Abstract
Provided is a pneumatic radial tire for passenger vehicles in which the cross-sectional width SW of the tire and the outer diameter OD of the tire satisfy a predetermined relationship, and an end of the carcass (an end of a carcass turn-up portion when the carcass has the carcass turn-up portion) in one tire width-direction half that is on the inner side when the tire is mounted on a vehicle is located on the inner side in the tire radial direction than an end of the carcass turn-up portion in the other tire width-direction half that is on the outer side when the tire is mounted on a vehicle.
Claims4
A pneumatic radial tire for passenger vehicles, comprising
- a pair of bead portions;
- a carcass consisting of one or more carcass plies that straddle in a toroidal shape between the pair of bead portions;
- and
- a belt consisting of one or more belt layers arranged on an outer side in a tire radial direction of a crown portion of the carcass, wherein
- the carcass consists of a carcass body portion that straddles in a toroidal shape between the pair of bead portions, and a carcass turn-up portions that are folded back from the carcass body portion around bead cores embedded in the bead portions,
- a cross-sectional width SW of the tire is less than 165 (mm) and a ratio of the cross-sectional width SW of the tire to an outer diameter OD of the tire, SW/OD, is 0.26 or less, or the cross-sectional width SW of the tire is 165 (mm) or more and the cross-sectional width SW (mm) of the tire and the outer diameter OD (mm) of the tire satisfy a relational expression:
- OD (mm)≥2.135×SW (mm)+282.3 (mm), or the cross-sectional width SW (mm) of the tire and the outer diameter OD (mm) of the tire satisfy a relational expression:
- OD (mm)≥−0.0187×SW (mm)2+9.15×SW (mm)−380 (mm), and
- an end of the carcass turn-up portion in one tire width-direction half that is on the inner side when the tire is mounted on a vehicle is located on the inner side in the tire radial direction than an end of the carcass turn-up portion in the other tire width-direction half that is on the outer side when the tire is mounted on a vehicle.
