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(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、
前記タイヤをリムに装着し、規定内圧を充填し、無負荷とした、基準状態におけるタイヤ幅方向断面視において、接地端を通りタイヤ径方向に延びる仮想線と、タイヤ最大幅位置を通りタイヤ幅方向に延びる仮想線と、で挟まれるタイヤ部分に、前記通信装置を設け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。
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4a、4b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、環境及びコストの観点からケブラー(登録商標)とすることができる)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4a、4b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4a、4b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4a、4b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、好ましくは35°以上、特にタイヤ周方向に対して55°~85°の範囲とすることが好ましい。傾斜角度を20°以上(好ましくは35°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。
