Abstract
Provided is a tire having a circular tire frame formed of at least a thermoplastic resin material, in which the tire includes a reinforcing cord member that forms a reinforcing cord layer on an outer circumference of the tire frame, and the thermoplastic resin material contains at least a polyester-based thermoplastic elastomer.
Claims7
A tire comprising at least a circular tire frame formed of a thermoplastic resin material,
- the tire including a reinforcing cord member and a tread provided on the circular tire frame in this order, the reinforcing cord member forming a reinforcing cord layer on an outer circumference of the tire frame, the reinforcing cord member being a coated reinforcing cord member, the coated reinforcing cord member being coated with a resin material that is physically different from the thermoplastic resin material which forms the tire frame at a cord member, and the resin material for coating being a resin material that does not include a vulcanized rubber, wherein the tread is formed of a rubber, and the cord member does not directly come in contact with the rubber;
- and
- the thermoplastic resin material including at least a polyester-based thermoplastic elastomer, wherein
- the content ratio of the polyester-based thermoplastic elastomer in the thermoplastic resin material is from 50% by mass to 100% by mass,
- the polyester-based thermoplastic elastomer is a copolymer having a hard segment including an aromatic polyester and a soft segment including at least one selected from the group consisting of an aliphatic polyether and an aliphatic polyester,
- the resin material for coating the reinforcing cord member is the same kind as the thermoplastic resin material that forms the tire frame, and
- the tire is physically different from a rim and the tire frame includes a bead portion.

- the polyester-based thermoplastic elastomer is a copolymer having a hard segment including an aromatic polyester and a soft segment including at least one selected from the group consisting of an aliphatic polyether and an aliphatic polyester;
- the resin material for coating the reinforcing cord member is the same kind as the thermoplastic resin material that forms the tire frame;
- and
- the tire is physically different from a rim and the tire frame includes a bead portion.
