Abstract

PURPOSE:To enhance the traction characteristic in the initial period of service and mid-wear performance of a rib lug type tire by coupling circumferential straight grooves by a step having a specific circumferential inclination, and forming a certain circumferential zigzag groove having a specified ratio of the length of straight portion to the pitch and also a specified angle of groove side wall inclination. CONSTITUTION:A zigzag rib 3 is formed by a zigzag groove 2 in the circumferential direction of the tread surface 1. This zigzag groove 2 is formed by coupling a plurality of circumferential straight groove 10 by a step 11. This step 11 shall have an inclination angle alpha which is over 60 deg. and below 90 deg. to the circumferential direction of tire. The tire circumferential length B of each circumferential straight groove 10 of the zigzag groove 2 shall be related to the pitch P of the zigzag groove 2 as 1/6P<=B<=1/3P. The inclination angle betaof one side wall of the zigzag groove 2 to the radial direction T is set between 5-25 deg.. This can enhance the performance in the initial and middle periods of service.

Conventionally, plug-type pneumatic tires were created as traction-oriented ribbed tires, in which multiple widthwise grooves were provided on the shoulder ribs at intervals in the tire circumferential direction. The required performance includes handling stability, wear resistance, uneven wear resistance, and high-speed durability. Of course, traction performance must also be excellent. Therefore, in order to improve this traction performance, the rib part has a zigzag pattern (in other words, a plurality of fern zag grooves extending in the tire circumferential direction are arranged at intervals in the tire width direction in the center part of the tread surface). ) has been proposed. However, in this rib-lug type pneumatic tire, the rib portion cannot be sufficiently zigzag because of the emphasis on steering stability, wear resistance, and uneven wear resistance, so traction performance is still lacking. That was enough. In addition, after the middle stage of wear during use, the grooves are zigzag, which has the disadvantage of inferior handling stability, drainage performance, and fuel efficiency compared to a pneumatic tire with the same remaining groove depth or a flat tire. .

FIG. 1 is an explanatory plan view showing the tread pattern of the pneumatic tire of the present invention. In Figure 1, Figure 6 (A)
As in , three zigzag grooves 2 are arranged in the center portion of the tread surface 1 in the tire circumferential direction EE. FIG. 6(B) shows the tread pattern of this tire at 70% wear. As can be seen from Figure 1 (I3), at 70% wear, the Zigzag 7M2 still maintains its zigzag shape, although it becomes thinner, so it is compared to a flat pneumatic tire with the same remaining groove depth. This results in poor handling stability, drainage performance, and fuel efficiency.

The other side wall of the zigzag groove 2 may be inclined in the same direction as the one side wall at an inclination angle γ with respect to the radial direction 'F.

Furthermore, the width of the circumferential linear groove 10 of the zigzag groove 2 is preferably 3% to 11% of the tread contact width W, and the width of the stepped portion 11 is preferably 6% to 20% of the tread contact width W. This is because if it is smaller than this range, there is no point in providing the zigzag groove 2, and on the other hand, if it exceeds this range, it becomes impossible to change the zigzag groove 2 into a shape close to a straight groove after the middle stage of wear.
