2. Description of the Related Art There is a demand for a so-called run-flat tire which can continue running even when tire deflation occurs due to puncture or the like. As such a tire, for example, a core-shaped support body made of an elastic body or the like is mounted inside the tire by being connected to the rim, and the tire load acting at the time of puncture or the like is supported by the support body. Three
As disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 143710, in addition to a rubber reinforcing body having a substantially crescent-shaped cross section which is mounted on the inner surface of a sidewall portion of a tire, the reinforcing body is provided on the inner surface in the tire axial direction and has a reinforcing cord. It has been proposed to provide a sidewall reinforcing layer including a cord reinforcing body composed of one or more reinforcing plies to reduce vertical flexure of a tire at the time of puncture and to prevent structural damage of a tire case.

In the latter case where the sidewall reinforcing layer is formed, in order to reduce the vertical deflection and obtain the run flat performance, only the rubber reinforcing member is used in the region from the shoulder portion to the bead portion, and Where the rubber reinforcement is usually required to be formed with a maximum rubber thickness of 15 mm or more, the cord reinforcement can be combined to make it relatively thin at 3 to 12 mm to achieve weight reduction. When the internal pressure is reduced due to, for example, a compressive force acts on the reinforcing layer itself, and both the cord reinforcing body and the rubber reinforcing body are easily subject to large bending fatigue, and the temperature increase due to the large rubber thickness causes a relatively short distance. Induces rubber destruction during runflat running.

Further, when the tire is bent due to a tire puncture or the like, a cord reinforcing layer in which steel cords are arranged at an inclination at a predetermined angle is provided on the outer side in the tire axial direction of the folded portion of the carcass ply, which is mainly subjected to a tensile force. Reducing bending fatigue of the layer can also be preferably adopted. In particular, by providing this cord reinforcing layer, it is possible to reduce the maximum rubber thickness of the rubber reinforcing layer, and as a result, it is possible to reduce the tire weight and suppress the heat generation of the rubber, combined with the effect of reducing the bending fatigue. Durability performance can be greatly improved.

A thickness in the range of is preferred. When the range is less than 1.6%, the rubber reinforcing layer 9 becomes too thin, the bending resistance of the sidewall portion 3 decreases, and the bending tends to increase when the internal pressure of the tire decreases. %, The bending resistance of the sidewall portion 3 is improved, but the heat generated by the repeated deformation of the rubber tends to be high, and internal durability of the rubber decreases, and the tire weight and cost also increase. Besides, the ride quality is inferior.

The maximum rubber thickness t of the rubber separation layer along the tire axial direction is preferably about 1 to 3% of the tire cross-section height H in order to improve both load bearing capacity and tire weight reduction. Further, the height h6 of the inner end 10A of the rubber separation layer 10 from the bead base line BL is positioned at a height in the range of 0.50 to 0.60 times the tire sectional height H.
The height h6 of the inner end 10A of the rubber separation layer 10 is set to 0.5.
When the value is lower than 0 times, a step is formed in the carcass layer near the tire maximum width M where the tire is most flexed. Therefore, strain may be concentrated at this point to induce looseness between the carcass plies of the tire. On the contrary, if it is higher than 0.60H, the bending resistance of the carcass becomes small and the run-flat performance deteriorates.

Further, by terminating the upper end height of the folded-back portion 6b of at least one of the carcass plies 6A and 6B beyond the inner end 10A of the rubber separation layer 10 radially outward, the sidewall is formed. The carcass rigidity in the sidewall portion is that the total carcass thickness Ct from the tire axially outward surface of the rubber reinforcing layer 9 to the boundary surface where the carcass ply and the sidewall rubber 3A are in contact with each other is substantially constant. Is substantially uniform and the rigidity can be increased, which is useful for making the rubber reinforcing layer 9 thin.

Further, the steel cords of the cord reinforcing layer 11 are arranged in the topping rubber at an angle of 10 to 50 ° with respect to the radial direction of the tire. If this angle is smaller than 10 °, the flexural rigidity of the cord reinforcing layer is low, and if it is larger than 50 °, the flexural rigidity is also low and the run-flat performance tends to deteriorate.
