Title: Pneumatic tire and method of manufacturing the same

IPC: B60C9/04
Filed: 2009-01-14
Abstract: <P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pneumatic tire and a method of manufacturing the same for effectively preventing peeling of a splice part in a tread part.  <P>SOLUTION: The splice part St of the tread member 6 is formed to be inclined to a tire width direction, therefore, the splice part St becomes longer compared to the one not to be inclined. Under this configuration, an inclination angle α2 of the splice part St after being molded satisfies θ2-15°≤α2≤θ2+15° and 50°≤α2≤85°, and the inclination angle α2 of the tread member 6 becomes near the inclination angle θ2 of a splice part Sc of a carcass member 7, increasing the angle change after vulcanization to extend the splice part St. This reduces force received by an interface of the splice part St per unit length. Moreover, the flow of the rubber during vulcanization becomes larger to increase a press-bonding property at the joint part, thus increasing joint strength of the splice part St.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
