Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, in the conventional tire a, since the same number of sipes s are provided in each block g regardless of the size of the block g, the rigidity of the small block g decreases excessively, and wear tends to concentrate. question

Abstract

A pneumatic tire (1) has a shoulder land zone provided with lateral grooves (26) arranged at variable pitches in the tire circumferential direction and extending at an angle of not more than 30 degrees with respect to the tire axial direction. The domains defined between the shoulder lateral grooves include a smallest domain (31S) having the smallest circumferential length and a largest domain (31L, 41L) having the largest circumferential length. The domains are each provided with at least one sipe (32) extending at an angle of not more than 30 degrees with respect to the tire axial direction. The number of the sipe(s) in the smallest domain (31S, 41S) is less than the number of the sipes in the largest domain (31L, 41L).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a pneumatic tire capable of maintaining performance on icy and snowy roads and improving uneven wear resistance. Background technique [0002] known as Figure 7 Shown is a pneumatic tire (also referred to as an all-season tire) a that improves not only running performance on paved roads but also running performance on icy and snowy roads and the like. Such a tire a is provided with a block row in which blocks g divided by shoulder lateral grooves u are arranged in the tire circumferential direction in the shoulder region of the tread portion b. In addition, a sipe s extending in the tire axial direction is formed on the block g. [0003] This type of block g can bite into snowy roads to obtain traction, and in addition, on icy roads, it can obtain greater friction through the edges of the sipe s. Related techniques are as follows. [0004] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-219718 [0005] Howeve...
