Abstract
A pneumatic tire comprises a carcass layer, a belt layer radially outward of the carcass layer, and a tread rubber radially outward of the belt layer. The belt layer includes an angle belt having a belt angle ≥45° and ≤70° in absolute values, a pair of cross belts having belt angles of ≥10° and ≤45° in absolute values and having belt angles of mutually opposite signs, and a reinforcing layer having a belt angle within ±5° relative to a circumferential direction. A width Ws of the reinforcing layer and a cross-sectional width Wca of the carcass layer satisfy 0.60≤Ws/Wca≤0.70. The cross belts are radially outward of the large angle belt. The reinforcing layer is radially inward of the pair of cross belts. A width Wb2 of a wider cross belt of the pair and Wca satisfy 0.79≤Wb2/Wca≤0.89.
Claims16
A pneumatic tire comprising a carcass layer, a belt layer disposed on an outer side of the carcass layer in a tire radial direction, and a tread rubber disposed on the outer side of the belt layer in the tire radial direction, wherein
- the belt layer is formed by laminating a large angle belt having a belt angle of not less than 45° and not more than 70° in absolute values, a pair of cross belts having belt angles of not less than 10° and not more than 45° in absolute values and having belt angles of mutually opposite signs, and a circumferential reinforcing layer having a belt angle within a range of ±5° with respect to a tire circumferential direction,
- the pair of cross belts are disposed on the outer side in the tire radial direction of the large angle belt,
- the circumferential reinforcing layer is disposed on the inner side in the tire radial direction of the pair of cross belts,
- a width Ws of the circumferential reinforcing layer and a cross-sectional width Wca of the carcass layer have a relationship such that 0.60≤Ws/Wca≤0.70;
- and
- a width Wb2 of a wider cross belt of the pair of cross belts, and the cross-sectional width Wca of the carcass layer have a relationship such that 0.79≤Wb2/Wca≤0.89.
