Abstract:
A motorcycle tire for uneven terrain travel including two carcass plies, at least one of which is aramid ply 16 using aramid fiber cord 17 obtained by subjecting N (2 to 4) bundles 18 of aramid fiber “f” to final twist, the aramid fiber cord 17 having a total fineness D of 2,200 to 5,010 dtex and a twist factor T represented by the equation (1): T=n×(√{square root over (D)})×10−3 (1) in which n is the number of final twists per 10 cm of the cord (unit: time), and D is a total fineness of the cord (unit: dtex), the twist factor falling within the range of: in the case where the aramid ply 16 is inner carcass ply 6A, from 2.8 to 3.2 when the number of filament bundles 18 is 2, and from 2.4 to 3.2 when the number of filament bundles 18 is 3 or 4, and in the case where the aramid ply 16 is outer carcass ply 6B, from 2.4 to 3.2 when the number of filament bundles 18 is 2, and from 2.2 to 3.2 when the number of filament bundles 18 is 3 or 4.
