Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pneumatic tire for a ensuring traveling stability at the time of going straight and turning. SOLUTION: In a tread development half width extending from an equator surface CL in a tire width direction to a tread end portion 18A along a tread part 18, if making a 0% to 35 % section from the equator surface CL to the tread development half width as a center area CA, a 35% to 65% section as a middle area MA, and 65% to 100% section as a shoulder area SA, each radius of curvature RC, RM, RS is allowed to be within a range of 0.6<=RM/RC<=0.9, and 0.6<=RS/RM <=0.9. Consequently, an enough grounding area can be ensured at traveling straight, and the maximum grounding area can be ensured while suppressing the generation of unevenness in a grounding pressure distribution at turning during which unevenness in the grounding pressure distribution is liable to be generated by centrifugal force. Therefore, traveling stability during going straight and turning can be ensured.

As described above, when going straight,
In order to improve running stability during turning, the radius of curvature of each contacting portion (tread surface) is increased. However, if the radius of curvature is increased, uneven distribution of pressure (contact pressure) in the tire width direction within the contacting surface. There was a risk of occurrence (buckling). In particular, if the radius of curvature of the portion that touches the ground when turning is increased, the distribution of the contact pressure becomes uneven due to the action of the centrifugal force, and the grip force in the portion where the contact pressure is lost is extremely reduced, and sufficient lateral force (camber Thrust, etc.).
