Abstract
In a tire, an inclination angle of a cord included in a second belt layer with respect to a tire width direction is defined as a positive inclination angle in a tire see-through plan view, an intersection point between a perpendicular line drawn from an end portion of a belt layer having a maximum belt width in the tire width direction to a carcass and a cord of an outermost carcass layer in a tire radial direction is defined as a first reference point in a tire meridian cross-sectional view, and an inclination angle of the cord with respect to the tire width direction at the first reference point is −3° or more in the tire see-through plan view.
Claims20
A tire, comprising:
- a carcass made of at least one carcass layer;
- and
- a belt comprising a first belt layer and a second belt layer disposed on an outer side of the first belt layer in a radial direction, the first belt layer comprising a cord extending from an inner side toward an outer side in a tire width direction on one side in a tire circumferential direction, the second belt layer comprising a cord extending from the inner side toward the outer side in the tire width direction on another side in the tire circumferential direction;
- when, in a tire see-through plan view, an inclination angle of the cord included in the second belt layer with respect to the tire width direction is defined as a positive inclination angle,
- in a tire meridian cross-sectional view, an intersection point between a perpendicular line drawn from an end portion of a belt layer having a maximum belt width in the tire width direction to the carcass and a cord of an outermost carcass layer in a tire radial direction is defined as a first reference point, and
- in the tire see-through plan view, an inclination angle of the cord with respect to the tire width direction at the first reference point being −3° or more.
