Description

空気入りタイヤPneumatic tire
 本発明は、空気入りタイヤに関する。 The present invention relates to a pneumatic tire.
 従来、軽量化を図ったラジアル構造の空気入りタイヤとして、カーカスの外周に1層のベルト層と1層のスパイラルベルト層からなるベルトを設けたものが知られている(例えば、特開平5-286309号公報、特開平10―151912号公報参照)。 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a pneumatic tire having a radial structure that has been reduced in weight, a tire having a belt composed of one belt layer and one spiral belt layer on the outer periphery of a carcass is known (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 5- No. 286309, JP-A-10-151912).
 空気入りラジアルタイヤにおいて、タイヤ周方向に対して、比較的小さな角度で傾斜して延びるスチールコードよりなる実質上一層のベルト層と、ベルト層の外周側で、ベルト層をその全幅にわたって覆うベルト補助層とを備えた構造が開示されている(例えば、特開平5-286309号公報参照)。タイヤ周方向に対するベルト層コードの傾斜方向が、ベルト層の幅方向のそれぞれの半部で相互に相違している。 In a pneumatic radial tire, a belt layer substantially consisting of a steel cord extending at a relatively small angle with respect to the tire circumferential direction, and a belt auxiliary covering the belt layer over the entire width on the outer peripheral side of the belt layer A structure including a layer is disclosed (for example, see Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-286309). The inclination direction of the belt layer cord with respect to the tire circumferential direction is different from each other in each half of the width direction of the belt layer.
 これら従来の空気入りタイヤにおいて、ベルト層をタイヤ幅方向に2分割した構成とすることで、コーナリングパワー(CP)の向上、タイヤ偏摩耗の抑制などの効果が期待できる。 In these conventional pneumatic tires, effects such as improvement in cornering power (CP) and suppression of tire uneven wear can be expected by dividing the belt layer into two in the tire width direction.
 上記のようなタイヤ幅方向センター付近を境に傾斜ベルトの角度(方向)が異なる構造では、センター部に傾斜ベルトの端、および傾斜ベルト同士の重なり部分が存在する。この重なり部分が狭かったり、あるいはベルト層同士が重なっていない場合には、この重なり部分あるいはベルト層の間隙部分がトレッドゴムの周方向に連続する溝と重なると、ベルト間ゴムの強度が低下する問題があった。 In the structure where the angle (direction) of the inclined belt is different from the vicinity of the center in the tire width direction as described above, the end of the inclined belt and the overlapping portion of the inclined belts exist in the center portion. If this overlapping portion is narrow or the belt layers do not overlap, if the overlapping portion or the gap portion of the belt layer overlaps with a groove continuous in the circumferential direction of the tread rubber, the strength of the inter-belt rubber decreases. There was a problem.
 本発明は上記事実を考慮し、ベルト層の分割部におけるベルト間ゴムの強度を向上させた空気入りタイヤの提供を目的とする。 The present invention has been made in view of the above facts, and an object of the present invention is to provide a pneumatic tire in which the strength of the rubber between the belts at the split portion of the belt layer is improved.

 本発明の第2の態様は、本発明の第1の態様において、前記ベルト層はトレッド部のタイヤ半径方向内側に設けられ、タイヤ周方向に対して傾斜した複数本のコードをゴム被覆して構成されると共にタイヤ幅方向に分割された2つのベルト片からなり、前記ベルト片における前記コードの傾斜方向が、タイヤ周方向に対して互いに逆とされ、前記ベルト層のタイヤ半径方向内側に設けられ、ゴム被覆されたコードをタイヤ周方向に螺旋状に巻いて構成される補強層を有している。 According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect of the present invention, the belt layer is provided inside the tread portion in the tire radial direction, and a plurality of cords inclined with respect to the tire circumferential direction are covered with rubber. It consists of two belt pieces that are configured and divided in the tire width direction, and the inclination directions of the cords in the belt pieces are opposite to each other in the tire circumferential direction, and are provided inside the belt layer in the tire radial direction. And a reinforcing layer formed by spirally winding a rubber-coated cord in the tire circumferential direction.
 本発明の第3の態様は、本発明の第2の態様において、前記ベルト層の幅は、前記補強層の幅以上である。 The third aspect of the present invention is the second aspect of the present invention, wherein the width of the belt layer is equal to or greater than the width of the reinforcing layer.
 本発明の第4の態様は、本発明の第2の態様または第3の態様において、前記ベルト層の幅は、トレッド部の接地幅の95~130%である。 According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the second aspect or the third aspect of the present invention, the width of the belt layer is 95 to 130% of the ground contact width of the tread portion.
 本発明の第5の態様は、本発明の第2の態様~第4の態様において、前記補強層の幅は、トレッド部の接地幅の95%以上である。 In a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the second to fourth aspects of the present invention, the width of the reinforcing layer is 95% or more of the ground contact width of the tread portion.
 本発明に係る空気入りタイヤによれば、トレッド部の耐偏摩耗性及びタイヤの耐久性を向上させることができる、という優れた効果が得られる。 According to the pneumatic tire according to the present invention, an excellent effect that the uneven wear resistance of the tread portion and the durability of the tire can be improved is obtained.

 以下、本発明を実施するための形態を図面に基づき説明する。図面において、矢印C方向はタイヤ周方向を示し、矢印R方向はタイヤ半径方向を示し、矢印W方向はタイヤ幅方向を示す。タイヤ半径方向とは、タイヤ回転軸(図示せず)と直交する方向をいう。タイヤ幅方向とは、タイヤ回転軸と平行な方向をいう。タイヤ幅方向をタイヤ軸方向と言い換えることもできる。 Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, the arrow C direction indicates the tire circumferential direction, the arrow R direction indicates the tire radial direction, and the arrow W direction indicates the tire width direction. The tire radial direction refers to a direction orthogonal to a tire rotation axis (not shown). The tire width direction refers to a direction parallel to the tire rotation axis. The tire width direction can be rephrased as the tire axial direction.
 図1には、本願発明の第1の態様に係る空気入りタイヤの、ベルト層21,22と溝32との配置が示されている。 FIG. 1 shows the arrangement of the belt layers 21 and 22 and the grooves 32 in the pneumatic tire according to the first aspect of the present invention.
 重なり部12Aのタイヤ径方向外側面からトレッド部16の表面までの距離をaとすると、重なり部12Aのタイヤ幅方向中心からの距離がa×0.8となる距離をc、重なり部12A上において、重なり部12Aのタイヤ径方向外側面からタイヤ径方向外側へ距離がa×0.35となる距離をbとすると、図中の高さb、幅cの長方形の範囲より下には、幅がa×0.35以上の溝32を設けない構成とされている。 When the distance from the outer surface in the tire radial direction of the overlapping portion 12A to the surface of the tread portion 16 is a, the distance from the center of the overlapping portion 12A in the tire width direction is a × 0.8, and the distance on the overlapping portion 12A In the figure, assuming that the distance from the outer surface in the tire radial direction of the overlapping portion 12A to the outer side in the tire radial direction is a × 0.35, b is below the rectangular range of height b and width c in the figure, The groove 32 having a width of a × 0.35 or more is not provided.
 すなわち、トレッド部16において重なり部12Aの上に溝32を設ける場合は、ベルト層21,22の上に、重なり部12Aからトレッド部16の表面までの距離a×0.35よりも溝32が深くならないように重なり部12Aから溝32の底までの距離b(a×0.35)を維持する、あるいは溝32の幅をa×0.35よりも小さくすることで、後述のように重なり部12Aにおける強度低下を抑制することができる。 That is, when the groove 32 is provided on the overlapping portion 12A in the tread portion 16, the groove 32 is formed on the belt layers 21 and 22 more than the distance a × 0.35 from the overlapping portion 12A to the surface of the tread portion 16. By maintaining the distance b (a × 0.35) from the overlapping portion 12A to the bottom of the groove 32 so as not to become deep, or by making the width of the groove 32 smaller than a × 0.35, the overlapping is performed as described later. The strength reduction in the portion 12A can be suppressed.
 より深い溝32を形成する場合は、重なり部12Aの中央からa×0.8以上離れた箇所(図中cよりも幅方向外側)に形成することで、重なり部12Aからの距離を確保し、重なり部12Aにおけるプランジャーエネルギー低下を抑制することができる。 When the deeper groove 32 is formed, the distance from the overlapping portion 12A is ensured by forming it at a location ax0.8 or more away from the center of the overlapping portion 12A (outside in the width direction than c in the figure). And the plunger energy fall in 12 A of overlap parts can be suppressed.
 本実施形態では上記の構造としたことで、重なり部12Aの上のトレッドゴム層30の厚さを確保できるため、ベルト層21,22の重なり部12Aにおける破断強度を向上させることができる。 In this embodiment, since the thickness of the tread rubber layer 30 above the overlapping portion 12A can be ensured by adopting the above structure, the breaking strength at the overlapping portion 12A of the belt layers 21 and 22 can be improved.
 図2,図3において、本実施形態に係る空気入りタイヤ10は、ベルト層12と、補強層14と、を有している。 2 and 3, the pneumatic tire 10 according to this embodiment includes a belt layer 12 and a reinforcing layer 14.
 ベルト層12は、トレッド部16のタイヤ半径方向内側に設けられている。このベルト層12は、タイヤ幅方向に分割された2つのベルト片21,22からなっている。ベルト片21,22は、タイヤ周方向に対して傾斜した複数本のコード18をゴム被覆して構成されている。ベルト片21,22におけるコード18の傾斜方向は、タイヤ周方向(矢印C方向)に対して互いに逆とされている。タイヤ回転方向が矢印F方向に指定されている場合には、コード18が、ベルト片21,22のタイヤ幅方向内側から外側へ向かうに従って夫々タイヤ回転方向(矢印F方向)に延びていることが望ましい。 The belt layer 12 is provided on the inner side in the tire radial direction of the tread portion 16. The belt layer 12 includes two belt pieces 21 and 22 divided in the tire width direction. The belt pieces 21 and 22 are configured by rubber coating a plurality of cords 18 inclined with respect to the tire circumferential direction. The inclination directions of the cords 18 in the belt pieces 21 and 22 are opposite to each other with respect to the tire circumferential direction (arrow C direction). When the tire rotation direction is designated in the arrow F direction, the cord 18 may extend in the tire rotation direction (arrow F direction) as it goes from the inner side to the outer side in the tire width direction of the belt pieces 21 and 22. desirable.
 図3においては、ベルト片21,22の分割位置は、タイヤ赤道面CLに位置している。分割位置はこれに限られず、図4に示されるように、分割位置がタイヤ赤道面CLから外れていてもよい。また、タイヤ周方向に対するコード18の傾斜角度、コード18の寸法、材質等は、ベルト片21とベルト片22で互いに異なっていてもよい。更に、図5に示されるように、ベルト片21,22が一部重なっていてもよい。この場合の重なり量OWは、トレッド部16の接地幅TW(図1)の20%以下である。また、図6に示されるように、ベルト片21,22が、タイヤ幅方向に離間して配置されていてもよい。この場合の離間距離Dは、トレッド部16の接地幅TW(図1)の20%以下である。 In FIG. 3, the division positions of the belt pieces 21 and 22 are located on the tire equatorial plane CL. The division position is not limited to this, and as shown in FIG. 4, the division position may deviate from the tire equatorial plane CL. Further, the inclination angle of the cord 18 with respect to the tire circumferential direction, the size, the material, and the like of the cord 18 may be different between the belt piece 21 and the belt piece 22. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the belt pieces 21 and 22 may partially overlap. In this case, the overlap amount OW is 20% or less of the ground contact width TW (FIG. 1) of the tread portion 16. In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, the belt pieces 21 and 22 may be disposed apart from each other in the tire width direction. In this case, the separation distance D is 20% or less of the ground contact width TW (FIG. 1) of the tread portion 16.
 図2,図3において、補強層14は、ベルト層12のタイヤ半径方向内側に設けられ、ゴム被覆されたコード28をタイヤ周方向(矢印R方向)に螺旋状に巻いて構成されている。ベルト層12の幅BWは、この補強層14の幅RW以上であり、補強層14はベルト層12によってタイヤ径方向外側から覆われている。より好ましくは、ベルト層12の幅BWを、補強層14の幅RWより大きくする。このようにすることで、トレッド部16における中央部とショルダー部との摩耗比が小さくなり、耐偏摩耗性が向上する。 2 and 3, the reinforcing layer 14 is provided on the inner side in the tire radial direction of the belt layer 12 and is configured by winding a rubber-coated cord 28 in a spiral shape in the tire circumferential direction (arrow R direction). The width BW of the belt layer 12 is equal to or greater than the width RW of the reinforcing layer 14, and the reinforcing layer 14 is covered with the belt layer 12 from the outer side in the tire radial direction. More preferably, the width BW of the belt layer 12 is made larger than the width RW of the reinforcing layer 14. By doing in this way, the wear ratio of the center part and shoulder part in the tread part 16 becomes small, and uneven wear resistance improves.
 補強層14のコード28の材料は、アラミド、スチール、PET(ポリエチレンテレフタレート)等である。アラミドの弾性率は、17.6GPa(1800kgf/mm2 )以上である。アラミドの引張破断強度は、0.27~0.76Nである。また、スチールの弾性率は、29.4GPa(3000kgf/mm2 )以上である。アラミドの引張破断強度は、0.38~1.07Nである。 The material of the cord 28 of the reinforcing layer 14 is aramid, steel, PET (polyethylene terephthalate) or the like. The elastic modulus of aramid is 17.6 GPa (1800 kgf / mm @ 2) or more. The tensile strength at break of aramid is 0.27 to 0.76N. The elastic modulus of steel is 29.4 GPa (3000 kgf / mm @ 2) or more. The tensile strength at break of aramid is 0.38 to 1.07N.
 ベルト層12の幅BWは、トレッド部16の接地幅TWの95~130%である。この割合が95%を下回ると、トレッド部16の変形を抑制する機能が低くなり、接地端付近の接地圧が上昇する。一方、この割合が130%を上回ると、空気入りタイヤ10が重くなる。 The width BW of the belt layer 12 is 95 to 130% of the ground contact width TW of the tread portion 16. When this ratio is less than 95%, the function of suppressing the deformation of the tread portion 16 is lowered, and the contact pressure near the contact end increases. On the other hand, when this ratio exceeds 130%, the pneumatic tire 10 becomes heavy.
 補強層14の幅RWは、トレッド部16の接地幅TWの95%以上である。この割合が95%を下回ると、トレッド部16の変形を抑制する機能が低くなり、接地端付近の接地圧が上昇すると共に、高速走行時に空気入りタイヤ10が径方向に膨張してタイヤ最大径部分(通常はタイヤ赤道面CL)での接地長が増加する。 The width RW of the reinforcing layer 14 is 95% or more of the ground contact width TW of the tread portion 16. When this ratio is less than 95%, the function of suppressing the deformation of the tread portion 16 is lowered, the contact pressure near the contact end increases, and the pneumatic tire 10 expands in the radial direction when traveling at a high speed, so that the tire maximum diameter is increased. The contact length at the portion (usually the tire equatorial plane CL) increases.
 なお、「接地幅」とは、空気入りタイヤ10を正規リムに組付け、正規内圧を充填し、正規荷重を負荷したときの荷重直下におけるトレッド部16のタイヤ軸方向における接地幅をいう。「正規リム」とは、例えばTRA(The Tire and Rim Association Inc.のYear Book)またはETRTO(The European Tyre and Rim Technical OrganisationのYear Book)が発行する2012年版のYEAR BOOKに定められた適用サイズにおける標準リムを指し、「正規荷重」及び「正規内圧」とは、同様にYEAR BOOKに定められた適用サイズ・プライレーティングにおける最大荷重及び最大荷重に対する空気圧を指す。 The “contact width” refers to a contact width in the tire axial direction of the tread portion 16 immediately below the load when the pneumatic tire 10 is assembled to a normal rim, filled with a normal internal pressure, and a normal load is applied. “Regular rim” means, for example, the applicable size specified in the 2012 YEAR BOOK issued by TRA (Year Book of The Tire and And Rim Association and Inc.) or ETRTO (Year Book of the European and Tyre and And Rim Technical and Organization) The standard rim is indicated, and “normal load” and “normal internal pressure” indicate the maximum load and the air pressure with respect to the maximum load in the application size / ply rating similarly defined in YEAR BOOK.
 補強層14のタイヤ半径方向内側には、カーカスプライ20が設けられている。 A carcass ply 20 is provided inside the reinforcing layer 14 in the tire radial direction.
(作用)
 本実施形態は、上記のように構成されており、以下その作用について説明する。コードが傾斜したベルト層12が1層だけでの構造では、車両の左右旋回時における非対称性が高まり、どちらか一方のショルダー部で大きなせん断力が発生する傾向がある(図示せず)。
(Function)
This embodiment is configured as described above, and the operation thereof will be described below. In the structure in which the belt layer 12 having the inclined cord is only one layer, asymmetry is increased when the vehicle turns left and right, and a large shearing force tends to be generated in one of the shoulder portions (not shown).
 しかしながら、図3に示されるように、本実施形態に係る空気入りタイヤ10では、ベルト層12が、2つのベルト片21,22により構成されている。また、ベルト片21,22におけるコード18の傾斜方向が、タイヤ周方向に対して互いに逆とされている。従って、コード18が一方向にのみ傾斜する場合と比較して、車両の左右旋回時におけるコーナリングパワーの非対称性が少なくなって、トレッド部16のせん断力分布が左右対称となり、直進性が高まると共に、トレッド部16の片減り摩耗が減少する。このため、トレッド部16に偏摩耗が生じ難い。 However, as shown in FIG. 3, in the pneumatic tire 10 according to the present embodiment, the belt layer 12 includes two belt pieces 21 and 22. Further, the inclination directions of the cords 18 in the belt pieces 21 and 22 are opposite to each other with respect to the tire circumferential direction. Therefore, as compared with the case where the cord 18 is inclined only in one direction, the asymmetry of the cornering power when the vehicle turns left and right is reduced, the shearing force distribution of the tread portion 16 is symmetric, and straightness is improved. In this case, the wear of the tread portion 16 is reduced. For this reason, uneven wear hardly occurs in the tread portion 16.
 同様に、トレッド部16におけるショルダー部の幅方向せん断力が減少することにより、両側のショルダー部の摩耗が減少すると共に、転がり抵抗が少なくなる。加えて、ベルト層12が実質的に1層であり、2層以上である場合(図示せず)と比較して軽量となる。 Similarly, when the widthwise shearing force of the shoulder portion in the tread portion 16 is reduced, wear on the shoulder portions on both sides is reduced and rolling resistance is reduced. In addition, the belt layer 12 is substantially one layer, and is lighter than the case where it is two or more layers (not shown).
 また、コード28が螺旋状に巻かれた補強層14が、ベルト層12のタイヤ半径方向内側に設けられているので、路上の鋭利な異物等を踏んだ際に補強層14が傷付き難く、トレッド部16の部分的な変形が抑制される。このため、トレッド部16の耐偏摩耗性及びタイヤの耐久性を向上させることができる。加えて、トレッド部16の局部的な変形に起因する走行時の振動を抑制し、乗り心地の低下を抑制することができる。 Further, since the reinforcing layer 14 in which the cord 28 is spirally wound is provided on the inner side in the tire radial direction of the belt layer 12, the reinforcing layer 14 is hardly damaged when stepping on sharp foreign objects on the road, Partial deformation of the tread portion 16 is suppressed. For this reason, the uneven wear resistance of the tread portion 16 and the durability of the tire can be improved. In addition, it is possible to suppress vibration during traveling due to local deformation of the tread portion 16 and to suppress a decrease in riding comfort.
 また、ベルト層12の幅BWが補強層14の幅RW以上であるので、補強層14の傷付きを抑制し、タイヤの耐久性をより一層向上させることができる。 Further, since the width BW of the belt layer 12 is equal to or larger than the width RW of the reinforcing layer 14, it is possible to suppress damage to the reinforcing layer 14 and to further improve the durability of the tire.
 更に、ベルト層12の幅BWがトレッド部16の接地幅TWの95~130%であるので、操縦安定性、耐偏摩耗性、転がり抵抗性能の向上に好適である。 Furthermore, since the width BW of the belt layer 12 is 95 to 130% of the ground contact width TW of the tread portion 16, it is suitable for improving steering stability, uneven wear resistance, and rolling resistance performance.
 また、補強層14の幅RWがトレッド部16の接地幅TWの95%以上であるので、操縦安定性、耐偏摩耗性、転がり抵抗性能の向上に好適である。 In addition, since the width RW of the reinforcing layer 14 is 95% or more of the ground contact width TW of the tread portion 16, it is suitable for improving the steering stability, uneven wear resistance, and rolling resistance performance.
[他の実施形態]
 上記実施形態では、ベルト層12の幅BWが、補強層14の幅RW以上であるものとしたが、この幅RW未満であってもよい。また、ベルト層12の幅BWがトレッド部16の接地幅TWの95~130%であるものとし、補強層14の幅RWがトレッド部16の接地幅TWの95%以上であるものとしたが、数値範囲はこれらに限られない。
[Other Embodiments]
In the embodiment described above, the width BW of the belt layer 12 is equal to or greater than the width RW of the reinforcing layer 14, but may be less than the width RW. Also, the width BW of the belt layer 12 is assumed to be 95 to 130% of the ground contact width TW of the tread portion 16, and the width RW of the reinforcing layer 14 is assumed to be 95% or more of the ground contact width TW of the tread portion 16. The numerical range is not limited to these.
(試験例)
 比較例1~6、実施例1,2に係る空気入りタイヤについて、摩耗量比(コーナリングパワー、転がり抵抗を含む)、荷重変動について試験を行った。試験方法、条件及び結果は、表1及び以下に記載の通りである。なお、比較例1,2,5,6は、ベルト層が1層で、コードが一方向にのみ傾斜する構造とされている。比較例3,4と実施例1,2は、図1に示されるベルト層の構造を有している。
(Test example)
The pneumatic tires according to Comparative Examples 1 to 6 and Examples 1 and 2 were tested for wear ratio (including cornering power and rolling resistance) and load fluctuation. Test methods, conditions and results are as described in Table 1 and below. In Comparative Examples 1, 2, 5, and 6, the belt layer is one layer and the cord is inclined only in one direction. Comparative Examples 3 and 4 and Examples 1 and 2 have the belt layer structure shown in FIG.
[共通条件]
 タイヤサイズ:195/65R15
[摩耗量比]
 タイヤをFF車のフロント軸に装着し、テストコースを5000km走行した。摩耗量比は、トレッド部のセンター部に対するショルダー部の摩耗量の比で表され、この値が1に近いほど均一摩耗であることを示し耐偏摩耗性が良と判断できる。コーナリングパワーは、切り角に対してタイヤの発生する横力の割合を示しており、数値が大きい程良であり、左右差が少ない程良と判断できる。転がり抵抗は、比較例1を100とした指数により示されており、数値が小さい程良である。
 実施例によれば、本発明は転がり抵抗を抑えつつ、コーナリングパワー及び摩耗を良化させることが可能となる。
[荷重変動]
 比較例1,3と実施例1に係る空気入りタイヤについて、悪路のテスト路面を100km走行後のRFV(Radial Force Variation)の悪化代を測定した。表1における数値は、新品タイヤを100とした指数により示されており、数値が小さいほど良である。比較例1,3と比べて、実施例1の荷重変動が低く抑えられている。このことから、ベルト層を補強層の外側に配置する(補強層をベルト層の内側に配置する)ことにより、タイヤの耐久性が向上することがわかる。
[Common conditions]
Tire size: 195 / 65R15
[Abrasion rate ratio]
The tires were mounted on the front axle of the FF vehicle and the test course was run for 5000 km. The wear amount ratio is represented by the ratio of the wear amount of the shoulder portion with respect to the center portion of the tread portion, and the closer this value is to 1, the more uniform wear is indicated and it can be judged that the uneven wear resistance is good. The cornering power indicates the ratio of the lateral force generated by the tire with respect to the turning angle. The larger the numerical value, the better, and the smaller the left / right difference, the better. The rolling resistance is indicated by an index with Comparative Example 1 as 100, and the smaller the value, the better.
According to the embodiment, the present invention can improve cornering power and wear while suppressing rolling resistance.
[Load fluctuation]
About the pneumatic tire which concerns on Comparative Examples 1 and 3 and Example 1, the deterioration margin of RFV (Radial Force Variation) after driving | running | working the test road surface of a rough road for 100 km was measured. The numerical values in Table 1 are indicated by an index with a new tire as 100, and the smaller the numerical value, the better. Compared with Comparative Examples 1 and 3, the load fluctuation of Example 1 is kept low. From this, it is understood that the durability of the tire is improved by disposing the belt layer outside the reinforcing layer (disposing the reinforcing layer inside the belt layer).
