Description
また、二輪車用タイヤは、特にスポーツ系においては、高度な操安性能も要求されている。
しかしながら、特許文献1の二輪車用タイヤについては、公道を長距離走行する用途に適しているものの、高速旋回時におけるドライグリップ性とウェットグリップ性においてさらなる改善の余地があった。
前記トレッド部が、トレッド部表面において、タイヤ幅方向に、タイヤ赤道面を含むセンター部と、トレッド端を含む一対のエッジ部と、前記センター部と前記エッジ部との間の一対のトラクション部と、によって5分割されてなる二輪車用タイヤであって、
前記センター部を構成するセンターゴム、前記トラクション部を構成するトラクションゴム及び前記エッジ部を構成するエッジゴムの60℃での貯蔵弾性率E’が、下記式(1)及び(2):
センターゴムのE’>エッジゴムのE’>トラクションゴムのE’ ・・・(1)

上記[4]に記載の二輪車用タイヤは、より優れたグリップ性を実現できる。
上記[4]に記載の二輪車用タイヤは、より優れたグリップ性を実現できる。
上記[5]に記載の二輪車用タイヤは、製造時の作業性を悪化させることなく、より優れたグリップ性を実現できる。
上記[6]に記載の二輪車用タイヤは、製造時の作業性を悪化させることなく、より優れたグリップ性を実現できる。
上記[7]に記載の二輪車用タイヤは、優れた耐摩耗性を実現できる。
上記[8]に記載の二輪車用タイヤは、製造時の作業性を悪化させることなく、より優れたグリップ性を実現できる。
本発明に係る二輪車用タイヤは、一対のビード部及び一対のサイドウォール部と、両サイドウォール部に連なるトレッド部と、を備え、
前記トレッド部が、トレッド部表面において、タイヤ幅方向に、タイヤ赤道面を含むセンター部と、トレッド端を含む一対のエッジ部と、前記センター部と前記エッジ部との間の一対のトラクション部と、によって5分割されてなる二輪車用タイヤである。
前記カーカス層のスチールコード全体中、リサイクル鉄由来のスチールフィラメントの割合が20質量%以上であると、カーカス層の耐久性の低下を抑制しつつも、資源を十分に循環利用できる。
前記トレッド部は、上述したように、5分割された分割トレッドであり、前記センター部を構成するセンターゴム、前記トラクション部を構成するトラクションゴム及び前記エッジ部を構成するエッジゴムの60℃での貯蔵弾性率E’が、下記式(1)及び(2):
センターゴムのE’>エッジゴムのE’>トラクションゴムのE’ ・・・(1)
エッジゴムのE’>センターゴムのE’及びトラクションゴムのE’の平均値 ・・・(2)
を満たすことを特徴とする。
エッジゴムのtanδ>トラクションゴムのtanδ>センターゴムのtanδ ・・・(3)
を満たすことが好ましい。
前記センターゴム、前記トラクションゴム及び前記エッジゴムの60℃での損失正接tanδが、上記式(3)を満たすことで、グリップ性、特に直進走行時のグリップ性をより高めることができる。
トラクションゴムのTp>エッジゴムのTp>センターゴムのTp ・・・(4)
を満たすことが好ましい。
前記センターゴム、前記トラクションゴム及び前記エッジゴムの損失正接のピーク温度Tpが、上記式(4)を満たすことで、耐摩耗性を維持しつつ、グリップ性能を高めることができる。前記5分割したトレッドでは、エッジ部とトラクション部には、特に旋回走行時のグリップ性が求められ、センター部には、耐摩耗性が求められる。そして、トレッドゴムのグリップ性を担保するために、トレッドゴムの損失正接tanδのピーク温度を上げることが有効である。しかし、このピーク温度を上げた場合、ゴムの温度が高くならないとグリップ性が発現しにくく作動性が低い。また、上記ピーク温度を上げた場合、トレッドゴムの弾性率が上がり、ゴムが硬くなり路面の形状に追従しにくくなる不具合もある。一方、トレッドゴムの耐摩耗性を高めるために、トレッドゴムの損失正接tanδのピーク温度を低くすることが有効である。そのため、本発明では、前記センターゴム、前記トラクションゴム及び前記エッジゴムの損失正接のピーク温度Tpが、上記式(4)を満たすことで、耐摩耗性を良好にしつつ、グリップ性能を向上させている。
また、耐摩耗性とグリップ性とをより高度にバランスできる観点から、前記トラクションゴム及び前記エッジゴムの損失正接のピーク温度Tpは、いずれも-10~5℃の範囲にあることが好ましい。
なお、最も高いエッジゴムのTpと、その次に高いトラクションゴムのTpとの差は、特に限定されないが、例えば、1~15℃とすることができ、トラクションゴムのTpと、最も低いセンターゴムのTpとの差は、特に限定されないが、例えば、1~15℃とすることができる。
前記トレッド部における、前記センターゴム、前記トラクションゴム及び前記エッジゴムを構成するゴム組成物(以下、センターゴム、トラクションゴム及びエッジゴムの全てに適用できるゴム組成物は、単に「ゴム組成物」と呼ぶことがある。)は、上述した式(1)及び(2)の関係を満たすことができるものであれば特に限定はされない。
前記ゴム組成物として、例えば、ゴム成分と、充填剤と、を含むゴム組成物を用いることができる。
前記ゴム組成物に含まれるゴム成分は、特に限定はされないが、グリップ性能や、製造作業性を高める観点から、スチレン-ブタジエンゴム(SBR)及びブタジエンゴム(BR)から選択される少なくとも1種を含むことが好ましく、スチレン-ブタジエンゴム(SBR)及びブタジエンゴム(BR)の両方を含むことが好ましい。
前記スチレン-ブタジエンゴム(SBR)及びブタジエンゴム(BR)は、未変性のものであっても、変性されたものであってもよく、また、未変性のものと、変性されたものとのブレンドであってもよい。
前記ゴム成分において、前記スチレン-ブタジエンゴム(SBR)の割合は、70質量%以上が好ましく、80質量%以上がより好ましく、また、100質量%以下が好ましく、90質量%以下がより好ましい。

記センターゴム、前記トラクションゴム及び前記エッジゴムを構成するゴム組成物は、いずれも、前記ゴム成分に加えて、充填剤をさらに含むことが好ましい。
前記ゴム組成物が充填剤を含む場合、その含有量は、前記ゴム成分100質量部に対して、90質量部以上であることが好ましく、100質量部以上であることがより好ましく、110質量部以上であることがより好ましい。
グリップ性、旋回安定性能、耐摩耗性等の物性をより高めることができる。
また、前記ゴム組成物を前記トラクションゴムに用いる場合、前記充填剤の総量に対する前記シリカの含有比率は、60~95質量%であり、70~90質量%であることが好ましい。
さらに、前記ゴム組成物を前記エッジゴムに用いる場合、前記充填剤の総量に対する前記シリカの含有比率は、30~60質量%であり、30質量%以上、55質量%未満であることが好ましい。
これにより、二輪車用タイヤの旋回安定性能及びグリップ性を、より高いレベルで両立できる。
前記センターゴム、前記トラクションゴム及び前記エッジゴムを構成するゴム組成物は、いずれも、オイル及び樹脂を含むことが好ましい。
二輪車用タイヤの旋回安定性能及びグリップ性を、より高いレベルで両立できるためである。
なお、本発明において、前記オイルは、前記ゴム成分の伸展油でも、配合剤であってもよく、含有量は伸展油の含有量と配合剤の含有量を併せた量を指す。なお、作業性の観点から、伸展油:配合剤油分の好ましい質量比率は、1:1~10:1である。

C5-C9系樹脂としては、C9以上の成分の少ない樹脂が、ゴム成分との相溶性の観点から好ましい。ここで、「C9以上の成分が少ない」とは、樹脂全量中のC9以上の成分が50質量%未満、好ましくは40質量%以下であることを言うものとする。C5-C9系樹脂は、市販品を利用することができる。
C9系樹脂としては、例えば、インデン、α-メチルスチレン、ビニルトルエン等を主成分とする共重合体等が挙げられる。
ここで、樹脂全量中のジシクロペンタジエン由来成分が50質量%以上の場合、C5-DCPD系樹脂はジシクロペンタジエン系樹脂に含まれるものとする。樹脂全量中のジシクロペンタジエン由来成分が50質量%未満の場合、C5-DCPD系樹脂はC5系樹脂に含まれるものとする。更に第三成分等が少量含まれる場合でも同様である。
なお、前記水素添加樹脂とは、樹脂を還元水素化して得られる樹脂を意味する。
また、前記水素添加樹脂の軟化点は、タイヤのグリップ性能の観点から、160℃以下であることが好ましく、150℃以下であることがより好ましく、145℃以下であることがより好ましく、141℃以下であることが更に好ましい。

なお、水素添加樹脂の軟化点及びポリスチレン換算の重量平均分子量は、後述する実施例に記載の方法で求めることができる。
前記センターゴム、前記トラクションゴム及び前記エッジゴムを構成するゴム組成物は、スチレン系熱可塑性エラストマー(TPS)を含んでもよい。該スチレン系熱可塑性エラストマー(TPS)は、スチレン系重合体ブロック(ハードセグメント)と、共役ジエン系重合体ブロック(ソフトセグメント)とを有し、スチレン系重合体部分が物理架橋を形成して橋かけ点となり、一方、共役ジエン系重合体ブロックがゴム弾性を付与する。共役ジエン系重合体ブロック(ソフトセグメント)の二重結合は、一部又は全部が水素化されていてもよい。
なお、スチレン系熱可塑性エラストマー(TPS)は、熱可塑性である一方、前記ゴム成分(好ましくは、ジエン系ゴム)は、熱可塑性ではない。そのため、本明細書においては、スチレン系熱可塑性エラストマー(TPS)は、前記ゴム成分に含めないものとする。スチレン系熱可塑性エラストマー(TPS)の含有量は、前記ゴム成分100質量部に対して1~30質量部の範囲が好ましい。
