By doing so, the RF tag is not placed in a position where distortion is likely to be concentrated due to the difference in rigidity. Therefore, the load applied to the RF tag can be reduced.
- the RF tag is not placed at a position that is a boundary between the end of the carcass and a member (for example, side rubber, etc.) adjacent to the end of the carcass in a cross-sectional view in the tire width direction.
- the number of RF tags is not particularly limited.
- a tire may include only one RF tag, or may include two or more RF tags.
- an RF tag is illustrated as an example of a communication device, but a communication device other than an RF tag may be used.
- the RF tag may be placed, for example, in the tread of a tire. In this way, the RF tag will not be damaged by the side cut of the tire.
- the RF tag may be placed, for example, in the center of the tread in the tire width direction.
- the central portion of the tread is a position where deflection is difficult to concentrate in the tread portion. By doing so, the load applied to the RF tag can be reduced. Thereby, the durability of the RF tag can be improved. Further, it is possible to suppress differences in communication with the RF tag from both outsides of the tire in the tire width direction.
- the RF tag may be arranged, for example, in the tire width direction within a range of 1/2 of the tread width centered on the tire equatorial plane.
- the RF tag may be placed, for example, at the edge of the tread in the width direction of the tire. If the position of the reader communicating with the RF tag is predetermined, the RF tag may be placed, for example, at one tread end close to the reader. In this example, the RF tag may be arranged, for example, in the tire width direction within a range of 1/4 of the tread width, with the tread end being the outer end.
- the RF tag may be placed closer to the inner cavity of the tire than the carcass, which includes one or more carcass plies spanning between the bead portions.

- a reinforcing belt layer when a reinforcing belt layer is provided, it may be disposed on the outer side of the reinforcing belt layer in the tire radial direction and in close contact with the reinforcing belt layer.
- the RF tag may be embedded in the tread rubber outside the belt in the tire radial direction.
- the RF tag Since the RF tag is disposed in the tread portion of the tire outside the belt in the tire radial direction, communication with the RF tag from outside the tire in the tire radial direction is less likely to be obstructed by the belt. Therefore, communication with the RF tag from the outside of the tire in the tire radial direction can be improved. Further, the RF tag may be placed, for example, in the tread portion of the tire, inside the belt in the tire radial direction. In this way, since the outside of the RF tag in the tire radial direction is covered by the belt, the RF tag is less likely to be damaged by impact from the tread surface or nail penetration. As an example of this, the RF tag may be placed in the tread portion of a tire between a belt and a carcass located inside the belt in the tire radial direction.
- the RF tag may be placed, for example, at the sidewall or bead of the tire.

- the RF tag may be placed, for example, in the tire radial direction between the tire maximum width position and the tread surface position.
- the RF tag may be placed, for example, on the inner side of the tire in the radial direction from the position where the tire is at its maximum width. By doing so, the RF tag is placed near the highly rigid bead portion. Therefore, the load applied to the RF tag can be reduced. Thereby, the durability of the RF tag can be improved.

カーカスコードをゴム被覆してなる1枚以上のカーカスプライからなるカーカスと、
前記カーカスのクラウン部のタイヤ径方向外側に配置され、タイヤ周方向に対して傾斜して延びるベルトコードをゴム被覆してなるベルトプライからなる1層のみの傾斜ベルト層からなるベルトと、を備えた、乗用車用空気入りラジアルタイヤであって、
前記タイヤの断面幅SWが165(mm)未満であり、
前記タイヤの断面幅SWと外径ODとの比SW/ODは、0.26以下であり、又は、前記タイヤの断面幅SW(mm)及び外径OD(mm)が、関係式、
OD(mm)≧-0.0187×SW(mm)2+9.15×SW(mm)-380(mm)を満たし、
前記カーカスは、前記カーカスコードがラジアル配列である第1のタイヤ幅方向部分と、前記カーカスコードがタイヤ周方向に対して傾斜して延びる第2のタイヤ幅方向部分と、を有し、
前記カーカスは、前記ビード部から前記ベルトのタイヤ径方向内側まで延びる、カーカス本体部を有し、
前記第2のタイヤ幅方向部分は、前記車両装着時外側のタイヤ幅方向半部に位置し、
前記第2のタイヤ幅方向部分における前記カーカス本体部の前記カーカスコードと前記ベルトコードとが、タイヤ径方向外側から見た際に、互いに交差する方向に延びていることを特徴とする、乗用車用空気入りラジアルタイヤ。
ここで、「互いに交差する方向に延びる」とは、タイヤ径方向外側から見た際に交差する場合に限られず、カーカスコードまたはベルトコードを延長した際に交差する場合も含まれる。
また、「規定内圧」とは、上記JATMA等に記載されている、適用サイズ・プライレーティングにおける単輪の最大負荷能力に対応する空気圧(最高空気圧)を指し、上記産業規格に記載のないサイズの場合は、「規定内圧」は、タイヤを装着する車両毎に規定される最大負荷能力に対応する空気圧(最高空気圧)をいうものとする。
また、「最大負荷荷重」とは、上記最大負荷能力に対応する荷重をいうものとする。
本発明の一実施形態の乗用車用空気入りラジアルタイヤ(以下、単にタイヤとも称する)は、タイヤの断面幅SWが165(mm)未満であり、タイヤの断面幅SWと外径ODとの比SW/ODは、0.26以下であり、狭幅・大径の形状をなしている。タイヤの断面幅SWをタイヤの外径ODに比して狭くすることにより、空気抵抗を低減することができ、且つ、タイヤの外径ODをタイヤの断面幅SWに比して大きくすることにより、タイヤの接地面付近でのトレッドゴムの変形を抑制して、転がり抵抗を低減することができ、これらにより、タイヤの燃費性を向上させることができる。上記SW/ODは、0.25以下とすることが好ましく、0.24以下とすることがより好ましい。
上記比は、タイヤの内圧が200kPa以上である場合に満たされるものであることが好ましく、220kPa以上である場合に満たされるものであることがより好ましく、280kPa以上である場合に満たされるものであることがさらに好ましい。転がり抵抗を低減することができるからである。一方で、上記比は、タイヤの内圧が350kPa以下である場合に満たされるものであることが好ましい。乗り心地性を向上させることができるからである。
ここで、タイヤの断面幅SWは、105~145mmとすることが好ましく、115~135mmとすることがより好ましい。
また、タイヤの扁平率は、タイヤの断面幅SW及び外径ODが上記比を満たすとき、45~70とすることがより好ましく、45~65とすることがより好ましい。
具体的なタイヤサイズは、特に限定されるものではないが、一例として、105/50R16、115/50R17、125/55R20、125/60R18、125/65R19、135/45R21、135/55R20、135/60R17、135/60R18、135/60R19、135/65R19、145/45R21、145/55R20、145/60R16、145/60R17、145/60R18、145/60R19、145/65R19、155/45R18、155/45R21、155/55R18、155/55R19、155/55R21、155/60R17、155/65R18、155/70R17、155/70R19のいずれかとすることができる。
OD(mm)≧-0.0187×SW(mm)2+9.15×SW(mm)-380
を満たしており、狭幅・大径の形状をなしている。
上記の関係式を満たすことにより、空気抵抗を低減することができ、且つ、転がり抵抗を低減することができ、これらにより、タイヤの燃費性を向上させることができる。
なお、第3の態様において、タイヤの断面幅SW及び外径ODは、上記の関係式を満たした上で、比SW/ODが0.26以下であることが好ましく、0.25以下であることがより好ましく、0.24以下であることがさらに好ましい。タイヤの燃費性をさらに向上させることができるからである。
上記関係式及び/又は比は、タイヤの内圧が200kPa以上である場合に満たされるものであることが好ましく、220kPa以上である場合に満たされるものであることがより好ましく、280kPa以上である場合に満たされるものであることがさらに好ましい。転がり抵抗を低減することができるからである。一方で、上記関係式及び/又は比は、タイヤの内圧が350kPa以下である場合に満たされるものであることが好ましい。乗り心地性を向上させることができるからである。
ここで、タイヤの断面幅SWは、105~145mmとすることが好ましく、115~135mmとすることがより好ましい。
また、タイヤの扁平率は、タイヤの断面幅SW及び外径ODが上記関係式を満たすとき、45~70とすることがより好ましく、45~65とすることがより好ましい。
具体的なタイヤサイズは、特に限定されるものではないが、一例として、105/50R16、115/50R17、125/55R20、125/60R18、125/65R19、135/45R21、135/55R20、135/60R17、135/60R18、135/60R19、135/65R19、145/45R21、145/55R20、145/60R16、145/60R17、145/60R18、145/60R19、145/65R19、155/45R18、155/45R21、155/55R18、155/55R19、155/55R21、155/60R17、155/65R18、155/70R17、155/70R19のいずれかとすることができる。
本実施形態において、ベルト層のベルトコードとしては、金属コード、特にスチールコードを用いるのが最も好ましいが、非金属、例えば有機繊維コード(例えばケブラー(登録商標)等)を用いることもできる。スチールコードはスチールを主成分とし、炭素、マンガン、ケイ素、リン、硫黄、銅、クロムなど種々の微量含有物を含むことができる。本実施形態において、ベルト層のベルトコードはモノフィラメントコードや、複数のフィラメントを引き揃えたコード、複数のフィラメントを撚り合せたコードを用いることができる。撚り構造も種々のものを採用することができ、断面構造、撚りピッチ、撚り方向、隣接するフィラメント同士の距離も様々なものとすることができる。さらには異なる材質のフィラメントを撚り合せたコードを用いることもでき、断面構造としても特に限定されず、単撚り、層撚り、複撚りなど様々な撚り構造を取ることができる。
本実施形態では、ベルト層のベルトコードの傾斜角度は、タイヤ周方向に対して10°以上とすることが好ましい。本実施形態では、ベルト層のベルトコードの傾斜角度を高角度、具体的にはタイヤ周方向に対して20°以上、特にタイヤ周方向に対して20°~45°の範囲とすることが好ましい。傾斜角度を20°以上とすることにより、タイヤ幅方向に対する剛性を高め、特にコーナリング時の操縦安定性能を向上させることができるからである。また、層間ゴムのせん断変形を減少させて、転がり抵抗を低減することができるからである。
図示例では、ベルト4の端は、第1のタイヤ幅方向部分301内に位置している。図示例では、キャップ層8のタイヤ幅方向の幅は、ベルト4のタイヤ幅方向の幅よりも小さい。
第2のタイヤ幅方向部分302のタイヤ幅方向内側端の位置は、ベルト4のタイヤ幅方向端からタイヤ幅方向外側に、ベルト4のタイヤ幅方向の幅の10~40%離間していることが好ましい。
ここで、本実施形態のタイヤは、1層のみの傾斜ベルト層からなるベルトを備えているため、当該ベルトコードの傾斜方向(図4では右上がり及び左下がりの方向)に対してトレッドゴムが伸びにくくなっている。これに対し、本実施形態のタイヤは、さらに、ラジアル配列のカーカスコードを有する第1のタイヤ幅方向部分301と、傾斜したカーカスコードを有する第2のタイヤ幅方向部分302とを有し、車両装着時外側のタイヤ幅方向半部に位置する第2のタイヤ幅方向部分302におけるカーカス本体部3aのカーカスコードとベルトコードとが、タイヤ径方向外側から見た際に、互いに交差する方向に延びている。このため第2のタイヤ幅方向部分302におけるカーカス本体部3aのカーカスコードには、ラジアル配列に復元しようとする力が働き、当該力の向き(図4では右上がり及び左下がりの方向)へのトレッドゴムの伸びを助長することができる。これにより、ベルトコードの傾斜方向へトレッドゴムが伸びにくくなるのを緩和して、図6に模式的に示すように接地形状を改善し、操縦安定性等の運動性能を向上させることができる。
なお、乗用車用空気入りラジアルタイヤは、車両の左輪に装着され、ベルトコードは、タイヤ径方向外側から見た際に左下から右上に向かって傾斜して延びていることができ(図7)、あるいは、車両の右輪に装着され、ベルトコードは、タイヤ径方向外側から見た際に右下から左上に向かって傾斜して延びていることもできる。
また、図9に示すように、タイヤ赤道面におけるトレッド表面上の点を通りタイヤ幅方向に平行な直線をm1とし、接地端Eを通りタイヤ幅方向に平行な直線をm2として、直線m1と直線m2とのタイヤ径方向の距離を落ち高LCRとし、タイヤのトレッド幅をTWとするとき、比LCR/TWが0.045超であることが好ましい。これにより、クラウン形状が比較的丸いタイヤとなるため、接地形状をショルダー部の接地長がセンター部対比で短い、丸い形状にすることができる。これにより、キャンバ角の変化時に接地形状が細長くなり過ぎないようにして、接地形状の悪化をさらに抑制することができる。「接地端」は、タイヤをリムに装着し、規定内圧を充填し、最大負荷荷重を負荷した際の接地面(路面と接する面)のタイヤ幅方向両端をいう。「トレッド幅」は、タイヤをリムに装着し、規定内圧を充填し、無負荷とした際の、接地端間のタイヤ幅方向距離をいう。
ここでのタイヤ・リム組立体は、上記の乗用車用空気入りラジアルタイヤをリムに組み込んでなるものである。当該タイヤ・リム組立体によれば、上記乗用車用空気入りラジアルタイヤについて説明したのと同様の作用効果を得ることができる。このとき、タイヤ・リム組立体の内圧は、200kPa以上であることが好ましく、220kPa以上であることがより好ましく、280kPa以上であることがさらに好ましい。高内圧とすることで転がり抵抗をより低減することができるからである。一方で、タイヤ・リム組立体の内圧は、350kPa以下であることが好ましい。乗り心地性を向上させることができるからである。
ここでの乗用車用空気入りラジアルタイヤの使用方法は、上記乗用車用空気入りラジアルタイヤを使用する。当該乗用車用空気入りラジアルタイヤの使用方法によれば、上記乗用車用空気入りラジアルタイヤについて説明したのと同様の作用効果を得ることができる。このとき、内圧を200kPa以上として使用することが好ましく、220kPa以上として使用することがより好ましく、280kPa以上として使用することがさらに好ましい。高内圧とすることで転がり抵抗をより低減することができるからである。一方で、内圧を350kPa以下として使用することが好ましい。乗り心地性を向上させることができるからである。
図8に示すように、タイヤは、通信装置500としてのRFタグを備えてよい。RFタグは、ICチップとアンテナとを備える。RFタグは、例えば、タイヤを構成する同種又は異種の複数の部材の間の位置に挟み込まれて配置されてよい。このようにすることで、タイヤ生産時にRFタグを取り付け易く、RFタグを備えるタイヤの生産性を向上させることができる。本例では、RFタグは、例えば、ビードフィラと、ビードフィラに隣接するその他の部材と、の間に挟み込まれて配置されてよい。RFタグは、タイヤを構成するいずれかの部材内に埋設されていてもよい。このようにすることで、タイヤを構成する複数の部材の間の位置に挟み込まれて配置される場合と比較して、RFタグに加わる負荷を低減できる。これにより、RFタグの耐久性を向上させることができる。本例では、RFタグは、例えば、トレッドゴム、サイドゴム等のゴム部材内に埋設されてよい。RFタグは、タイヤ幅方向断面視でのタイヤ外面に沿う方向であるペリフェリ長さ方向において、剛性の異なる部材の境界となる位置に、配置されないことが好ましい。このようにすることで、RFタグは、剛性段差に基づき歪みが集中し易い位置に、配置されない。そのため、RFタグに加わる負荷を低減できる。これにより、RFタグの耐久性を向上させることができる。本例では、RFタグは、例えば、タイヤ幅方向断面視でカーカスの端部と、このカーカスの端部に隣接する部材(例えばサイドゴム等)と、の境界となる位置に配置されないことが好ましい。RFタグの数は特に限定されない。タイヤは、1個のみのRFタグを備えてもよく、2個以上のRFタグを備えてもよい。ここでは、通信装置の一例として、RFタグを例示説明しているが、RFタグとは異なる通信装置であってもよい。
持続可能な社会の実現に向けて、SDGsが提唱されている。本発明の一実施形態は、「No.7_エネルギーをみんなに。そしてクリーンに」、No.13_気候変動に具体的な対策を」などに貢献する技術となり得ると考えられる。
