TIRE HAVING A PARTICULAR GRAPHIC ELEMENT
The aspects disclosed herein relate to a tire composing elastomeric properties. The tire includes a sidewall and a texture. The texture may include a plurality of strands distributed in a graphic element at a density at most of five strands per square millimeter (mm 2 ), each strand having a mean cross section of between 0.0007 mm 2 and 0.06 mm 2 . The texture includes a plurality of substantially mutually parallel lamellae, the spacing of the lamellae being at most 0.5 mm, with, each lamella having a mean width of between 0.03 mm and 0.3 mm. The texture is recessed into the sidewall with the texture defining the graphic element.
1 . A tire, the tire composing elastomeric properties, comprising:
a sidewall;
a texture including a plurality of strands distributed in a graphic element at a density at least equal to five strands per square millimeter (mm 2 ), each of the plurality of strands having a mean cross section of between 0.0007 mm 2 and 0.06 mm 2 , and/or
the texture including a plurality of lamellae, the plurality of lamellae being substantially parallel with each other, the spacing of the lamellae being equal or less than 0.5 mm, each of the plurality of lamellae having a mean width of between 0.03 mm and 0.3 mm,
wherein the texture is recessed into the sidewall, the texture defining a graphic element.
2 . The tire according to claim 1 , wherein the graphic element is selected from a group of graphic elements comprising at least:
letters;
numbers; and
symbols.
3 . The tire according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of strands or, the lamellae, are flush with the sidewall of the tire.
4 . The tire according to claim 1 , in wherein the plurality of strands or the lamellae are set back in relation to the sidewall of the tire.
5 . The tire according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of strands of the graphic element or the lamellae protrude beyond the sidewall of the tire.
6 . The tire according to claim 1 , wherein the strands or part of the lamellae protrude beyond the sidewall of the tire and another part of the plurality of strands, the lamellae are set back in relation to the sidewall.
