International Classification:

B60C 300

US Classification:

15220914, 152454, 152904

Abstract:

A pneumatic radial tire combination for four-wheeled automobile or light truck vehicles. The tire combination has a pair of front steer position tires and a pair of rear position tires. The front steer position tire has a first tread arc when the tire is normally inflated for normal load but unloaded, of decreasing radii extending toward the lateral edges and a straight line drawn between the intersection of the tread arc curvature and the centerplane is inclined at an angle of greater than 5Â relative to a tangent line L, L being tangent to the tread arc at the centerplane and parallel to the axis of rotation R. The rear tire 20 when similarly measured has a tread arc having an angle of less than 5Â.

US Classification:

1522091, 15220926, 152904

Abstract:

A pneumatic radial tire combination for four-wheeled automobile or light truck vehicles. The tire combination has a pair of front steer position tires and a pair of rear position tires. The front steer position tire has a footprint when the tire is normally inflated for normal load that has a footprint shape factor of greater than 1. 00 at a 50% load, and about 1. 00 at both 85% load and 100% load, the footprint shape factor being defined as the maximum circumferential extent of the tires footprint at the centerplane of the tires footprint width divided by the average of the circumferential extent of the tires footprint width as measured at 40% of the footprint from both sides of the central plane of the footprint. The rear position tire footprint, when the tire is normally inflated for normal load, has a footprint shape factor of about 1. 00 at 50% load, and 1.
