Abstract

A pneumatic tire is provided. A carcass layer includes carcass cords formed of organic fiber cords obtained by intertwining a filament bundle of organic fibers, and includes turn-up portions formed by turning up end portions of a pair of bead portions to an outer side in a tire width direction. The carcass cords have an elongation at break (EB) satisfying EB≥15%. A portion of a belt layer located in a width range of 10% of a width of a second widest belt in the belt layer on each of a left side and a right side of a tire equator line in a tire width direction has a belt angle (θc) satisfying 0.349 rad≤θc≤0.56 rad. The elongation at break (EB) of the carcass cords and the belt angle (θc) satisfy 800<1140×θc+20×EB<1400.

Claims (27)

1 - 5 . (canceled)

6 . A pneumatic tire comprising:

a tread portion extending in a tire circumferential direction and having an annular shape;

a pair of sidewall portions respectively disposed on both sides of the tread portion;

a pair of bead portions each disposed on an inner side of the sidewall portion in a tire radial direction;

at least one carcass layer straddled between the pair of bead portions; and

a plurality of belt layers disposed on an outer side of the carcass layer in the tire radial direction,

the carcass layer comprising carcass cords formed of organic fiber cords obtained by intertwining a filament bundle of organic fibers, and comprising turn-up portions formed by turning up end portions of the pair of bead portions to an outer side in a tire width direction,

the carcass cords having an elongation at break EB satisfying EB≥15%,

a portion of the belt layer located in a width range of 10% of a width of a second widest belt in the belt layer on each of a left side and a right side of a tire equator line in the tire width direction having a belt angle θc satisfying 0.3 rad≤θc≤0.6 rad, and

the elongation at break EB of the carcass cords and the belt angle θc satisfying 800<1140×θc+20×EB<1400.

7 . The pneumatic tire according to claim 6 , wherein

the tread portion comprises a pair of center main grooves extending in the tire circumferential direction with the tire equator line interposed between the center main grooves, and a center land portion defined by the pair of center main grooves,

the center land portion located in the width range of 10% of the width of the second widest belt in the belt layer on each of the left side and the right side of the tire equator line in the tire width direction has an average total gauge GC satisfying 5 mm≤GC≤10 mm, and

the average total gauge GC of a land portion of the tread portion, the elongation at break EB of the carcass cords, and the belt angle θc satisfy 1300≤60×GC+1140×θc+20×EB≤2000.

8 . The pneumatic tire according to claim 6 , wherein

the carcass cords have, under a load of 1.0 cN/dtex, an intermediate elongation EM satisfying EM≤5.0%.

9 . The pneumatic tire according to claim 6 , wherein

the carcass cords have a standard amount fineness CF satisfying 4000 dtex≤CF≤8000 dtex.

10 . The pneumatic tire according to claim 6 , wherein

the carcass cords have, after dip treatment, a twist coefficient CT satisfying CT≥2000 (T/dm)×dtex 0.5 .

11 . The pneumatic tire according to claim 7 , wherein

the carcass cords have, under a load of 1.0 cN/dtex, an intermediate elongation EM satisfying EM≤5.0%.

12 . The pneumatic tire according to claim 11 , wherein

the carcass cords have a standard amount fineness CF satisfying 4000 dtex≤CF≤8000 dtex.

13 . The pneumatic tire according to claim 12 , wherein

the carcass cords have, after dip treatment, a twist coefficient CT satisfying CT≥2000 (T/dm)×dtex 0.5 .
