Abstract
Provided is a vehicle tire with an RFID tag. The damage of the RFID tag or non-recognition problem can be prevented when a severe operating atmosphere is applied to the tire. The RFID tag is mounted on a side of the tire, apart from a bead included on an inner circumference of the tire, within a distance of 0.74 in a radial direction from the bead toward a belt attached to an outer circumference of the tire assuming that the distance from the bead to the belt is 1.
Claims20
An inflatable tire for a vehicle, the inflatable tire comprising:
- a casing including a substantially planar band forming an outer circumference, a bead that mates with a rim of a wheel of the vehicle and forms an inner circumference and a toroidal wall extending between the bead and the substantially planar band;
- a rubber layer disposed on the casing and including a tread that is configured over the substantially planar band and a side wall that is configured over the toroidal wall;
- and
- an RFID tag mounted in the side wall and spaced away from the bead by a radial distance no greater than 0.74 of a height of the toroidal wall.

An inflatable vehicle tire comprising:
- a casing including an endwall ring, a first sidewall extending radially inward from a first edge of the endwall ring, a second sidewall extending radially inward from a second edge of the endwall ring and beads terminating each of the first and second sidewalls, wherein the beads contact with a rim of a wheel to seal air between the casing and the wheel;
- a belt disposed on the endwall ring;
- a rubber layer including sidewall portions covering outer surfaces of the first and second sidewalls and a tread bonded to the endwall ring and the belt, the tread having a pattern for contacting with a road surface;
- and
- an RFID tag disposed in one of the sidewall portions and spaced radially away from the beads by a distance no greater than 0.74 of a distance between the beads and the belt, wherein the RFID tag includes:
- an RFID chip including a connector;
- an antenna bonded with the connector of the RFID chip;
- a first molding part that encapsulates the RFID chip, the connector and a first portion of the antenna;
- and
- a second molding part that encapsulates the first molding part and a second portion of the antenna.

A vehicle tire comprising:
- a casing including an endwall ring, a side portion extending radially inward from each edge of the endwall ring and a bead that terminates each side portion and contacts with a rim of a wheel to seal air between the casing and the rim;
- a flexible tread bonded to the endwall ring and having a pattern for contacting with a road surface;
- a flexible sidewall bonded to each side portion and the flexible tread;
- and
- an RFID tag including a chip, an antenna and an encapsulation,
- wherein the RFID tag is disposed in the flexible sidewall and spaced away from the bead by a distance no greater than 0.74 of a height of the side portion.
