Abstract
Description
(1)本発明の乗用車用空気入りタイヤは、1対のビード部間にトロイド状に跨るカーカスと、該カーカスのクラウン部のタイヤ径方向外側に設けられた、タイヤ周方向に対し傾斜して延びるコードを有する傾斜ベルト層及び、タイヤ周方向に沿って延びるコードを有する周方向ベルト層と、を具えるタイヤであって、前記傾斜ベルト層は、タイヤ幅方向幅の異なる2層の傾斜ベルト層を少なくとも含み、最広幅の傾斜ベルト層をなすコードのタイヤ周方向に対する傾斜角度θ1と、最狭幅の傾斜ベルト層をなすコードのタイヤ周方向に対する傾斜角度θ2とが、30°≦θ1≦85°、10°≦θ2≦30°、及び、θ1>θ2を満たし、且つ、前記最広幅の傾斜ベルト層のタイヤ幅方向幅W1と最狭幅の傾斜ベルト層のタイヤ幅方向幅W2とが、W2≦0.6W1を満たすことを特徴とする。
本発明における、傾斜ベルト層及び周方向ベルト層のタイヤ幅方向幅等は、タイヤを適用リムに装着し、JATMA等に記載されている適用サイズ・プライレーティングにおける最大負荷能力に対応する空気圧(以下、所定空気圧)が充填され、無負荷の状態で測定するものとする。
さらに、W2≦0.6W1とすることにより、タイヤ重量が軽量化されるので、タイヤの転がり抵抗を低減することもできる。
また、図7に示すように、傾斜ベルト層3n、3wのコードの延在方向を同一方向にすると、2層の傾斜ベルト層間に働くせん断力が小さくなるため、転がり抵抗性能を特に良好にすることができる。
このタイヤ20は、ビード部11間にトロイド状に跨るカーカス2のタイヤ径方向外側に、傾斜ベルト層3(図示では、2層の傾斜ベルト層3w、3n)、及び、周方向ベルト層4(図示では、タイヤ幅方向に分断された周方向ベルト層4a、4b)とからなるベルトBと、トレッド6とを具える。
なお、複数層の周方向ベルト層が、図3に示すように相互に重複する場合、その重複部分のタイヤ幅方向長さAは、30mm以内であることが接地長の低減を抑制する観点から好ましい。ただし、タイヤ赤道面付近における周方向ベルト層を増やすと、周方向剛性を助長することで騒音性能を悪化させるもととなる振動モードを抑制することができるため、30mmより大きい範囲で重複していてもよい。
なお、トレッド幅TWとは、タイヤを適用リムに装着し、所定空気圧を充填し、そこに最大負荷能力に対応する荷重を負荷したときの接地幅をいうものとする。
上記の比および関係式を満たすタイヤ、すなわち従来通例の乗用車用空気入りタイヤよりも狭幅大径としたタイヤでは転がり抵抗が大幅に向上するものの、トレッドも狭幅であるためにコーナリングパワーが不足する傾向にあるところ、本発明の構成を適用することにより、好適に、コーナリングパワーを増大させることができる。
発明例タイヤ及び比較例タイヤ(ともに、タイヤサイズは165/60R19の乗用車用空気入りタイヤ)を表1に示す仕様のもと試作し、コーナリングパワー、転がり抵抗性能、及び騒音性能を評価した。
各供試タイヤは、1対のビード部間にトロイド状に跨るカーカスを有し、該カーカスのクラウン部のタイヤ径方向外側に、2層の傾斜ベルト層及び1層以上の周方向ベルト層を有するベルトと、トレッドとを具えるタイヤである。
各供試タイヤをリム(サイズは5.5J-19)に組み付け、内圧300kPaを付与した後、車両に装着し、フラットベルト式コーナリング試験機において測定を行った。なお、ベルト速度を100km/hとし、3つの異なる荷重条件下、すなわち、適用サイズ・プライレーティングにおける最大負荷能力に対応する荷重条件下、その70%にあたる荷重条件下、及び、同じく40%にあたる荷重条件下において得られるコーナリングパワーを測定した。
各供試タイヤを、上記と同様の条件のもと車両に装着し、走行試験用ドラム上で、該ドラムを100km/hの速度で回転させるとともに、マイク移動式でノイズ(騒音)レベルを測定した。結果を表1に示す。結果は、比較例タイヤ1とのノイズレベルの差をもって評価している。数値が小さい方が、騒音の低減効果に優れていることを意味する。
各供試タイヤを、上記と同様の条件のもと車両に装着し、走行試験用ドラム上で、該ドラムを100km/hの速度で回転させて転がり抵抗を測定した。結果を表1に示す。結果は、比較例タイヤ1の転がり抵抗を100として指数評価したものである。なお、指数が小さいほど、転がり抵抗性能に優れていることを示している。
