In addition, since the rigidity of the block 110 is reduced, the block 110 may be damaged due to traveling on a rough road.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un pneu comportant : une bande de roulement qui entre en contact avec la surface de roulement ; des flancs qui continuent jusque dans la bande de roulement ; des parties concaves allant dans le sens de la circonférence qui sont formées sur la surface extérieure des flancs dans le sens de la circonférence du pneu et qui s'avancent en concave vers l'intérieur dans le sens de la largeur de la bande de roulement ; et des blocs qui sont formés au niveau de l'intérieur des parties concaves allant dans le sens de la circonférence et qui font saillie vers l'extérieur dans le sens de la largeur de la bande de roulement. Dans une coupe transversale comprenant l'axe de rotation du pneu, les flancs ont une surface extérieure côté jante qui est formée depuis le bord circonférentiel extérieur d'un talon de bourrelet, dans lequel les flancs sont séparés d'un rebord de jante auquel le pneu s'attache, jusqu'au bord circonférentiel intérieur des parties concaves allant dans le sens de la circonférence. Dans la coupe transversale mentionnée ci-dessus, les blocs n'atteignent pas une ligne imaginaire qui s'étend depuis le bord circonférentiel intérieur mentionné ci-dessus jusqu'au côté circonférentiel extérieur de la surface extérieure côté jante. Avec ledit pneu, il est possible d'inhiber toute augmentation de la température au niveau des flancs (en particulier sur la section vers le bourrelet) tout en améliorant la durabilité des blocs.
