The functions and effects of the inventions (1) to (7) will be described below. Regarding the invention of the above (1) In the present invention, a sponge-like mousse body having closed cells, which is normally compressed in contact with the entire inner surface of a tire cavity filled with air, is filled in the tire as a buffer. It greatly reduces the risk of puncture without impairing steering stability and ride comfort.Especially, by setting the sponge-like mousse body to the optimal size, tire rim assembly work can be easily performed It is like that. That is, regarding the radial dimension of the sponge-like mousse body,
The m / dt ratio is 0.90-1.
00 must be within the range. When this ratio is less than 0.90, the difference between the rim diameter and the sponge-like mousse body inner diameter becomes large when assembling the rim, resulting in poor workability. Since the moose body presses the bead portion of the tire extremely strongly from the inside, the workability of dropping the bead is inferior. On the other hand, when it is larger than 1.00, when the sponge-like mousse body is housed in the tire cavity and the rim is incorporated, the compression of the sponge-like mousse body before being incorporated into the rim becomes large, and the rim assembling workability becomes poor. In addition, the steering stability and the riding comfort when using the actual vehicle are inferior.

Regarding the invention (2), the relationship between the cross-sectional area of the sponge-like mousse body to be compressed and the bore of the tire is such that the Sm / St ratio is in the range of 1.05 to 1.20 at the time of manufacturing the assembly. Preferably, there is. When the ratio is less than 1.05, not only the steering stability and the riding comfort are reduced due to the inability to secure sufficient rigidity, but also the tire bead portion is insufficiently pressed from the inside, and the There is a risk of slipping, rim abrasion, and rim falling. On the other hand, when it is larger than 1.20, not only the steering stability and the riding comfort are impaired due to the increase in rigidity due to the overcompression of the sponge-shaped mousse body, but also the rim assembling / unsealing workability is significantly impaired. .

Regarding the invention of the above (3), the relationship between the diameter of the sponge-like mousse body to be compressed and the inner diameter of the tire at the maximum width is such that the Dm / Dt ratio is in the range of 0.90 to 1.00 when the assembly is manufactured. Is preferred. Similarly to the above relationship of dm / dt, if this ratio is larger than 1.00, the degree of compression of the sponge-shaped mousse increases before the rim is assembled. The mousse body protrudes from the tire, resulting in poor workability.

Regarding the invention (4), the expansion ratio of the sponge-like mousse body is preferably set in the range of 500 to 1500%. This expansion ratio is 500
%, The rigidity of the sponge-like mousse itself increases, so that not only the workability is deteriorated, but also the steering stability and riding comfort during actual vehicle running are significantly impaired with respect to the pneumatic tire. On the other hand, if it is larger than 1500%, the sponge-like mousse body can have flexibility, but cannot have sufficient rigidity when used in an actual vehicle. In addition, there is a problem that as the expansion ratio increases, the dimensional change after production increases, and the use period as a product becomes shorter.

Regarding the invention (5), when air is used, the tire for rough terrain has an internal pressure of 0.6 to 1.
Generally, it is used at 0 kg / m 2 (60 to 100 kPa). However, when a sponge-like mousse is used, the softness under a low load and the tightness under a high load, which are features of the sponge mousse, are determined by the amount of deflection. In other words, at low load, low internal pressure (40k

The present invention will be described below with reference to examples and comparative examples. As a front tire of a motorcycle, a bias tire having a size of 90 / 90-21 and a rim of 1.60 × 21 is used. As a rear tire, a size of 140 / 80-1 is used.
8. A bias tire having a rim of 2.15 × 18 was prototyped (Examples 1, 2, and 3 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2). Similarly, as a front tire, size 80 / 100-2
1. A bias tire having a rim of 1.60 × 21 and a rear tire having a size of 110 / 90-19 and a rim of 2.1
Each of 5 × 19 bias tires was prototyped (Example 4,
5, 6 and Comparative Examples 3 to 5). Each of the test tires was loaded with a sponge-like mousse having the conditions shown in Table 1. The cross-sectional shape of the sponge-shaped mousse body including the tire shaft is circular, and is compressed substantially in contact with the entire inner surface of the tire.
