Abstract

PURPOSE:To enhance on-ice, on-snow running performance by arranging ribs having a specific width in the crown central region of tread, providing blocks or lug grooves in the shoulder parts on both sides, and thereby increasing the resistance against the contracting action in the tire circumferential direction. CONSTITUTION:In a tread pattern of tire, ribs 10 having a width W over 20% of the tread grounding width L are arranged zigzagged in the central region of the crown part, and blocks 4 are arranged in the shoulder parts on both sides. Sipes 12 are provided on the ribs 10 and blocks 4, and lug grooves 5 are arranged at each shoulder edge. If the rib width W is less than 20% of the tread grounding width L, the tread rigidity of the crown central region will be in shortage, so that the macro-slip region will increase and the cohesion force decrease. As a result, the tire can no more work with its full braking and driving performances provided for running on a road covered with ice or pressed snow.

The second studless tire has a tread pattern,
For example, it has become common to have a pattern based on a block 4 surrounded by a main groove 1 as shown in FIG. 7, and to which sipes are added as necessary to improve braking and driving performance. However, the development of this type of studless tire has so far been limited to radial tires, and it has been difficult to put it to practical use in pneumatic tires with a bias structure. For the reasons explained below, bias tires can achieve braking and driving performance on roads with deep snow due to the shearing force of the snow column caught in the main groove, but on smooth water or compacted snow surfaces, the tread's tread relative to the contact surface This was because good braking and driving performance could not be achieved due to the large amount of surface slip.

In FIG. 8, the pneumatic tire T is at a speed ω. It shows the change in the radial direction when rolling on the ground, and in the contact area it changes continuously from the maximum radius r0 to the dynamic load radius r, and in the process of this change, the tread element causes slip between it and the contact surface R. As they pass through the ground plane, they undergo local squirming motion as shown by the arrows. This movement is divided into a macro slip region A, which is faster than the average slip speed, and a micro slip region B, which is slower than the average slip speed. The micro-slip region B is also called the adhesion region, and tires with a large micro-slip region B are said to have good driving performance on smooth water surfaces and compacted snow surfaces.

However, when bias tires are transferred as described above, the cord angle of the casing (bias carcass layer) changes within the ground contact area, and due to the contraction in the tire circumferential direction due to the cord angle change and the shrinkage due to buckling of the casing itself, During braking, the casing at the rear end contracts, causing the tread elements to rise, and during driving, the casing at the front end contracts, causing the trend elements to rise, each of which increases the macro slip area. Therefore, the adhesion region (microslip region B)
As a result, braking and driving performance could not be improved on water or compacted snow surfaces due to the lack of adhesion.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] An object of the present invention is to improve drive performance and braking performance on icy and snowy roads by increasing resistance to the contraction effect in the circumferential direction of the tire that occurs when the tire touches the ground.

A rib having a width is provided, and the tread surfaces on both sides thereof have a tread pattern selected from blocks and lug grooves.

FIG. 1 shows an example of the tread pattern of the pneumatic bias tire for ice and snow roads of the present invention, in which ribs 10 having a width W of 20% or more of the tread contact width are arranged in a zigzag pattern in the central region of the crown. The block 4 is provided in the shoulder area on both sides. Ribs 10 and blocks 4 are each provided with sipes 12 to improve the edge effect. Additionally, a lug groove 5 is provided at the shoulder edge.

In the present invention, the width W of the rib provided in the central region of the crown is required to be at least 20% of the tread contact width, and more preferably at least 25%. If the rib width W is less than 20% of the tread contact width, the tread rigidity in the central region of the crown will be insufficient, resulting in an increase in the macro-slip region and a decrease in adhesion. As a result,
It becomes impossible to exhibit good braking and driving performance on water and snow surfaces.

In principle, the rib 10 should not be provided with the auxiliary groove 2. In particular, providing auxiliary grooves in the width direction of the tire reduces the rigidity of the ribs and causes buckling of the casing.

Furthermore, if the ribs 10 are formed into a zigzag shape as in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the edge effect and drainage performance will be improved, and the braking and driving performance will be further improved.

The shoulder areas on both sides of the central area of the crown have a small effect on the contraction of the tire in the circumferential direction, so these areas are designed to have a block pattern, a lug pattern, or a pattern that is a mixture of these to improve the driving force on icy and snowy roads. .

The rib 10 may be provided with sipes. When providing an auxiliary groove on the rib 10, it is limited to the auxiliary groove 14 in the circumferential direction of the tire, as shown in FIG. 2, and the depth of the groove must be 10% or less of the depth of the main groove 1. be.

In addition, it is preferable that the width W of the rib 10 is not changed in the tire circumferential direction in principle, but as shown in FIG. 3, due to the layout requirements of the tread pattern, the width W It can be changed as follows. However, when changing the lip radius in the circumferential direction in this way, if the change is too large, stress will be concentrated in this part, so the variation range should be limited to 70% of the minimum width. In addition, the minimum width is 20% of the tread contact width.
