Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed is a pneumatic radial tire for a passenger car having ultra fine steel cords for a carcass ply in which adhesive force between a carcass ply layer and a side wall or a rim flange rubber adjacent to a turn up portion on an outside and a stiffness of the rim flange rubber are larger than a bending stiffness of the carcass ply layer so as to improve durability of a bead part while reducing poor air inletting generated at a carcass turn up portion.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A pneumatic radial tire for a passenger car which uses ultra fine steel cords having a wire diameter of 0.14 mm or less as a reinforcing material of a carcass ply, wherein a bending force of the carcass ply (F P ; kgf) satisfies a relation equation below between a turn up height of the carcass ply (h, mm), a tensile strength of a rim flange rubber (M RF ; kgf/cm 2 ) at the time of 50% elongation and a unit cross sectional area (At; 1×t cm 2 ) depending on a thickness of rim flange rubber (t): 0< F P <(0.025 kgf/mm× h )+( M RF ×At ). 2. The pneumatic radial tire according to claim 1 , wherein the bending force of the carcass ply F P is larger than a bending force of carcass ply F pf made of an organic fiber. 3. The pneumatic radial tire according to claim 1 , wherein the ultra fine steel cord has a wire diameter of 0.04 to 0.14 mm, and a breaking force of 25 to 35 kgf.
