DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a radial tire for a passenger car that can improve one-sided drift of a vehicle and improve straight running performance.

In recent years, with the improvement of vehicle performance and the improvement of road networks, tires have not only improved performance such as durability, handling stability, and ride comfort, but also the ability to travel a specified distance when the steering wheel is flattened. In the meantime, it is desired to further improve driving comfort by reducing so-called one-sided drift of the vehicle, in which the vehicle drifts to one side with respect to the straight direction line, and improves straight running stability.

Conventionally, this one-sided flow of a vehicle is thought to be caused by the degree of conicity in which the tread portion becomes conical on the left and right sides in the axial direction of the tire, especially due to the difference in the circumferential length of the belt layer. Various measures were taken to increase this.

However, it has been found that the one-sided drift of the vehicle cannot be sufficiently prevented by improving only the conicity.

On the other hand, with recent advances in tire measurement technology, as shown schematically in Fig. 4, the cornering force generated in the tire lateral direction Y when a minute slip angle α is applied to the tire traveling direction X, that is, the lateral force. It has become possible to measure with high accuracy F and the self-lining torque SAT that rotates in the direction of the slip angle α around the vertical axis Z passing through the center of the tire.

Such measurement results are shown using a straight line K, with the camber angle β being O, and the self-lining torque SAT on the horizontal axis and the lateral force F on the vertical axis, as shown in FIG. 5, for example. Also, in the straight line K, the slip angle α is 0 degrees, -0

As described above, in a radial tire, the lateral force F1 self-lining torque SAT is generally generated even when the vehicle is traveling straight. Note that the lateral force F when both the slip angle α and the camber angle β are O is called LFD (lateral force deviation).

In relation to the lateral force F, a lateral force F1 of 1, that is, a self-lining torque SAT, is generated at the intersection of the straight line K and the vertical axis.
The lateral force F when no lateral force F is generated is called the residual CF.It has been found that this residual CF influences the one-sided flow of the vehicle. In other words, when this residual CF is in a positive direction, it means that the vehicle drifts to the right, so the direction and size of the residual CF can be used to evaluate the vehicle's unilateral drift. Therefore, in order to prevent the vehicle from drifting in one direction, It is necessary to reduce this residual CF.

なお、タイヤの組付に際して、前記残余CF。In addition, when assembling the tire, the residual CF is removed.

Self-lining torque SAT changes the side surface of the tire to the right or left with respect to the traveling direction, and when performing so-called table setting or table setting, the self lining torque SAT is 1 for the line of the table set and 2 for the line of the table set as shown in Figure 6. As shown, there are two parallel straight lines. Also, as shown in the same figure, both slip angle α and camber angle β
The average value of lateral force when both are O is called plysteer, and the deviation from each average value is defined as conicity in lateral force F.

Furthermore, in the relationship between the one-sided flow of the vehicle, the residual CF, and the residual self-lining torque SAT, when driving with the steering wheel released, the total self-lining torque SAT becomes O, so at this time, the tire A residual CF will be generated. Usually, a force based on conicity is further applied to this, and a lateral force based on the resultant force of the residual CF and conicity is generated on the vehicle with respect to the tire.

An example of the remaining CF and vehicle flow is shown in FIG. The amount of one-sided drift of this vehicle is the amount of lateral deviation that occurs when the vehicle is driven for 100 meters at a speed of 50 km/h without the handlebars being held, and is measured using tires of size 215SR15 in FIG. 7. It can thus be seen that the residual CF and the vehicle flow have a correlation.

Here, it has been found that the residual CF changes depending on the tread pattern of the tire and the structure of the belt layer, assuming that the conicity is kept below a predetermined value.

Further, as a result of further research by the present inventor regarding the one-sided flow of a vehicle, it was found that the one-sided flow of a vehicle changes depending on the vehicle speed even when traveling on the same road surface and the same distance. As a result of further consideration of this cause and conducting various tests, we found that the speed dependence of the one-sided flow of the vehicle, defined as the difference in the amount of one-sided flow of the vehicle when driving with hands off at 1100 km/h and 20 km/h. is the speed dependence of the residual CF, i.e. 1100kph and 20kph
It was found that there is a correlation with the difference in the amount of residual CF from the case of b. The correlation is shown in Figure 2. Although this means that reducing the residual CF is a prerequisite to reducing the one-sided flow of the vehicle, in order to reduce the change in the one-sided flow of the vehicle due to changes in vehicle speed, it is necessary to reduce the speed dependence of the residual CF. is required.

The effect of the tread pattern on the residual CF is the traction F generated on the block due to the radius difference between the tire equator CO and the tread edge, as shown in Figure 8.
This is considered to be caused by the direction of the rotational moment M due to the braking force FB and its point of application.

It has also been found that the clockwise rotational moment M shown in FIG. 9 generally moves the residual CF to the positive side, while that of FIG. 10 moves it to the negative side.

On the other hand, the residual CF exerted by the structure of the belt layer is caused by the expansion and contraction of the belt within the contact area, and the belt of a radial tire placed in a cross-bly has in-plane shear that causes the cord to move in parallel due to expansion and contraction. It is thought that the residual CF is caused by the deformation of the tread rubber, which causes in-plane shear deformation along with the deformation of the outermost belt ply.

For this reason, when the belt cord b of the outermost belt bridle a as shown in Fig. 11 is tensioned normally, that is, with the right-hand thread, the residual CF is on the negative side, and when it is tensioned in the reverse direction, that is, with the left-hand thread as shown in Fig. 12, the residual CF is negative. Known to move to the side.

他方、残余CFの速度依存性については次のように推論

On the other hand, the speed dependence of the residual CF was inferred as follows.

ある。
As mentioned above, in radial tires, although the rigidity of the tread portion is increased by providing a belt layer made of belt ply on the outside of the carcass in the tread portion, the rigidity of the tread portion is particularly increased when the aspect ratio is 0. In tires with a tire size of 6 or less, the rigidity decreases from the tire equator to a portion of the shoulder, and the tread tends to become flat.

In addition, although the belt layer has a hoop effect by overlapping multiple belt plies with cords in different directions, as the speed increases, the crown part tends to lift due to centrifugal force, and the difference between high speed and low speed increases. In this case, the degree of contact between part of the shoulder and the road surface changes. This change is thought to be due to a change in the load acting on the belt layer within a portion of the shoulder, and a change in the residual CF due to the rotational moment around the grounding point based on internal shear deformation.

In this way, to reduce the speed dependence of the residual CF,
It is necessary to suppress changes in the ground contact situation on the tread surface during high-speed driving.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a pneumatic tire that can reduce the speed dependence of unilateral flow of a vehicle.

If it is smaller than 1o, the crown portion including the tire equator will protrude excessively, resulting in poor wear resistance.If it is larger than 1o, the tread will become flat, resulting in poor handling stability.

Also, the radius of curvature BR2 of the shoulder belt is 105mm.
It is assumed that the radius of curvature of the belt is greater than or equal to the radius of curvature BRI of the belt. If it is smaller than 105 mm, the speed dependence of the residual CF will worsen and the vehicle flow will change depending on the speed. Moreover, if the radius of curvature of the belt is larger than BRI, steering stability will be impaired.

This is due to the tire's tendency to lift as its diameter expands due to centrifugal force caused by high-speed driving, which tends to reduce the ground contact pressure at a portion of the shoulder of the tire. This tendency also shows that as the radius of curvature BR2 of the belt in the shoulder part becomes smaller, that is, smaller than 105 mm, the ground contact pressure in the shoulder part decreases rapidly, and as a result, the distribution of residual CF over the entire tread surface decreases. It is thought that the velocity dependence of the residual CF changes. For this reason, the radius of curvature BR2 of the belt is set to 105 mm or more. Further, when the radius of curvature BR2 is larger than the radius of curvature BRI, uneven wear tends to occur in a portion of the shoulder.

When the ratio BRI/W of the curvature radius BRI of the belt 7 in the crown region CR to the tire width W is smaller than 5, the crown region CR becomes excessively arcuate, increasing the ground contact pressure near the tire equator CO and improving wear resistance. inferior to sex. On the other hand, when it is larger than 10, the crown area CR becomes flat, which impairs steering stability.

05 mm or more and smaller than the radius of curvature BRI of the belt. If it is smaller than 105 mm, the speed dependence of the residual CF will worsen and the vehicle flow will change depending on the speed. This is based on the fact that in a tire with a tire size of 215SR/15, the speed dependence of the residual CF was investigated by changing the radius of curvature BR2 of the shoulder portion SH, and the diagram shown in FIG. 3 was obtained. As shown in the figure, when the radius of curvature BR2 of the belt 7 at the shoulder portion is 105 mm or less, the velocity dependence of the residual CF tends to be large.

The centrifugal force of tires caused by high-speed driving tends to reduce ground contact pressure on part of the tire shoulders. This tendency also shows that the radius of curvature BR2 of the shoulder belt is small, that is, 105 mm.
It is thought that as the tire pressure becomes smaller than , the ground contact pressure of a part of the shoulder is excessively reduced, and as a result, the distribution of residual CF over the entire tread surface changes, and the speed dependence of the residual CF becomes large.

For this reason, the radius of curvature BR2 of the belt is set to 105 mm or more. Furthermore, when the radius of curvature BR2 is larger than the radius of curvature BR1, uneven wear tends to occur in a portion of the shoulder.
