Abstract

A tire includes a circular tire frame body formed of a resin-containing material. The resin material has a sea-island structure including a sea phase constituted by a first resin material and an island phase constituted by a second resin material, and the island phase is harder than the sea phase.

Claims (10)

1. A tire comprising a circular tire frame body formed of a resin-containing material, a reinforcing cord layer that comprising at least a reinforcing cord that helically wound on an outer circumferential surface of a crown portion of the tire frame,

the resin material having a sea-island structure including a sea phase constituted by a first resin material and an island phase constituted by a second resin material, and the island phase being harder than the sea phase;

wherein an elastic modulus of the resin containing material is 100-700 MPa,

the first thermoplastic resin is a thermoplastic polyamide-based elastomer, and the second resin material is a polyphenylene ether,

the second resin material has a tensile elastic modulus of 1000 MPa or greater,

the content ratio by mass of the first thermoplastic resin to the second resin material is from 70:30 to 80:20,

a tensile elastic modulus γ1 of the first resin material and a content W1 of the first resin material in the entire resin-containing material, and a tensile elastic modulus γ2 of the second resin material and a content W2 of the second resin material in the entire resin-containing material satisfy following Inequality (1):

0.25≦((γ1× W 1)/(γ2× W 2))≦2  Inequality (1)

the reinforcing cord layer is configured to include a resin material, and an outer circumferential portion of the tire frame is formed of the reinforcing cord layer.

2. The tire according to claim 1 , wherein the resin material includes at least one selected from the group consisting of an anti-aging agent, an ultraviolet absorber, a flame retardant, and an antistatic agent.
