Abstract

In a pneumatic tire in which a carcass layer is turned up from a tire inner side to a tire outer side around a bead core, an end of a turned up portion of the carcass layer is disposed between a body portion of the carcass layer and a belt layer, a transponder that extends along time circumferential direction is embedded between the turned up portion of the carcass layer and a rubber layer disposed in a sidewall portion on an outer side of the carcass layer, and the transponder is disposed between a position (P1) located on an outer side of and 15 mm away from an upper end of the bead core in a tire radial direction and a position (P2) located on an inner side of and 5 mm away from an end of the belt layer in the tire radial direetion

Claims (34)

1 - 8 . (canceled)

9 . 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; and

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

a bead filler being disposed on an outer circumference of a bead core of each bead portion,

a carcass layer being mounted between the pair of bead portions,

a plurality of belt layers being disposed on an outer circumferential side of the carcass layer in the tread portion, and

the carcass layer being turned up from a tire inner side to a tire outer side around the bead core,

an end of a turned up portion of the carcass layer being disposed between a body portion of the carcass layer and the belt layer,

a transponder that extends along the tire circumferential direction being embedded between the turned up portion of the carcass layer and a rubber layer disposed in the sidewall portion on an outer side of the carcass layer, and

the transponder being disposed between a position located on an outer side of and 15 mm away from an upper end of the bead core in the tire radial direction and a position located on an inner side of and 5 mm away from an end of the belt layer in the tire radial direction.

10 . The pneumatic tire according to claim 9 , wherein the transponder is disposed between the position located on the outer side of and 15 mm away from the upper end of the bead core in the tire radial direction and an upper end of the bead filler.

11 . The pneumatic tire according to claim 9 , wherein the transponder is disposed between a position located on an outer side of and 5 mm away from an upper end of the bead filler in the tire radial direction and the position located on the inner side of and 5 mm away from the end of the belt layer in the tire radial direction.

12 . The pneumatic tire according to claim 9 , wherein a center of the transponder is disposed 10 mm or more away from a splice portion of a tire component in the tire circumferential direction.

13 . The pneumatic tire according to claim 9 , wherein a distance between a cross-sectional center of the transponder and a tire outer surface is 2 mm or more.

14 . The pneumatic tire according to claim 9 , wherein

the transponder is covered with a coating layer, and

the coating layer has a relative dielectric constant of 7 or less.

15 . The pneumatic tire according to claim 9 , wherein

the transponder is covered with a coating layer, and the coating layer has a thickness ranging from 0.5 mm to 3.0 mm.

16 . The pneumatic tire according to claim 9 , wherein

the transponder comprises an IC (integrated circuit) substrate storing data and an antenna transmitting and receiving data, and

the antenna has a helical shape.

17 . The pneumatic tire according to claim 10 , wherein a center of the transponder is disposed 10 mm or more away from a splice portion of a tire component in the tire circumferential direction.

18 . The pneumatic tire according to claim 17 , wherein a distance between a cross-sectional center of the transponder and a tire outer surface is 2 mm or more.

19 . The pneumatic tire according to claim 18 , wherein

the transponder is covered with a coating layer, and

the coating layer has a relative dielectric constant of 7 or less.

20 . The pneumatic tire according to claim 19 , wherein

the transponder is covered with a coating layer, and the coating layer has a thickness ranging from 0.5 mm to 3.0 mm.

21 . The pneumatic tire according to claim 20 , wherein

the transponder comprises an IC substrate storing data and an antenna transmitting and receiving data, and

the antenna has a helical shape.
