Pneumatic tire
In a pneumatic tire including a carcass layer mounted between a pair of bead portions and a belt reinforcing layer disposed on an outer circumferential side of the carcass layer, the carcass layer is formed of a carcass cord made of an organic fiber cord, an elongation at break of the carcass cord is set to 20% or more, an elongation under a load of 1.5 cN/dtex of the carcass cord in sidewall portions is set to from 5.0% to 8.0%, the belt reinforcing layer is formed of a cover cord made of an organic fiber cord, and a tensile strength of the cover cord per width of 50 mm at a 3.0% elongation is set to from 2.8 kN to 4.0 kN.
1. 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 portions in a tire radial direction;
at least one carcass layer mounted between the pair of bead portions;
a plurality of belt layers disposed on an outer circumferential side of the carcass layer in the tread portion; and
a belt reinforcing layer disposed on an outer circumferential side of the belt layers;
the carcass layer being formed of a carcass cord made of an organic fiber cord, an elongation at break of the carcass cord being 20% or more, an elongation under a load of 1.5 cN/dtex of the carcass cord in the sidewall portions being from 6.2% to 8.0%,
the belt reinforcing layer being formed of a cover cord made of an organic fiber cord, an angle of the cover cord with respect to the tire circumferential direction being set to from 0° to 5° , and a tensile strength of the cover cord per width of 50 mm at a 3.0% elongation being from 2.8 kN to 4.0 kN,
the belt layer being formed of belt cords, an inclination angle of the belt cords with respect to the tire circumferential direction being set within a range of from 10° to 40° .
2. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein a twist coefficient K of the carcass cord represented by Formula (1) ranges from 2000 to 2500:
K=T×D 1/2 (1)
(where T is a cable twist count (times/10 cm) of the carcass cord and D is a total fineness (dtex) of the carcass cord).
3. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein the carcass cord includes a polyethylene terephthalate fiber.
4. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein the cover cord includes an aromatic polyamide fiber.
5. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein a thermal shrinkage rate of the carcass cord ranges from 0.5% to 2.5%.
6. The pneumatic tire according to claim 5 , wherein a twist coefficient K of the carcass cord represented by Formula (1) ranges from 2000 to 2500:
K=T×D 1/2 (1)
(where T is a cable twist count (times/10 cm) of the carcass cord and D is a total fineness (dtex) of the carcass cord).
7. The pneumatic tire according to claim 6 , wherein the carcass cord includes a polyethylene terephthalate fiber.
8. The pneumatic tire according to claim 7 , wherein the cover cord includes an aromatic polyamide fiber.
