Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、カーカスの外側に配されるタイヤ外皮の構造に係わり、グリップ性能と操縦安定性とを向上させた自動二輪車用タイヤに関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術、及び発明が解決しようとする課題】
自動二輪車用タイヤにおいて、グリップ性能を向上させるためには、トレッドゴムに軟質のゴムを用いることが好ましいが、この軟質のゴムはトレッドのパターンブロックの変形量も大きくなるなど、トレッド剛性が過小となり操縦安定性が著しく低下する。
【0003】
このような二律背反の関係にあるグリップ性能とトレッド剛性とを両立させるために、従来、トレッドゴムに、トレッド面をなす軟質ゴムからなるキャップゴムと、その内側に比される硬質ゴムからなるベースゴムとの2層構造を用いることが提案されている。
【0004】
しかし、自動二輪車には、旋回時、車体を大きく傾斜させ、そのとき生じるキャンバースラストを遠心力に対抗させて安定走行を維持するという特性が要求される結果、前述の如き2層構造のトレッドゴムを採用しただけでは、ショルダー側のトレッド剛性(ショルダー剛性)およびタイヤ全体の横剛性(タイヤ横剛性)をバランス良くかつ充分に確保することは難しかった。
【0005】
そこで、近年、グリップ性能や乗り心地性を高いレベルで確保しながら、直進時及び旋回時の操縦安定性を向上しうる構造のタイヤが強く望まれている。
【0006】
特に、モトクロス用タイヤの如く過酷な条件で使用されるものでは、前記ショルダー剛性およびタイヤ横剛性の要求も強い反面、オフロードでのトラクション性を高めるために、ショルダー側のブロックをトレッド中央側に比して深く形成する傾向にある。従って、前記ショルダー剛性の不足をより顕著とするとともに、ショルダー側のブロックにブロック欠けなどの損傷を招きやすいという問題もある。
【0007】
そこで本発明は、ビード部間を跨るタイヤ外皮を、軟質の外側ゴムと硬質の内側ゴムとで形成し、しかもこの内側ゴムの基部の厚さをタイヤ赤道からその内端部まで漸増させることを基本として、グリップ性能や乗り心地性を高いレベルで確保しながら、ショルダー剛性およびタイヤ横剛性をバランス良くかつ充分に高めて操縦安定性を向上しうる自動二輪車用タイヤの提供を目的としている。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段】
前記目的を達成するために、本願請求項1の発明は、
トレッド部からサイドウォール部をへてビード部のビードコアに至るカーカスの外側に、トレッド面をなすトレッドゴムとサイドウォール面をなすサイドウォールゴムとからなる外側ゴム、及びこの外側ゴムと前記カーカスとの間に介在しかつ半径方向両内端部がリムフランジ高さ近傍位置で途切れる内側ゴムを設けるとともに、
前記外側ゴムのゴム硬さHs1(デュロメータA硬さ)は55〜75度、かつ内側ゴムのゴム硬さHs2(デュロメータA硬さ)は60〜80度かつ外側ゴムのゴム硬さHs1より大、
しかも、前記トレッド面にタイヤ周方向と交わる向きにトレッド縁にのびる横溝を含むトレッド溝を設け、
かつ内側ゴムは、前記横溝の溝底位置及び前記サイドウォール部において、厚さがタイヤ赤道から前記内端部まで漸増する基部を有するとともに、
タイヤ赤道上の又はタイヤ赤道に最も近い前記横溝の溝底を通り前記カーカスに垂直な線上での内側ゴムの厚さTbqと外側ゴムの厚さTaqとは次式(1)を、
かつ前記トレッド縁を通り前記カーカスに垂直な線上における前記横溝の溝底での内側ゴムの厚さTbeと外側ゴムの厚さTaeとは次式(2)を満たすことを特徴としている。
0.1≦Tbq/(Taq+Tbq)≦0.2 −−−(1)
0.3≦Tbe/(Tae+Tbe)≦0.6 −−−(2)
【0009】
また請求項2の発明では、前記トレッドゴムとサイドウォールゴムとは同組成のゴムからなることを特徴としている。
【0011】
また請求項の発明では、前記内側ゴムは、前記周方向に隣り合う横溝の溝底位置間のトレッド面がなすトレッド陸部において前記基部からトレッド陸部内で***する***部を具え、
タイヤ赤道上の又はタイヤ赤道に最も近い前記***部頂面を通り前記カーカスに垂直な線上での内側ゴムの厚さTdqと外側ゴムの厚さTcqとは次式(3)を、
かつ前記トレッド縁又はトレッド縁に最も近い前記***部頂面を通り前記カーカスに垂直な線上における内側ゴムの厚さTdeと外側ゴムの厚さTceとは次式(4)を満たすことを特徴としている。
0.3≦Tdq/(Tcq+Tdq)≦0.6 −−−(3)
0.4≦Tde/(Tce+Tde)≦0.8 −−−(4)
【0012】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施の形態を、図示例とともに説明する。
図1において、自動二輪車用タイヤ1は、トレッド部2と、その両端からタイヤ半径方向内方にのびるサイドウォール部3と、各サイドウォール部3の内方端に位置するビード部4とを具える。
【0013】
なお本例では、自動二輪車用タイヤ1がモトクロス用タイヤとして形成された場合を例示しており、子午断面において、トレッド面2Sは、凸円弧状に滑らかに湾曲し、かつトレッド縁E、E間の巾がタイヤ最大巾になるよう形成されている。又トレッド部2は、高い旋回性能を確保するため、トレッド面2S上の赤道点とトレッド縁Eとの間の半径方向距離Lc及びタイヤ軸方向距離Leの比Lc/Leであるキャンバー値を0.45〜0.65としている。同図には約0.58の場合を例示している。
【0014】
又自動二輪車用タイヤ1には、前記ビード部4、4間を跨る、本例では、バイアス構造のカーカス6を設けている。
【0015】
前記カーカス6は、トレッド部2からサイドウォール部3をへてビード部4のビードコア5に至る本体部6Aの両側に、前記ビードコア5の廻りで折り返されて係止される折返し部6Bを具える。この本体部6Aと折返し部6Bとの間には、ビードコア5からタイヤ半径方向外方に先細状にのびるビードエーペックスゴム8が配され、ビード部4の剛性及び強度を高めている。
【0016】
又前記カーカス6は、カーカスコードをタイヤ周方向に対して25〜60度の角度で傾斜配列した複数枚(本例では3枚)のカーカスプライからなり、各カーカスコードがプライ間相互で互いに交差するよう傾斜の向きを違えている。カーカスコードとしては、ナイロン、ポリエステル、レーヨン等の有機繊維コードが好ましく採用される。
【0017】
なお要求によっては、前記カーカス6の外側には、カーカス6を路面からの衝撃に対して保護し、かつトレッド部2に受けた外傷がカーカス6に達するのを防止する目的で、ブレーカを設けることもできる。本例ではブレーカを設けない場合を例示しているが、もし設ける時には、ブレーカは、前記カーカス6と同様の有機繊維コードからなるブレーカコードを前記カーカスコードと略等しい角度範囲で配列した1枚以上のプライによって形成する。
【0018】
次に、トレッド面2Sには、図2に示すように、タイヤ周方向と交わる向きでトレッド縁Eにのびる、即ちトレッド縁Eで開口する横溝Gyを含むトレッド溝Gを設けている。
【0019】
詳しくは、トレッド溝Gは、本例では、前記トレッド縁E、E間をタイヤ軸方向にのびる横溝Gyと、各横溝Gy、Gy間を横切る周方向の縦溝Gmとを具え、これによってブロックBが隔置するブロックパターンを形成している。
【0020】
前記横溝Gyは、トレッド面2Sからの溝深Dy(例えば16.5mm)を略一定とした深溝によって形成され、本例では、タイヤ子午断面(図1に示す)において、溝底YSの輪郭線Xは、トレッド面2Sと略同心円状をなすとともに、サイドウォール面3Sとは略同円弧状に接続している。
【0021】
又縦溝Gmは、その溝深さDmが前記横溝Gyの溝深さDy以下であって、直進時に接地するトレッド中央領域Ccに配する縦溝Gm1は、その外側のトレッドショルダー領域Csに配する縦溝Gm2よりも浅底に形成している。
【0022】
そして本発明では、図2のI−I線(溝底YSを通る)断面図である図1に示すように、前記カーカス6の外側に配されかつビード部4、4間を跨るタイヤ外皮10を、外側ゴム11と内側ゴム12との2層構造としている。
【0023】
ここで、前記外側ゴム11は、ゴム硬さHs1(デュロメータA硬さ)が55〜75度の比較的軟質のゴムからなり、トレッド面2Sをなすトレッドゴム2Gと、サイドウォール面3Sをなすサイドウォールゴム3Gとから形成される。本例では、このトレッドゴム2Gと、サイドウォールゴム3Gとが互いに同組成のゴムからなる場合を例示しており、これによって、サイドウォール面3Sにもトレッド面2Sと同様の耐摩耗性、および耐カット性が付与できモトクロス用タイヤとして好ましい態様となる。
【0024】
又前記内側ゴム12は、ゴム硬さHs2(デュロメータA硬さ)が60〜80度かつ前記外側ゴム11のゴム硬さHs1より大な硬質のゴムからなり、外側ゴム11とカーカス6との間に介在するとともに、この内側ゴム12の半径方向両内端部12Eは、リムフランジ高さ近傍位置Kで途切れている。なお「リムフランジ高さ近傍位置K」とは、例えばJATMA等の規格で規定される正規リムのリムフランジ上端高さHFを中心とした半径方向に±10mm以内の高さ領域を意味する。
【0025】
そして前記内側ゴム12は、前記横溝Gyの溝底YSの位置及び前記サイドウォール部3において、厚さがタイヤ赤道Cから前記内端部12Eまで漸増する基部13を具えている。
【0026】
又この基部13において、本例では、タイヤ赤道C上の前記横溝Gyの溝底YSを通り前記カーカス6に垂直な線上での内側ゴム12の厚さTbqと、外側ゴム11の厚さTaqとは次式(1)を満たしている。
0.1≦Tbq/(Taq+Tbq)≦0.2 −−−(1)
この内側ゴム12の厚さTbqは、前記基部13自体の厚さに相当する。又横溝Gyがタイヤ赤道C上に存在しない、即ち、例えばタイヤ赤道C上に周方向リブが連続して通るトレッドパターンの場合には、タイヤ赤道Cに最も近い横溝Gyの溝底YSを通り前記カーカス6に垂直な線上における前記厚さTaq、Tbqを採用する。
【0027】
さらに、この基部13においては、本例では、前記トレッド縁Eを通り前記カーカス6に垂直な線上における前記横溝Gyの溝底YSでの内側ゴム12の厚さTbeと、外側ゴム11の厚さTaeとは次式(2)を満たしている。
0.3≦Tbe/(Tae+Tbe)≦0.6 −−−(2)
この内側ゴム12の厚さTbeも同様に、前記基部13自体の厚さに相当している。
【0028】
このように、トレッド部2だけでなくサイドウォール部3を含むタイヤ外皮10全体を、軟質の外側ゴム11と硬質の内側ゴム12との2層構造とし、しかもこの内側ゴム12の基部13の厚さを、タイヤ赤道Cからその内端部12Eまで漸増している。
【0029】
従って、グリップ性能や乗り心地性を向上させながら、ショルダー剛性およびタイヤ横剛性をバランス良くかつ充分に確保することができる。特に、前記式(1)、(2)に示す如く、タイヤ外皮10に占める内側ゴム12の厚さの割合自体も、タイヤ赤道C側からトレッド縁E側まで増加させることにより、前記効果をより有効に発揮させることが可能となるる。トレッド縁E側のブロック欠けの抑制にも役立つ。
【0030】
なおゴム硬さHs1が55度未満では、耐摩耗性が低下し、逆に75度を超えるとグリップ性や乗り心地性が悪化する。又ゴム硬さHs2が60度未満では、ショルダー剛性およびタイヤ横剛性が不足し、操縦安定性の低下を招くとともにブロック欠けの発生傾向となり、逆に80度を超えると剛性が過大となって乗り心地性を悪化する。なお前記ゴム硬さの差(Hs2−Hs1)は、5〜15度の範囲が好ましい。
【0031】
又値Tbq/(Taq+Tbq)および値Tbe/(Tae+Tbe)が、夫々0.1未満および0.3未満では、剛性不足となって操縦安定性が低下し、逆に夫々0.2より大及び0.6より大では、剛性過多となって乗り心地性の低下を招く。
【0032】
さらに前記内側ゴム12では、図2のII−II線(ブロックBを通る)断面図である図3に示すように、周方向に隣り合う横溝Gy、Gy間のトレッド面2Sがなすトレッド陸部14(本例ではブロックB)において、前記基部13からトレッド陸部14内で***する***部15を具えている。
【0033】
なお***部15は、本例では、基部13からの高さが一定な等高面部15Aを有する断面略台形状に形成している。
【0034】
そして、この***部15において、タイヤ赤道C上の前記***部15の頂面15Sを通り前記カーカス6に垂直な線上での内側ゴム12の厚さTdqと外側ゴム11の厚さTcqとは次式(3)を満たしている。
0.3≦Tdq/(Tcq+Tdq)≦0.6 −−−(3)
この内側ゴム12の厚さTdqは、前記基部13と***部15との厚さの和に相当する。又***部15がタイヤ赤道C上に存在しない、即ち、例えばタイヤ赤道C上に縦溝Gmが連続して通るトレッドパターンの場合には、タイヤ赤道Cに最も近い***部15の頂面15Sを通り前記カーカス6に垂直な線上における前記厚さTcq、Tdqを採用する。なお前記頂面15Sとは、***部15の外面のうち、前記基部13から最も隔たる面部であって、本例では前記等高面部15Aに相当する。
【0035】
さらに、この***部15においては、トレッド縁E又はトレッド縁Eに最も近い***部15の頂面15Sを通り前記カーカス6に垂直な線上における内側ゴム12の厚さTdeと外側ゴム11の厚さTceとは次式(4)を満たしている。
0.4≦Tde/(Tce+Tde)≦0.8 −−−(4)
【0036】
このように、トレッド陸部14内に、内側ゴム12の***部15を設けているため、各トレッド陸部14の剛性及び強度を充分に確保できる。また前記式(3)、(4)に示す如く、トレッド陸部14において、タイヤ外皮10に占める内側ゴム12の厚さの割合を、タイヤ赤道C側よりもトレッド縁E側で高めているため、ショルダー剛性およびタイヤ横剛性の増加により貢献でき、かつブロック欠けの抑制にもいっそう役立つ。
【0037】
なお、値Tdq/(Tcq+Tdq)および値Tde/(Tce+Tde)が、夫々0.3未満および0.4未満では、剛性不足となって操縦安定性が低下し、逆に夫々0.6より大及び0.8より大では、剛性過多となって乗り心地性の低下を招く。
【0038】
以上、本発明の特に好ましい実施形態について詳述したが、本発明は図示の実施形態に限定されることがなく、バイアス構造の他ラジアル構造を採用することができ、又オフロード兼用タイヤ或いはオンロード用タイヤとして、トレッドパターンを含め種々の態様に変形して実施しうる。
【0039】
又外側ゴム11として、トレッドゴム2Gとサイドウォールゴム3Gとを異なるゴム組成とすることもでき、係る場合には双方のゴム2G、3Gのゴム硬さが55〜75度の範囲であり、かつ内側ゴムのゴム硬さHs2より小とする。
【0040】
【実施例】
図1に示す構造のタイヤサイズ110/100−18のタイヤを、表1の仕様に基づき試作するとともに、各試供タイヤの耐摩耗性能、グリップ性能、ブロック欠け、乗り心地性、操縦安定性をテストし、その結果を表1に記載した。
【0041】
なお試供タイヤは、図2のトレッドパターンを有し、かつカーカスとしてポリエステルコード(1670dtex)からなる3枚のプライを用いている。
又前輪用タイヤは、タイヤサイズが80/100−21、タイヤ外皮が1層構造、図2のトレッドパターンを有し、かつカーカスとしてナイロンコード(940dtex)からなる3枚のプライを用いている。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a structure of a tire skin disposed on the outside of a carcass, and relates to a motorcycle tire having improved grip performance and steering stability.
[0002]
[Background Art and Problems to be Solved by the Invention]
In order to improve grip performance in motorcycle tires, it is preferable to use a soft rubber for the tread rubber. However, this soft rubber has a small amount of deformation in the pattern block of the tread and the tread rigidity is too low. Steering stability is significantly reduced.
[0003]
In order to achieve both the grip performance and the tread rigidity that are in a trade-off relationship, conventionally, a tread rubber is made of a soft rubber that forms the tread surface, and a base rubber made of hard rubber compared to the inside. It is proposed to use a two-layer structure.
[0004]
However, motorcycles are required to have a characteristic of maintaining a stable running by tilting the vehicle body when turning, and maintaining the stable running by counteracting the camber thrust generated at that time. As a result, the tread rubber having the two-layer structure as described above is required. It is difficult to secure a sufficient balance between the tread rigidity on the shoulder side (shoulder rigidity) and the lateral rigidity of the entire tire (tire lateral rigidity).
[0005]
Therefore, in recent years, there is a strong demand for a tire having a structure that can improve steering stability during straight traveling and turning while ensuring grip performance and riding comfort at a high level.
[0006]
In particular, when used under harsh conditions such as motocross tires, the shoulder rigidity and tire lateral rigidity are strongly required, but the shoulder block is placed on the center of the tread to improve off-road traction. It tends to form deeper than that. Therefore, there is a problem that the shoulder rigidity is more insufficient, and the shoulder block is liable to be damaged such as a chipped block.
[0007]
Therefore, the present invention is to form a tire skin straddling between the bead portions with a soft outer rubber and a hard inner rubber, and to gradually increase the thickness of the base portion of the inner rubber from the tire equator to the inner end thereof. Basically, the object is to provide a tire for a motorcycle capable of improving the steering stability by improving the shoulder rigidity and the lateral tire rigidity in a well-balanced and sufficiently balanced manner while ensuring a high level of grip performance and ride comfort.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the object, the invention of claim 1 of the present application
Outside the carcass extending from the tread portion through the sidewall portion to the bead core of the bead portion, an outer rubber composed of a tread rubber forming a tread surface and a sidewall rubber forming a sidewall surface, and the outer rubber and the carcass In addition to providing an inner rubber that is interposed between both ends in the radial direction in the vicinity of the rim flange height,
The rubber hardness Hs1 (durometer A hardness) of the outer rubber is 55 to 75 degrees, the rubber hardness Hs2 (durometer A hardness) of the inner rubber is 60 to 80 degrees, and is larger than the rubber hardness Hs1 of the outer rubber.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
In FIG. 1, a motorcycle tire 1 includes a tread portion 2, sidewall portions 3 extending inward in the tire radial direction from both ends thereof, and bead portions 4 positioned at inner ends of the sidewall portions 3. Yeah.
[0013]
In this example, the motorcycle tire 1 is illustrated as a motocross tire. In the meridional section, the tread surface 2S is smoothly curved into a convex arc shape, and between the tread edges E and E. width of is formed so that the maximum width tire. Further, the tread portion 2 has a camber value that is a ratio Lc / Le of the radial distance Lc between the equator point on the tread surface 2S and the tread edge E and the tire axial distance Le to ensure high turning performance. .45 to 0.65. In the figure, the case of about 0.58 is illustrated.
[0014]
Further, the motorcycle tire 1 is provided with a carcass 6 having a bias structure, which extends between the bead portions 4 and 4.
[0015]
The carcass 6 includes folded portions 6B that are folded and locked around the bead core 5 on both sides of the main body portion 6A that extends from the tread portion 2 through the sidewall portion 3 to the bead core 5 of the bead portion 4. . Between the main body portion 6A and the folded portion 6B, a bead apex rubber 8 which extends in a tapered shape outward from the bead core 5 in the radial direction of the tire is arranged to increase the rigidity and strength of the bead portion 4.
[0016]
The carcass 6 is composed of a plurality of carcass plies (three in this example) in which carcass cords are inclined and arranged at an angle of 25 to 60 degrees with respect to the tire circumferential direction. The direction of the inclination is different. As the carcass cord, an organic fiber cord such as nylon, polyester, or rayon is preferably employed.
[0017]
If necessary, a breaker may be provided outside the carcass 6 for the purpose of protecting the carcass 6 against an impact from the road surface and preventing trauma received on the tread portion 2 from reaching the carcass 6. You can also. In this example, the case where the breaker is not provided is illustrated. However, when the breaker is provided, the breaker is one or more in which breaker cords made of organic fiber cords similar to the carcass 6 are arranged in an angle range substantially equal to the carcass cords. It is formed by ply.
[0018]
Next, as shown in FIG. 2, the tread surface 2 </ b> S is provided with a tread groove G including a lateral groove Gy extending on the tread edge E in a direction crossing the tire circumferential direction, that is, opening at the tread edge E.
[0019]
Specifically, in this example, the tread groove G includes a transverse groove Gy extending in the tire axial direction between the tread edges E and E, and a circumferential longitudinal groove Gm crossing between the transverse grooves Gy and Gy, thereby blocking A block pattern in which B is spaced apart is formed.
[0020]
The lateral groove Gy is formed by a deep groove whose groove depth Dy (for example, 16.5 mm) from the tread surface 2S is substantially constant. In this example, the contour line of the groove bottom YS in the tire meridional section (shown in FIG. 1). X is substantially concentric with the tread surface 2S, and is connected with the sidewall surface 3S in a substantially arcuate shape.
[0021]
Further, the vertical groove Gm has a groove depth Dm that is equal to or less than the groove depth Dy of the horizontal groove Gy, and the vertical groove Gm1 disposed in the tread central region Cc that contacts the ground during straight traveling is disposed in the outer tread shoulder region Cs. It is formed shallower than the vertical groove Gm2.
[0022]
In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, which is a cross-sectional view taken along the line II (passing through the groove bottom YS) in FIG. 2, the tire skin 10 is arranged outside the carcass 6 and straddles between the bead portions 4, 4. Is a two-layer structure of an outer rubber 11 and an inner rubber 12.
[0023]
The outer rubber 11 is made of a relatively soft rubber having a rubber hardness Hs1 (durometer A hardness) of 55 to 75 degrees, and the tread rubber 2G forming the tread surface 2S and the side forming the sidewall surface 3S. It is formed from wall rubber 3G. In this example, the case where the tread rubber 2G and the side wall rubber 3G are made of the rubber having the same composition is illustrated, whereby the side wall surface 3S has the same wear resistance as the tread surface 2S, and Cut resistance can be imparted, and this is a preferred embodiment as a motocross tire.
[0024]
The inner rubber 12 is made of a hard rubber having a rubber hardness Hs2 (durometer A hardness) of 60 to 80 degrees and larger than the rubber hardness Hs1 of the outer rubber 11, and between the outer rubber 11 and the carcass 6. Further, both inner end portions 12E in the radial direction of the inner rubber 12 are interrupted at a position K in the vicinity of the rim flange height. The “rim flange height vicinity position K” means a height region within ± 10 mm in the radial direction centered on the rim flange upper end height HF of a normal rim defined by a standard such as JATMA.
[0025]
The inner rubber 12 includes a base portion 13 whose thickness gradually increases from the tire equator C to the inner end portion 12E at the position of the groove bottom YS of the lateral groove Gy and the sidewall portion 3.
[0026]
In this base portion 13, in this example, the thickness Tbq of the inner rubber 12 and the thickness Taq of the outer rubber 11 on a line passing through the groove bottom YS of the lateral groove Gy on the tire equator C and perpendicular to the carcass 6 Satisfies the following equation (1).
0.1 ≦ Tbq / (Taq + Tbq) ≦ 0.2 −−− (1)
The thickness Tbq of the inner rubber 12 corresponds to the thickness of the base 13 itself. Further, when the lateral groove Gy does not exist on the tire equator C, that is, for example, in the case of a tread pattern in which circumferential ribs continuously pass on the tire equator C, the lateral groove Gy passes through the groove bottom YS of the lateral groove Gy closest to the tire equator C. The thicknesses Taq and Tbq on a line perpendicular to the carcass 6 are employed.
[0027]
Further, in this base portion 13, in this example, the thickness Tbe of the inner rubber 12 and the thickness of the outer rubber 11 at the groove bottom YS of the lateral groove Gy on the line passing through the tread edge E and perpendicular to the carcass 6. Tae satisfies the following formula (2).
0.3 ≦ Tbe / (Tae + Tbe) ≦ 0.6 −−− (2)
Similarly, the thickness Tbe of the inner rubber 12 corresponds to the thickness of the base portion 13 itself.
[0028]
Thus, not only the tread portion 2 but also the entire tire skin 10 including the sidewall portion 3 has a two-layer structure of the soft outer rubber 11 and the hard inner rubber 12, and the thickness of the base portion 13 of the inner rubber 12 is increased. This is gradually increased from the tire equator C to the inner end 12E.
[0029]
Accordingly, the shoulder rigidity and the tire lateral rigidity can be well balanced and sufficiently ensured while improving the grip performance and the ride comfort. In particular, as shown in the above formulas (1) and (2), the ratio of the thickness of the inner rubber 12 occupying the tire outer shell 10 itself is also increased from the tire equator C side to the tread edge E side. It will be possible to exhibit it effectively. It also helps to suppress block chipping on the tread edge E side.
[0030]
If the rubber hardness Hs1 is less than 55 degrees, the wear resistance is lowered. Conversely, if the rubber hardness Hs1 exceeds 75 degrees, the grip property and the ride comfort are deteriorated. If the rubber hardness Hs2 is less than 60 degrees, the shoulder rigidity and the lateral rigidity of the tire are insufficient, leading to a decrease in steering stability and a tendency to block chipping. Deteriorates comfort. The rubber hardness difference (Hs2-Hs1) is preferably in the range of 5 to 15 degrees.
[0031]
Further, when the value Tbq / (Taq + Tbq) and the value Tbe / (Tae + Tbe) are less than 0.1 and less than 0.3, respectively, the rigidity is insufficient and the steering stability is lowered, and conversely, greater than 0.2 and 0, respectively. If it is larger than .6, the rigidity becomes excessive and the ride comfort is lowered.
[0032]
Further, in the inner rubber 12, as shown in FIG. 3 which is a cross-sectional view taken along the line II-II (through the block B) in FIG. 2, the tread land portion formed by the tread surface 2S between the lateral grooves Gy and Gy adjacent in the circumferential direction. 14 (block B in this example) includes a raised portion 15 that rises from the base portion 13 in the tread land portion 14.
[0033]
In this example, the raised portion 15 is formed in a substantially trapezoidal cross section having a contour surface portion 15A having a constant height from the base portion 13.
[0034]
In the raised portion 15, the thickness Tdq of the inner rubber 12 and the thickness Tcq of the outer rubber 11 on the line passing through the top surface 15S of the raised portion 15 on the tire equator C and perpendicular to the carcass 6 are as follows: Expression (3) is satisfied.
0.3 ≦ Tdq / (Tcq + Tdq) ≦ 0.6 −−− (3)
The thickness Tdq of the inner rubber 12 corresponds to the sum of the thicknesses of the base portion 13 and the raised portion 15. Further, when the raised portion 15 does not exist on the tire equator C, that is, for example, in the case of a tread pattern in which the longitudinal groove Gm continuously passes on the tire equator C, the top surface 15S of the raised portion 15 closest to the tire equator C is provided. The thicknesses Tcq and Tdq on a line perpendicular to the carcass 6 are used. The top surface 15S is a surface portion of the outer surface of the raised portion 15 that is farthest from the base portion 13, and corresponds to the contour surface portion 15A in this example.
[0035]
Further, in the raised portion 15, the thickness Tde of the inner rubber 12 and the thickness of the outer rubber 11 on a line passing through the tread edge E or the top surface 15S of the raised portion 15 closest to the tread edge E and perpendicular to the carcass 6. Tce satisfies the following expression (4).
0.4 ≦ Tde / (Tce + Tde) ≦ 0.8 −−− (4)
[0036]
Thus, since the raised portion 15 of the inner rubber 12 is provided in the tread land portion 14, the rigidity and strength of each tread land portion 14 can be sufficiently ensured. Further, as shown in the above formulas (3) and (4), in the tread land portion 14, the ratio of the thickness of the inner rubber 12 occupying the tire outer skin 10 is higher on the tread edge E side than on the tire equator C side. In addition, it can contribute by increasing the shoulder stiffness and the lateral stiffness of the tire, and further helps to suppress the block chipping.
[0037]
When the value Tdq / (Tcq + Tdq) and the value Tde / (Tce + Tde) are less than 0.3 and less than 0.4, respectively, the rigidity is insufficient and the steering stability is lowered. If it is larger than 0.8, the rigidity becomes excessive and the ride comfort is lowered.
[0038]
As described above, the particularly preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail. However, the present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment , and a radial structure can be adopted in addition to a bias structure, and an off-road combined tire or As an on-road tire, the tire can be modified in various forms including a tread pattern.
[0039]
Further, as the outer rubber 11, the tread rubber 2G and the side wall rubber 3G can have different rubber compositions, in which case the rubber hardness of both the rubbers 2G and 3G is in the range of 55 to 75 degrees, and The inner rubber is smaller than the rubber hardness Hs2.
[0040]
【Example】
A tire of the size 110 / 100-18 having the structure shown in FIG. 1 is prototyped based on the specifications shown in Table 1, and each sample tire is tested for wear resistance, grip performance, chipped blocks, ride comfort, and handling stability. The results are shown in Table 1.
[0041]
The sample tire has the tread pattern of FIG. 2 and uses three plies made of polyester cord (1670 dtex) as the carcass.
The front wheel tire has a tire size of 80 / 100-21, a tire outer layer having a one-layer structure, the tread pattern shown in FIG. 2, and three plies made of nylon cord (940 dtex) as a carcass.
[0042]
