Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce pattern noise, to improve riding comfortableness (vibrational quality), and to reduce the manufacture cost of a metallic mold by taking a means to specify relationship between the maximum and the minimum pitch of pattern elements and to arrange the right and left pattern elements with their phase difference. CONSTITUTION:Tread pattern elements 2 severally having a fixed pitch are arranged along a circumferential direction on both the right and left sides of the center line 1 of a tire. In this case, the pattern elements 2 have the five kinds of the pitches, whose length(cm) are divided into P1-P5 from the shortest one. The ratio of the maximum pitch Pmax of the pattern element 2 to its minimum pitch Pmin is established to be 1.3<=Pmax/Pmin<=1.7. The circumferential arrangement of the right pattern elements 2 is executed clockwise in a fixed order by taking a position A as a starting point. The arranging order of the pattern elements 2 shall not be repetitive (periodic) on the whole circumference of the tire 1. On the other hand, the arrangement of the left pattern elements 2 is executed unticlockwise from a position C to a position D. Namely phase difference R is given between the right and the left starting point C, A.
