PNEUMATIC TIRE
A pneumatic tire includes a circumferential main groove extending in a tire circumferential direction, a block, which is a land portion defined by the circumferential main groove, a sipe extending through the block in a tire width direction, and chamfered portions provided in the sipe. A total length of lengths of the chamfered portions in the tire width direction is less than 70% of a length of the sipe in the tire width direction.
1 . A pneumatic tire, comprising:
a circumferential main groove extending in a tire circumferential direction;
a land portion defined by the circumferential main groove;
a lug groove provided in the land portion, the lug groove extending in a tire width direction;
a sipe provided in the land portion, the sipe extending in the tire width direction; and
a chamfered portion provided in the sipe,
the lug groove, the sipe, and the chamfered portion being disposed in a row, and
a length of the chamfered portion in the tire width direction being less than 70% of a length of the sipe in the tire width direction.
2 . The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein the length of the chamfered portion in the tire width direction is 20% or more of the length of the sipe in the tire width direction.
3 . The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein a length of the lug groove in the tire width direction is 10% or more and 30% or less of an entire length Ws of the sipe.
4 . The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein when a groove depth of the circumferential main groove is D, a depth of the lug groove is Dr, a depth of the sipe is Ds, and a depth of the chamfered portion is Dm, a relationship between depths is D>Dr≥Ds>Dm.
5 . The pneumatic tire according to claim 4 , wherein when a width of the chamfered portion in a direction orthogonal to an extension direction of the sipe in a road contact surface of the land portion is ML, a relationship between ML and the depth Dm of the chamfered portion is ML>Dm.
6 . The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein the chamfered portion is provided on at least one of groove wall surfaces of the sipe.
7 . The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein the chamfered portion is provided at a portion of an entire length of the sipe, and the sipe has a portion not provided with the chamfered portion.
8 . The pneumatic tire according to claim 7 , wherein the portion where the chamfered portion is provided is adjacent to the lug groove.
9 . The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein the lug groove is provided at an edge portion of the land portion in the tire width direction, and the lug groove opens to the circumferential main groove.
10 . The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein the lug groove is provided at a portion other than an edge portion of the land portion in the tire width direction, and the lug groove terminates in the land portion.
11 . The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein one end of the sipe is connected to the lug groove, and an other end of the sipe is connected to the circumferential main groove.
12 . The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein one end of the sipe is connected to the lug groove, and an other end of the sipe terminates in the land portion.
13 . The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein the lug groove comprises two lug grooves, one end of the sipe being connected to one of the two lug grooves and an other end of the sipe being connected to the an other of the two lug grooves.
14 . The pneumatic tire according to claim 2 , wherein a length of the lug groove in the tire width direction is 10% or more and 30% or less of an entire length Ws of the sipe.
15 . The pneumatic tire according to claim 13 , wherein when a groove depth of the circumferential main groove is D, a depth of the lug groove is Dr, a depth of the sipe is Ds, and a depth of the chamfered portion is Dm, a relationship between depths is D>Dr≥Ds>Dm.
16 . The pneumatic tire according to claim 15 , wherein when a width of the chamfered portion in a direction orthogonal to an extension direction of the sipe in a road contact surface of the land portion is ML, a relationship between ML and the depth Dm of the chamfered portion is ML>Dm.
17 . The pneumatic tire according to claim 16 , wherein the chamfered portion is provided on at least one of groove wall surfaces of the sipe.
18 . The pneumatic tire according to claim 17 , wherein the chamfered portion is provided at a portion of an entire length of the sipe, and the sipe has a portion not provided with the chamfered portion.
19 . The pneumatic tire according to claim 18 , wherein the portion where the chamfered portion is provided is adjacent to the lug groove.
20 . The pneumatic tire according to claim 19 , wherein the lug groove comprises two lug grooves, one end of the sipe being connected to one of the two lug grooves and an other end of the sipe being connected to an other of the two lug grooves.
