  • test tires were mounted on a rim of 18 ⁇ 7JJ and punctured by rolling on a nail, then the damaged part was disassembled to measure the area of separation of the noise damper from the inner cavity surface of the tread portion due to the noise damper being pulled by the nail.
  • the results are indicated by an index based on the Example 30 being 100, wherein the larger the numerical value, the higher the separation resistance performance is, which is better.
  • the pneumatic tires as Examples 33 to 35 were made by way of test, and then the noise performance under the low temperature environment was tested.
  • the test method was as follows.
  • the sound pressure level was measured by the same method as described above. The results are indicated by an index based on the Example 1 being 100, wherein the larger the numerical value, the smaller the running noise is, which is better.
  • the pneumatic tires as Examples 36 to 40 were made by way of test, and then the uniformity performance after the puncture repair and the noise performance under the low temperature environment were tested.
  • the test methods were as follows.
  • the radial force variation (RFV) was measured by the same method as described above. The results are indicated by an index based on the Example 20 being 100, wherein the larger the numerical value, the smaller the RFV is, which is better.
  • the sound pressure level was measured by the same method as described above. The results are indicated by an index based on the Example 20 being 100, wherein the larger the numerical value, the smaller the running noise is, which is better.
  • the pneumatic tires as Examples 41 to 45 were made by way of test, and then the uniformity performance after the puncture repair and the noise performance under the low temperature environment were tested.
  • the test methods were as follows.
  • the radial force variation (RFV) was measured by the same method as described above. The results are indicated by an index based on the Example 25 being 100, wherein the larger the numerical value, the smaller the RFV is, which is better.
  • the sound pressure level was measured by the same method as described above. The results are indicated by an index based on the Example 25 being 100, wherein the larger the numerical value, the smaller the running noise is, which is better.
