, when running on snowy roads, the ground contact pressure is greater than the shoulder and the width of the center lug groove is greater than the width of the shoulder lug groove. Snow drainage is improved and snow performance is further improved.
[0007]
On the other hand, since the sipe is provided on the surface of the block in the tire width direction, the performance on ice can be maintained by the edge effect of the sipe when traveling on the icy road.
[0008]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
FIG. 1 shows an example of a tread pattern of the pneumatic tire of the present invention. In FIG. 1, the tread surface 1 has tire treads on both the left and right sides of the tire center line CL in the tread surface region that is 16 to 23% of the tire ground contact width W on the left and right sides of the tire center line CL. One main groove 2 extending in the direction R is provided at a symmetrical position. Here, the tire contact width W is a contact width measured when a tire is incorporated into a rim prescribed in JATMA (1999 edition), an internal pressure of 180 kPa is filled, and a load of 88% of the maximum load capacity is applied. Say.
[0009]
The reason why the number of the main grooves 2 is two in total is that if the number exceeds two, the groove area on the tread surface 1 becomes large, and the performance on ice decreases. The main groove 2 has a groove width of 6 to 9% of the tire ground contact width W. This is because if the groove width is less than 6%, it is too narrow and snow enters the main groove 2, while if it exceeds 9%, it is too large and the groove area on the tread surface 1 becomes large. Moreover, the main groove 2 should just extend in the tire peripheral direction R at the straight shape or the zigzag shape. The groove depth of the main groove 2 is preferably 5.0 mm to 11.5 mm.
[0010]
The tread surface 1 is partitioned by the main groove 2 into three regions of the center portion M and both shoulder portions S in the width direction. The center portion M is a region from the inner end of one main groove 2 to the inner end of the other main groove 2. Each shoulder portion S is a region from the outer end of each main groove 2 to the ground end.
[0011]
The center part M and the shoulder part S are respectively provided with lug grooves 3 and 4 extending in the tire width direction. The groove width a of the lug groove 3 of the center portion M is set to 12 to 16% of the tire ground contact width W. If the groove width a is less than 12%, the snow column shear force becomes too small, and if it is 16%, the groove area on the tread surface 1 becomes too large. Further, the groove width b of the lug groove 4 of the shoulder portion S is set to 6 to 14% of the tire ground contact width W. This is because of the same reason as in the groove width a. And the groove width a of the lug groove 3 of the center part M is made larger than the groove width b of the lug groove 4 of the shoulder part S. This is to improve snow separation as described above. The groove depth of each of the lug groove 3 and the lug groove 4 is preferably the same as the groove depth of the main groove 2 or 3.0 mm to 11.5 mm. Each of the lug grooves 3 and the lug grooves 4 is preferably arranged in a direction orthogonal to the tire center line CL. This is because the snow column shear force increases when the directions are orthogonal.
[0012]
Here, the groove width of the main groove 2, the groove width a of the lug groove 3, and the groove width b of the lug groove 4 are respectively see-through widths (line of sight when the other end is viewed from one end of the groove).
[0013]
A sipe 6 is provided in the tire width direction on the surface of the block 5 formed by the lug grooves 3 and 4 and the main groove 2. This is to improve the performance on ice. A plurality of sipes 6 may be arranged side by side in the tire circumferential direction R, and the width is preferably 0.3 mm to 2.0 mm, and the depth is preferably 3.0 mm to 11.5 mm. The sipe 6 may be either a straight shape or a zigzag shape (extends in a straight shape in FIG. 1).
[0014]
FIG. 2 shows another example of the tread pattern of the pneumatic tire of the present invention. 2 is substantially the same as that in FIG. 1 except that the sipe 6 extends in the tire width direction in a zigzag manner and crosses the block 5.
[0015]
【Example】
Pneumatic tires having a common tire size 195/65 R15 and different tread patterns were produced (conventional examples, examples 1 to 10, and comparative examples 1 to 23).
[0016]
Examples 1 to 10 and Comparative Examples 1 to 23 have the tread pattern shown in FIG. 2, but the center lug groove width (%), shoulder lug groove width (%), and main groove position ( %) And the main groove width (%) are changed as shown in Tables 1 to 5. On the other hand, the conventional example is a tire having a tread pattern shown in FIG. Table 1 to Table 5 show the center lug groove width (%), the shoulder lug groove width (%), the main groove position (%), and the main groove width (%) with respect to the tire contact width W in FIG.
[0017]
About these tires, the performance on ice and the performance on snow were evaluated by the following. The results are shown in Tables 1-5.
[0018]
Evaluation method on ice :
An approximately 800m course that includes multiple curves is created on a frozen lake, the test tires are installed in a standard rim (15x6JJ), filled with 180kPa internal pressure, and then mounted on all wheels of a 4WD vehicle. The driver traveled the course with the vehicle, measured the required time at that time, found the average value, and converted it into an index with the required time of the conventional example as 100. The larger the index value, the shorter the required time and the better the performance on ice.
[0019]
Evaluation method on snow :
Multiple drivers who have been trained by setting a course of about 1 km on a forest road with a snow cover of about 10 cm, incorporating test tires into a standard rim (15 x 6 JJ), filling the internal pressure of 180 kPa, and mounting them on all wheels of a 4WD vehicle Then, the vehicle was run on the course, the required time at that time was measured, the average value was obtained, and converted into an index with the required time of the conventional example as 100. The larger the index value, the shorter the required time and the better on-snow performance.

[0026]
In Table 4, Comparative Examples 15 to 18 are cases where the main groove width is too large, and Comparative Examples 19 to 20 are cases where it is too small. In Table 5, Comparative Example 21 is a case where the center lug groove width is too small and the center lug groove width is equal to the shoulder lug groove width, and Comparative Example 22 is the center lug groove width being too small and the center. This is a case where the part lug groove width is smaller than the shoulder part lug groove width, and Comparative Example 23 is a case where the center part lug groove width and the shoulder part lug groove width are equal.
[0027]
As is apparent from Tables 1 to 5, in Examples 1 to 10, it can be seen that the performance on snow is improved while maintaining the performance on ice as compared with the conventional examples and Comparative Examples 1 to 23.
[0028]
