Abstract

The present technology provides a pneumatic tire that can improve air dispersibility during vulcanizing at the interfaces of a plurality of types of rubber layers integrally formed by rolling or extruding, and that can effectively suppress blister defects. In a pneumatic tire where a plurality of types of rubber layers integrally formed by rolling or extruding, at least one strand of thread is provided at an interface of the plurality of types of rubber.

Claims (14)

1. A pneumatic tire, comprising: a plurality of types of rubber layers integrally formed by rolling or extruding, wherein at least one strand of thread is provided at an interface with the plurality of types of rubber layers, wherein the at least one strand of thread is separate and spaced apart from a carcass layer of the pneumatic tire.

2. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , comprising: a cap tread rubber layer and an undertread rubber layer, integrally formed by extruding, as the plurality of types of rubber layers, wherein the at least one strand of thread is provided at the interface between the cap tread rubber layer and the undertread rubber layer.

3. The pneumatic tire according to claim 2 , wherein with regard to a distance A from an outer end position of the undertread rubber layer to the tire centerline, the thread is provided in a region corresponding to 30% of the distance A from the outer end position of the interface between the cap tread rubber layer and the undertread rubber layer.

4. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , comprising: a tread rubber layer and an edge rubber layer, integrally formed by extruding, as the plurality of types of rubber layers, wherein the at least one strand of thread is provided at the interface between the tread rubber layer and the edge rubber layer.

5. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , comprising: a side rubber layer and a rim cushion rubber layer, integrally formed by extruding, as the plurality of types of rubber layers, wherein at least one strand of thread is provided at the interface between the side rubber layer and the rim cushion rubber layer.

6. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , comprising: an inner liner layer and a tie rubber layer, integrally formed by rolling, as the plurality of types of rubber layers, wherein the at least one strand of thread is provided at the interface between the inner liner layer and the tie rubber layer.

7. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein the thread is provided so as to extend in the tire circumferential direction.

8. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein the breaking strength of the thread is 100 N or less.

9. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein the cord density of the thread is 5 strands/50 mm or less.

10. The pneumatic tire according to claim 2 , wherein the thread is provided so as to extend in the tire circumferential direction.

11. The pneumatic tire according to claim 10 , wherein the breaking strength of the thread is 100 N or less.

12. The pneumatic tire according to claim 11 , wherein the cord density of the thread is 5 strands/50 mm or less.

13. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein one of the plurality of types of rubber layers is positioned between the carcass layer and the at least one strand of thread.

14. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one strand of thread is not in contact with the carcass layer.
