Description
トレッド部を有する空気入りタイヤであって、
前記トレッド部を形成するゴム層の少なくとも1層が、イソプレン系ゴム、スチレンブタジエンゴムおよびブタジエンゴムを含有するゴム成分を含むと共に、
前記ゴム成分100質量部に対してカーボンブラックを5質量部超、25質量部以下含み、
正規リムに組み込み、内圧を250kPaとした際のタイヤの断面幅をWt(mm)、外径をDt(mm)とし、タイヤが占める空間の体積を仮想体積V(mm3)としたとき、下記(式1)および(式2)を満足することを特徴とする空気入りタイヤである。
1700≦(Dt2×π/4)/Wt≦2827.4 ・・・(式1)
[(V+1.5×107)/Wt]≦2.88×105 ・・・(式2)
最初に、本開示に係るタイヤの特徴について説明する。
本開示に係るタイヤは、トレッド部を形成するゴム層の少なくとも1層が、イソプレン系ゴム、スチレンブタジエンゴムおよびブタジエンゴムを含有するゴム成分を含むと共に、ゴム成分100質量部に対してカーボンブラックを5質量部超、25質量部以下含む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+1.5×107)/Wt]≦2.88×105 ・・・(式2)
V=[(Dt/2)2-{(Dt/2)-Ht}2]×π×Wt
本開示に係るタイヤにおける効果発現のメカニズム、即ち、高速走行時における転がり抵抗が十分に低減され、耐久性が十分に改善されるメカニズムについては、以下のように推測される。
上記したように、本開示においては、タイヤの断面幅Wt(mm)と外径Dt(mm)とが、1700≦(Dt2×π/4)/Wt≦2827.4(式1)を満足するようにしている。
本開示においては、さらに、トレッド部を形成するゴム層の少なくとも1層を、イソプレン系ゴム、スチレンブタジエンゴムおよびブタジエンゴムをゴム成分として含むゴム組成物によって形成している。これにより、3つのゴム層のうちのいずれか1つを島相としたミクロ構造に形成させることができ、トレッド内部での入力を緩和させることができると考えられる。
本開示に係るタイヤは、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。
本開示に係るタイヤは、扁平率が40%以上のタイヤであることが好ましく、これにより、接地した際のたわみによる接地面の増加が生じるため、悪路路面ですべりが生じにくくなると考えられる。また、トレッド部における発熱の寄与を下げて、タイヤの変形を、全体に亘って均一にさせることができ、タイヤのトータルの発熱性を十分に低下させることができるため、高速走行時における転がり抵抗をさらに低減させることができる。
(Ht/Wt)×100(%)
断面幅Wtが小さくなるに従って、転動時にトレッド部にかかる単位面積当たりの力が大きくなり、チッピングが発生し易くなる恐れがある。そこで、本開示者は、断面幅Wtの大きさに対応して、カーボンブラックの配合量を増加させ、断面幅Wtとカーボンブラックの配合量との積が一定以上に保たれていれば、トレッド部での補強性が断面幅Wtに応じて高められ、耐チッピング性が向上すると考え、具体的に、カーボンブラックの配合量CB(質量部)とタイヤの断面幅Wt(mm)との関係について検討したところ、CB×Wt≧900(式5)を満足していれば、幅に応じて耐チッピング性をコントロールできることが分かった。
本開示に係るタイヤは、タイヤ周方向に連続して延びる周方向溝をトレッド部に有しており、トレッド部の接地面における周方向溝の溝幅L0に対する周方向溝の最大の深さの80%の深さにおける溝幅L80の比(L80/L0)が、0.3~0.7であることが好ましい。これにより、トレッド部の陸部の底面で陸部全体の動きを抑制することができるため、トレッド部における欠けの発生を抑制することができると考えられる。0.35~0.65であるとより好ましく、0.40~0.60であるとさらに好ましく、0.45~0.55であると特に好ましい。なお、周方向溝は、タイヤ周方向に連続して延びる溝であればよく、ジグザグ状、波状など、直線状でない溝も周方向溝に含まれる。
本開示に係るタイヤにおいて、正規リムに組み込み、内圧を250kPaとした際、具体的な外径Dt(mm)としては、例えば、515mm以上であることが好ましく、558mm以上であるとより好ましく、585mm以上であるとさらに好ましく、649mm以上であるとさらに好ましく、658mm以上であると特に好ましく、663mm以上であるとさらに好ましく、664mm以上であるとさらに好ましく、665mm以上であるとさらに好ましく、672mm以上であるとさらに好ましく、673mm以上であると最も好ましい。
また、本開示に係るタイヤは、トレッド部のゴム層の、30℃、周波数10Hz、初期歪5%、動歪率1%の条件下で測定された損失正接(30℃tanδ)が0.150未満であることが好ましく、0.147以下であるとより好ましい。これにより、トレッド部での発熱性を低減させて、高速走行時における転がり抵抗の低減に顕著な効果を発揮させることができる。
以下、実施の形態に基づいて、本開示を具体的に説明する。
本開示に係るタイヤのトレッド部を形成するゴム組成物は、以下に記載するゴム成分、充填剤、軟化剤、加硫剤および加硫促進剤などの各種配合材料について、その種類や量を、適宜、調整することにより得ることができる。
本実施の形態において、ゴム成分としては、イソプレン系ゴム、スチレンブタジエンゴム(SBR)およびブタジエンゴム(BR)を含有している。このように、ゴム成分を3成分系とすることにより、前記したように、3つのゴム相のうちのいずれか1つを島相としたミクロ構造に形成させることができる。

ゴム成分100質量部中のBRの含有量は、例えば、耐摩耗性の観点から35質量部超が好ましく、40質量部超であるとより好ましい。一方、高速走行時の転がり抵抗の観点からは、55質量部未満が好ましく、50質量部未満がより好ましい。BRの重量平均分子量は、例えば、10万超、200万未満である。BRのビニル結合量は、例えば1質量%超、30質量%未満である。BRのシス量は、例えば1質量%超、98質量%未満である。BRのトランス量は、例えば1質量%超、60質量%未満である。

本実験においては、175サイズのタイヤを作製し、評価した。

表1および表2に示す各配合内容に従い、バンバリーミキサーを用いて、硫黄および加硫促進剤以外の材料を150℃の条件下で5分間混練りして、混練物を得た。なお、各配合量は、質量部である。
次に、得られた混練物に、硫黄および加硫促進剤を添加し、オープンロールを用いて、80℃の条件下で5分間練り込み、トレッドゴム組成物を得た。得られたトレッドゴム組成物を用いてトレッドを成形し、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1-1~比較例1-7)を製造した。
その後、各試験用タイヤについて、トレッド部のゴム層の厚みTd(mm)、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。
(1)高速走行時における転がり抵抗の評価
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、250kPaの内圧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10km周回した後、アクセルを離し、アクセルをオフにしてから車両が止まるまでの距離を、高速走行時における転がり抵抗として、計測した。
転がり抵抗=[(試験用タイヤの計測結果)/(比較例1-5の計測結果)]×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、250kPaの内圧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10km周回した後、そのまま砂地コースを周回させた。周回完了後、タイヤのトレッド部に生じたブロックの欠けの数及び大きさを積算し、その逆数を算出した。
耐チッピング=[(試験用タイヤの算出結果)/(比較例1-7の算出結果)]×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。
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転がり抵抗が十分に低減され、耐チッピングが改善された空気入りタイヤを提供できることが分かる。
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、上記した高速走行時における転がり抵抗および耐チッピングの評価に加えて、乗り心地についても評価した。
