Abstract
This pneumatic tire is provided with: a pair of carcass layers arranged so as to extend from the respective left and right beads of the tire across the tread; and a plurality of crossing belts arranged on the outside of the carcass layers in the radial direction of the tire. The pair of carcass layers is arranged so as to overlap each other in the tire width direction. The overlapping width (Wc) of the carcass layers is in the range of 0.5 mm≤Wc≤40 mm.
Claims14
A pneumatic tire comprising:
- left and right carcass layers forming a pair of carcass layers arranged so as to extend from respective left and right beads of the tire into a tread region;
- a plurality of crossing belts arranged on an outside of the pair of carcass layers in a radial direction of the tire;
- the left and right carcass layers of the pair of carcass layers being arranged so as to overlap each other in a tire width direction in the tread region;
- an overlapping width (Wc) of the carcass layers being in a range of 0.5 mm≤Wc≤40 mm;
- a pair of inner liners covering the pair of carcass layers from an inner circumferential surface of the tire;
- and
- the pair of inner liners being arranged so as to overlap each other in the tire width direction;
- wherein
- an end portion of a first inner liner terminates without crossing an end portion of a first carcass layer in the tire width direction, an end portion of a second inner liner extends beyond an end portion of a second carcass layer in the tire width direction, and the first inner liner does not overlap the first carcass layer in the tire width direction;
- and
- an overlapping width (Wi) of the pair of inner liners is in a range of 15 mm≤Wi≤35 mm.
