portion (5a,5b) and a gently slant groove portion (6a,6b), and the steeply
slant groove portion comprises a pseudo-land part (14) of a given shape,
and can improve the drainage performance without sacrificing the other tire
performances. Such a tire is in particular characterized in that an opening
groove width (W1) located at the end (8) of the steeply slant groove portion
(5a,5b) which is close to a tread end is wider than an opening groove width
(W2) located at the end (9) of the steeply slant groove portion which is
close to the tire equatorial plane, and the steeply slant groove portion
extending in a longitudinal direction of the slant groove (7a,7b) comprises
a groove edge part (31) forming a boundary to an outer surface (33) of a
tread land portion, a main groove bottom part (32) mainly forming a groove
bottom of the steeply slant groove portion, and a pseudo-land part (14)
located in the groove edge part (31) and adjacent to at least one of both side
edges (32a,32b) of the main groove bottom part (32), and the pseudo-land
part (14) has such a slant surface (13) that a height thereof is gradually

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for producing a glass preform for an
optical fibre having a uniform J ratio (see below) by adjusting
the weight of glass particles to be deposited on a starting glass
rod (1). The method uses an OVD method by which glass particles are
successively deposited on an external cylindrical surface of
a starting glass rod (1) to create a growing soot layer (3)
thereon and the soot layer (3) is then vitrified into a
transparent glassy body, characterized in that the glass
particle deposition is conducted by adjusting an amount of
glass particles to be deposited based on data of J ratio
fluctuations (where the J ratio is a ratio of an outer diameter
of a glass preform to an outer diameter of a starting glass
rod) of a previously produced glass preform in its longitudinal
direction so that the glass preform to be produced can attain
a uniform J ratio in its longitudinal direction.
