Patent ID: 11833867

Abstract:
The present invention provides a tire that uses an elastomer-metal cord composite, which composite is obtained by coating metal cords with an elastomer, each metal cord being composed of a bundle of metal filaments arranged without being twisted, and which composite is capable of highly improving the performance of the tire. The above described tire is one including a belt (105) which includes at least two belt layers (105a) and (105b). In this tire, the belt layers (105a) and (105b) are each obtained by coating metal cords (2) with an elastomer (3), each metal cord (2) being composed of a bundle of a plurality of metal filaments (1) arranged in a row without being twisted; at least one pair of adjacent metal filaments in the metal cord (2) differ in at least one of the amount of shaping and shaping pitch; each of the belt layers (105a) and (105b) has a thickness t1 of more than 0.30 mm and less than 1.00 mm; and the distance g in the tire radial direction between the metal cords (2) in the two adjacent belt layers (105a) and (105b) is 0.10 mm or more and 1.20 mm or less at the center of the tire.
