Abstract
The present technology provides a pneumatic tire having a mechanical fastener member for attaching an object with specific functionality to an inner surface of the pneumatic tire, particularly, a pneumatic tire such that, as the pneumatic tire rolls, the object with the specific function attached by the mechanical fastener member can be effectively prevented from executing rotating motion about the mechanical fastener member as a rotation central axis. The pneumatic tire of the present technology has a first member of a mechanical fastener separable into two members, disposed on the tire inner surface. On the tire inner surface around the mechanical fastener member, a recessed flat surface region is formed as a recessed portion having a step from peripheral portions of the recessed portion.
Claims12
A pneumatic tire, comprising:
- a mechanical fastener member on a tire inner surface, the mechanical fastener member corresponding to a first member of a mechanical fastener separable into two members,
- a recessed flat surface region being formed on the tire inner surface around the mechanical fastener member as a recessed portion having a step from peripheral portions of the recessed portion;
- wherein a profile shape of the recessed flat surface region is asymmetrical with respect to one and/or both of a line in a tire axial direction and a line in a tire circumferential direction that pass through the center of the mechanical fastener member in a plan view of the tire inner surface from the vertical direction.
