2. Description of the Related Art In order to improve the wet performance of tires, especially hydroplaning resistance, and to reduce noise, the tread should have a wide circumferential groove extending along its circumference and the equator of the tire. It is advantageous to arrange transverse grooves which extend with a strong inclination and intersect the circumferential groove.

However, if the inclination of the lateral groove is increased when the circumferential groove and the lateral groove intersect, the corner of the land portion at the intersection becomes an acute angle, and the rigidity of this portion decreases, so that the corner wears. Progresses later than in other areas, which causes uneven wear. Therefore, there is a limit in reducing the inclination angle of the lateral groove, which is an obstacle in improving wet performance. It should be noted that if the lateral groove is not opened in the circumferential groove and the end thereof is stopped in the land portion, wear can be promoted uniformly, but the drainage performance will be greatly reduced.

On the other hand, while maintaining the arrangement of the circumferential groove and the lateral groove, as a method for avoiding uneven wear due to a delay in wear at an acute-angled corner portion formed in the intersection area between the two, the corner portion is reduced in advance, so-called.

This chamfer is usually cut and removed diagonally from the land surface to the bottom of the groove facing the corner of the corner, leaving an inclined plane. However, from the start of tire use to the initial wear, it is disadvantageous in that the contact area in the land area becomes too small and the ground contact is poor, and the space expands to the corners and its surroundings, so the design of the tread It can be a drawback.

This tread has a central circumferential groove 1 extending on the equator (circumference at the width center of the tread) O of the tire, and a central circumferential groove thereof. 1, a pair of peripheral grooves 2 on both sides of this groove, a main inclined groove 3 extending from the tread end T in a direction inclined with respect to the equator O of the tire and joining the central peripheral groove 1, and the main inclined groove 3 A plurality of blocks 5 are provided near the tread end T and blocks 6 and 7 on both sides of the central circumferential groove 1 are partitioned by the sub-sloping groove 4 that merges with each other. In addition,
In the illustrated tread pattern, the sub-tilt groove 4 is merged with the main tilt groove 3, but the sub-tilt groove 4 may be omitted. That is, the present invention is applicable to all tread patterns having a groove having an acute-angled corner portion of a land formed by joining with another groove.

The main inclined groove 3 extends from both ends T of the tread toward the central circumferential groove 1 with a gentle inclination, crosses the circumferential groove 2 and then joins with the central circumferential groove 1 at a point P by strengthening the inclination, and this confluence. A corner portion 8 forming an acute angle near the point has a central circumferential groove 1 and a main inclined groove 3
It is divided by. On the other hand, the sub-inclined groove 4 extends in the tread side region in parallel with the gentle inclined portion of the main inclined groove 3, and at the point Q on the steep inclined portion of the main inclined groove 3 in the substantially intermediate region between the tread center and the tread end. Merging is performed, and a corner portion 9 is defined by the main inclined groove 3 and the auxiliary inclined groove 4 in the vicinity of the confluence Q.

It is important that the corners 8 and 9 be chamfered so that a convex surface remains on the outer side in the tire radial direction as shown in the cross section in FIG. This chamfering is performed along the mainstream groove, that is, the central circumferential groove 1 at the corner 8 and the main inclined groove 3 at the corner 9, respectively, over a range of a distance 1 from the confluence point P or Q of 5 to 30 mm. Apply to avoid uneven wear of the tread. The chamfer is the equator O of the tire.
It is particularly effective to apply it to the corners on both sides of each of the areas, each of which spans 1/4 of the tread width.

Further, the main inclined groove 3 is formed with respect to the central circumferential groove 1.
It is particularly preferable in terms of drainability that the sub-inclined groove 4 joins the main inclined groove 3 at an inclination angle β of 10 to 40 °, and that the auxiliary inclined groove 4 joins at the inclination angle β of 10 to 40 °.

In the tread, the groove extending in the direction intersecting with the circumferential groove is an inclined groove having a large inclination angle with respect to the circumferential groove to facilitate the flow of water to the end side of the tread, and to reduce the hydraulic resistance when stepping on the tread. Further, the drainage can be improved by opening the inclined groove to the peripheral groove and guiding the water flowing in the peripheral groove from the inclined groove to the tread end side.

However, by connecting the inclined groove to the peripheral groove and further to the other inclined groove, the corner of the land portion defined by each groove becomes an acute angle, which causes a disadvantage that becomes a core of uneven wear. In order to eliminate this core of uneven wear, it is extremely effective to chamfer the sharpened corners, but the amount of reduction is too large in the conventional chamfer that leaves an inclined flat surface as shown in FIG. However, this void is likely to be a new cause of pattern noise, and the rigidity of the land portion may be insufficient.

Therefore, in the present invention, when chamfering a corner, by leaving a convex surface outward in the tire radial direction as shown in FIG. Achieve without reducing rigidity. Especially, in the vicinity of the chamfering start edge of the land part, a higher ground contact pressure can be obtained compared to the chamfering shown in FIG. 3, so movement of the land part at the time of ground contact can be suppressed, and uneven wear resistance and steering stability are improved. Is effective for.

In the chamfering of the corners, it is difficult to avoid uneven wear unless the distance l from the confluence point P or Q along the main groove is within the range of 5 mm or more. When applied over a range of more than 30 mm, the ratio of land area occupying the tread tread will decrease, not only the grip force will decrease due to lack of contact surface, but also the groove volume will increase.
Therefore, the pattern noise is deteriorated, so it is necessary to set the range to 5 to 30 mm. The chamfering range is preferably expanded as the angle of the corner (that is, the angles α and β of the inclined groove) is smaller. In addition, the chamfer depth is the depth of the groove from the land surface to the bottom of the groove that divides the corner.
It is preferable to apply up to 1/2 or more positions.
