最初に、本発明に係るタイヤの特徴について説明する。
本発明に係るタイヤは、接地面が、熱伝導率が異なる少なくとも2種類のゴム組成物によって形成されていることを特徴としている。
1700≦(Dt2×π/4)/Wt≦2827.4 ・・(式1)

V=[(Dt/2)2-{(Dt/2)-Ht}2]×π×Wt
本発明に係るタイヤにおける効果発現のメカニズム、即ち、高速走行時のグリップ性能、および耐久性能が十分に発揮されるメカニズムについては、以下のように推測される。
本発明に係るタイヤは、以下の態様を取ることにより、さらに大きな効果を得ることができる。
本発明に係るタイヤは、扁平率が40%以上のタイヤであることが好ましい。これにより、サイド部の面積を大きくすることができるため、タイヤ全体の熱放出性がより向上し、トレッド部およびサイド部における剛性の低下を抑制することができ、高速走行時におけるグリップ性能の低下をより抑制することができる。

上記したように、トレッド部の接地面を、熱伝導率が異なる少なくとも2種類のゴム組成物によって形成させることにより、トレッド部内に熱の流れを生じさせて、トレッド全体の変形を抑制することができる。
タイヤの幅が広くなるほど、トレッドセンター部における接地圧が大きくなり、トレッドショルダー部における接地圧との差が大きくなると考えられる。この場合、トレッドのショルダー領域を最も高い熱伝導率Kaのゴム組成物で形成させてもよいが、接地によって効率的に放熱することを考えると、トレッドのセンター領域を熱伝導率Kaのゴム組成物で広く形成させることが好ましく、タイヤの幅が広くなるほど、広く形成させることが好ましい。
本発明に係るタイヤにおいて、熱伝導率が異なる少なくとも2種類のゴム組成物の内、最も低い熱伝導率のゴム組成物について、30℃、周波数10Hz、初期歪5%、動歪率1%の条件下で測定した損失正接(30℃tanδ)は、例えば、0.1以上、0.7以下が好ましく、0.16以下であるとより好ましい。

本実験においては、175サイズのタイヤを作製し、評価した。
最初に、トレッド用ゴム組成物の製造を行った。

(a)熱伝導率が低いゴム組成物の製造
まず、上記した各配合材料を用いて、NRが50質量部、BRが40質量部、SBRが10質量部、カーボンブラック-1が5質量部、カーボンブラック-2が0.1質量部、シリカが50質量部、シランカップリング剤が4質量部、オイルが15質量部、ワックスが1.5質量部、ステアリン酸が2質量部、酸化亜鉛が3質量部、老化防止剤が3質量部、硫黄が1.5質量部、加硫促進剤-1が1質量部、加硫促進剤-2が0.5質量部の配合で、ベース練りおよび仕上げ練りを行い、熱伝導率が低いゴム組成物(Kb:0.30W/m・K)を得た。なお、このゴム組成物について、GABO社製のイプレクサーシリーズを用いて、30℃、周波数10Hz、初期歪5%、動歪率1%の条件下で損失正接(30℃tanδ)を測定したところ、0.14であった。
次に、同じ配合材料を用いて、カーボンブラック-1、カーボンブラック-2、およびシリカを、適宜増量した以外は、同じ配合で、ベース練りおよび仕上げ練りを行い、A~D、4種類の熱伝導率が高いゴム組成物を得た。なお、ゴム組成物A~Dの具体的な熱伝導率Kaは、ゴム組成物Aが0.32W/m・K、ゴム組成物Bが0.41W/m・K、ゴム組成物Cが0.54W/m・K、ゴム組成物Dが0.38W/m・Kである。
次に、熱伝導率が低いゴム組成物と、熱伝導率が高いゴム組成物とを用いて、2軸押出成形することにより、熱伝導率が低いゴム組成物の領域Sbと熱伝導率が高いゴム組成物の領域Saとの差(Sb-Sa)が、表1、表2に示す各値であるトレッドを得た。得られたトレッドを他のタイヤ部材と共に貼り合わせて未加硫タイヤを形成し、170℃の条件下で10分間プレス加硫して、サイズが175タイプの各試験用タイヤ(実施例1-1~実施例1-5および比較例1-3~比較例1-5)を製造した。なお、トレッド部の厚みTdは、13mmとした(30℃tanδ×Td=1.82)。
その後、各試験用タイヤの外径Dt(mm)、断面幅Wt(mm)、断面高さHt(mm)、扁平率(%)を求めるとともに、仮想体積V(mm3)を求めた。併せて、(Ka-Kb)を求めた。結果を、表1および表2に示す。
(1)高速走行時グリップの評価
各試験用タイヤを車輌(国産のFF車、排気量2000cc)の全輪に装着させて、内圧が250kPaとなるように空気を充填した後、乾燥路面のテストコース上を、100km/hの速度で周回し、そのときの周回タイムを計測して評価した。評価は、別途用意した基準タイヤの周回タイムとの差を求め、比較例1-5におけるタイム差を100として、下式に基づいて指数化し、高速走行時グリップを相対的に評価した。数値が大きいほど、高速走行時グリップが優れていることを示す。
高速走行時グリップ=[(試験用タイヤの周回タイム-基準タイヤの周回タイム)/(比較例1-5の周回タイム-基準タイヤの周回タイム)]×100
各試験用タイヤを車輌(国産のFF車、排気量2000cc)の全輪に装着させて、内圧が250kPaとなるように空気を充填した後、過積載状態にて、乾燥路面のテストコース上を、50km/hの速度で10周走行し、80km/hの速度で路面に設けた凹凸に乗り上げる動きを繰り返し行った。そして、再度、50km/hの速度で周回を行い、その後、速度を徐々に上げて、ドライバーが異変を感じた時点における速度を計測した。
耐久性=[(試験用タイヤの結果)/(比較例1-5の結果)]×100
上記(1)、(2)の評価結果を合計して総合評価とした。
各評価の結果を、表1および表2に示す。なお、比較例1-1、比較例1-2では、(Ka-Kb)、(Sb-Sa)のいずれも、値が算出できないため、関係する結果を「-」で示す。
本実験においては、195サイズのタイヤを作製し、評価した。
本実験においては、225サイズのタイヤを作製し、評価した。
実験1~3の結果(表1~表6)より、175サイズ、195サイズ、225サイズ、いずれのサイズのタイヤにおいても、上記した(式1)および(式2)が満たされている場合、高速走行時におけるグリップ性能、および耐久性が十分に改善された空気入りタイヤを提供できることが分かった。
次に、仮想体積Vと断面幅Wtの関係性に大きな差がない3種類(実施例4-1~実施例4-3)のタイヤを、同じ配合で作製し、同様に評価した。なお、ここでは、高速走行時グリップおよび耐久性の評価に加えて、低燃費性についても評価した。
低燃費性=[(試験用タイヤの計測結果)/(実施例4-3の計測結果)]×100
