Abstract
A tire includes tire frame members including bead cores, a bead filler, an inner liner, side-wall rubber and cushion rubber; and an electronic unit provided at an interface of tire frame members, the tire further including: a carcass ply which extends from one bead core to another bead core and includes a rubber-coated reinforcement cord, a belt disposed on the outer side in the tire-radial direction of the carcass ply, in which the cushion rubber is disposed at an end of the carcass ply or at an end of the belt, in which the side-wall rubber is disposed on an outer side in a tire-width direction of the cushion rubber, and in which the electronic unit is disposed between the cushion rubber, and the bead filler or the side-wall rubber.
Claims6
A tire comprising:
- tire frame members including bead cores;
- a bead filler;
- an inner liner;
- side-wall rubber;
- an electronic unit provided at an interface of the tire frame members
- a carcass ply which extends from one bead core to another bead core and includes a rubber-coated reinforcement cord;
- cushion rubber, disposed on an outer side in a tire-radial direction of a folding end of the carcass ply, wherein the cushion rubber includes a first cushion rubber which makes contact with the folding end of the carcass ply, a second cushion rubber which makes contact with the first cushion rubber and extends to the outer side in the tire-radial direction, a modulus of the first cushion rubber is higher than a modulus of the second cushion rubber, and the electronic unit is disposed at an interface between the first cushion rubber and the second cushion rubber;
- an annular-shaped sheet extending in a tire-circumferential direction so as to make contact with the folding end of the carcass ply, wherein the electronic unit is disposed on the outer side in the tire-radial direction of the annular-shaped sheet, between the bead filler and the cushion rubber;
- and
- a belt disposed on the outer side in the tire-radial direction of the carcass ply, wherein the cushion rubber is disposed at the folding end of the carcass ply, and the side-wall rubber is disposed on an outer side in a tire-width direction of the cushion rubber.
