Pneumatic tire
Abstract:
A pneumatic tire is provided which has sufficient total properties and mass productivity of a tire without reducing drainage capability due to narrowed circumferential grooves, achieves high design flexibility of tread patterns and stiffness of land portion as intended, and also effectively reduces undesired air column resonance noise produced by the circumferential grooves. The pneumatic tire includes a circumferential groove 3 which continuously and circumferentially extends in a straight line and arranged on a tread 1, and resonators 5 which are open to the circumferential groove 3 and terminate in a land portion 4, each of the resonators 5 being configured with an air chamber 6 open toward a land portion surface, and a narrowed neck 7 for communication between the air chamber 6 and the circumferential groove 3, and the narrowed neck 7 has the plane maximum width w0 which is within a range of from 3 to 50% of the plane maximum width w1 of the air chamber 6.
