The above-mentioned various measures for improving the maneuverability are, in particular, in the case of passenger car tires, when a rubber having a high hardness is used for the tread, the shear rigidity of the entire tread is improved, and a large core is used. Although it is possible to obtain a nulling force, the disturbance input from the road surface cannot be effectively absorbed by the tread rubber, and vibrations such as road crash noise due to the harshness when riding over bumps and road surface irregularities can be obtained.・ Ride comfort performance will deteriorate.

When the tire corners, the contact length on the outside of the cornering of the tread or on the outside of the turning increases, thereby significantly increasing the contact area. According to an experiment conducted by the inventor, when a radial tire under load rolling is given a slip angle, the area corresponding to the outside of the cornering of the tread is rotated from a point 20% of the effective width of the tread from the central equatorial plane. It was found that the contact length increased remarkably toward the outside in the direction and reached the maximum near the contact edge, especially at 40 to 45%. Therefore, in order to generate a large cornering force and improve maneuverability, it is necessary to increase the circumferential rigidity of this area and suppress an increase in the ground contact length.

The tire according to the present invention is substantially limited to an area where the contact length is significantly increased during cornering, and a pair of tires having JIS height A higher than cap rubber by at least 5 ° is provided in the base portion of the tread. The placement of the hard separating rubber layer enhances the circumferential stiffness of the required area of the tread, which advantageously limits the increase in ground contact length and improves maneuverability. In this case, the usual adverse effects on vibration and riding comfort are caused by the softer cap rubber part that covers the upper part of the separation rubber layer from the tread center area and has excellent wear resistance and skid resistance. Since the vibration caused by the unevenness is absorbed, it is suppressed as much as possible.

In the tread of the embodiment shown in FIG. 2,
The hard separating rubber layer 8 as a base rubber is axially outside while starting from a point P separated from the equatorial plane O by 20% or more of the tread effective width W T and reaching a ground contact end E which is a base point of the tread effective width. The wedge-shaped cross-sectional shape is formed such that the thickness increases toward the end, and the thickness decreases and ends slightly before the side end of the tread. The maximum thickness H S of the separation rubber layer 8 is apex Q up to the level of the wear indicator 9 (Fig. 1), which is usually provided at the bottom of the groove G engraved on the tread, to show the wear limit. However, the separation rubber layer is not only hardness, but also wear resistance,
By applying rubber considering skid resistance etc.,
The apex Q can be set higher than the level of the wear indicator 9. Although the groove is not shown in FIG. 2, the part of the separation rubber layer that is in contact with the groove bottom has a deformed wedge shape because it is necked by it.
