Abstract

PURPOSE:To relieve standing wave at high speed running and enhance the durability of a radial tire for car by forming at least those of transverse grooves provided in the tread area which are situated at the shoulder with a depth smaller than the depth of the main groove, and reducing the depth gradually toward the end of the shoulder. CONSTITUTION:On the tread area 2 of a radial tire, blocks 7, 8 are formed consisting of circumferentially stretching main grooves 3, 4 and transverse grooves 5, 6. The depth B of the transverse grooves 5, 6 shall be smaller than the depth A of the main groove 3, and be reducing gradually toward the outer end of the shoulder part. The transverse groove 6 at shoulder increases its width at the tire center side end in the direction across the tire width and communicates to the main groove 4, and the outer end is put in communication with a small straight groove 9 stretching in the tire circumferential direction. This relieves the standing wave likely to be generated in high speed running and enhances the high speed durability.
