Abstract
A pneumatic tire is provided with a belt layer and a reinforcing layer provided outside the belt layer in tire radial direction. The reinforcing layer has an inner reinforcing layer in which a strip member having a plurality of cords is wound along tire circumferential direction, and an outer reinforcing layer in which the strip member having a plurality of cords is wound along the tire circumferential direction and is provided outside tire radial direction of the inner reinforcing layer. The outer reinforcing layer has a gap between adjacent strip members in tire width direction.
Claims2
A tire comprising:
- a belt layer extending along a tire circumferential direction and extending from one end to other end in a tire width direction;
- and
- a reinforcing layer provided on the outer side of the belt layer in a tire radial direction, wherein
- the reinforcing layer comprises:
- an inner reinforcing layer in which strip members having a plurality of cords are wound along the tire circumferential direction;
- and
- an outer reinforcing layer provided outside in the tire radial direction of the inner reinforcing layer, in which strip members having a plurality of cords are wound along the tire circumferential direction, wherein
- at least either the inner reinforcing layer or the outer reinforcing layer has a gap between the strip members adjacent to each other in the tire width direction
- the outer reinforcing layer has at least the gap in a central region in the tire width direction, which is a region from a tire equatorial line up to 30% of a half (TW/2) of a tread width,
- the inner reinforcing layer has a continuous portion at least in the center region, in which the strip members are continuously provided without the gap,
- the gap and the width of the strip members have a relationship of 1:2, and
- a number of the cords forming the strip members of the outer reinforcing layer is smaller than a number of the cords forming the strip members of the inner reinforcing layer.
