A tire is provided with a tire frame member that is made from resin and includes: a bead portion; a side portion that is connected to an outer side of the bead portion in a tire radial direction and that has hole portions formed at intervals in a tire circumferential direction; and a crown portion that is connected to an inner side of the side portion in a tire width direction and that has a tread disposed thereon.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A tire, comprising a tire frame member that is made from a resin and that includes: a bead portion; a side portion that is connected to an outer side of the bead portion in a tire radial direction and that has hole portions formed at intervals in a tire circumferential direction, the hole portions being through holes that penetrate the side portion; and a crown portion that is connected to an inner side of the side portion in a tire width direction and that has a tread disposed thereon, wherein a protection layer configured from a weather resistant material is disposed on an outer face of the tire frame member corresponding to the side portion, such that the hole portions are covered by the protection layer. 2. The tire of claim 1 , wherein the hole portions extend from an inner side toward an outer side in the tire radial direction, and have a length in the tire radial direction that is greater than their width in the tire circumferential direction. 3. The tire of claim 1 , wherein corner portions of the hole portions are rounded. 4. The tire of claim 1 , wherein the hole portions are infilled with a softer material than the resin material forming the tire frame member. 5. The tire of claim 1 , wherein ribs extending from the bead portion to the side portion are formed on an inner face of the tire frame member between adjacent hole portions in the tire circumferential direction. 6. The tire claim 5 , wherein reinforcement cords are embedded inside the ribs. 7. A tire, comprising a tire frame member that is made from a resin and that includes: a bead portion; a side portion that is connected to an outer side of the bead portion in a tire radial direction and that has hole portions formed at intervals in a tire circumferential direction; and a crown portion that is connected to an inner side of the side portion in a tire width direction and that has a tread disposed thereon, wherein ribs extending from the bead portion to the side portion are formed on an inner face of the tire frame member between adjacent hole portions in the tire circumferential direction, and reinforcement cords are embedded inside the ribs.
