Abstract
In a pneumatic tire including belt layers on an outer circumferential side of a carcass layer in a tread portion and a sealant layer made of an adhesive sealant provided on an inner surface of the tread portion, a width SW of the sealant layer, a width BW1 of an inner belt layer disposed adjacent to the carcass layer of the belt layers, and an actual ground contact width CW satisfy a relationship CW≤SW≤BW1.
Claims18
A pneumatic tire, comprising:
- a tread portion extending in a tire circumferential direction and having an annular shape;
- a pair of sidewall portions respectively disposed on both sides of the tread portion;
- a pair of bead portions each disposed on an inner side of a respective sidewall portion of the pair of sidewall portions in a tire radial direction;
- a carcass layer mounted between the pair of bead portions;
- at least one belt layer comprising an inner belt layer disposed adjacent to an outer circumferential side of the carcass layer in the tread portion;
- and
- a sealant layer made of an adhesive sealant provided on at least an inner surface of the tread portion;
- a width SW of the sealant layer, a width BW1 of the inner belt layer, and an actual ground contact width CW satisfying a relationship CW≤SW≤BW1;
- a thickness T1 of the tread portion and a thickness S1 of the sealant layer at the tire equator position satisfying a relationship 0.15<S1/T1<0.35;
- and
- a thickness T2 of the tread portion and a thickness S2 of the sealant layer at each end portion position of the sealant layer satisfying a relationship 0.20<S2/T2<0.40.
