PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pneumatic tire that can achieve weight reduction without degrading durability and productivity.SOLUTION: The pneumatic tire includes: a bead; a sidewall; a tread; a carcass reinforcing them; and a belt having at least two layers of cross belt layers on the outside of a crown part of the carcass in the tire radial direction. At least one layer of reinforcing member of the cross belt layer is steel cords 10 comprised of a core formed by disposing two core filaments 11 in parallel without being twisted and six sheath filaments 12 twisted around the core. If a core filament diameter is dc and sheath filament diameter is ds, an average sheath filament interval D expressed by the following formula is 25 to 80 μm and an interval between adjacent ones of steel cords 10 is 0.50-1.40 mm: D=[L-6 ds{1+(L/p)}]/6, where L=(π+2)dc+πds.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a steel cord for reinforcing a rubber product, used as a reinforcing material of the rubber product such as a tire for a vehicle and an industrial belt, and having an extremely flat shape and fatigue resistance. SOLUTION: The steel cord for reinforcing the rubber product, having a 3+N structure obtained by twisting N (N is 5-13) wires forming sheath side around a core consisting of three wires is regulated so that the core wires 11 may be parallel to each other, and arranged in one nearly linear direction at the cross section of the cord to form the cord cross section into the extremely flat shape, and the core wires 11 may satisfy the requirements in P of from 0.22Pc to 0.43Pc and in d1 of from 1.02d to 1.05d [wherein, P is the pitch (mm) of kink; Pc is a twisting pitch (mm) of the sheath wire; d1 is an apparent outer diameter (mm); and d is a diameter (mm) of the core wire] to facilitate the stretch of the core wire 11 and to enable a tensile load to be dispersed to the core wires 11 and the wires 12 at the sheath side.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing a steel cord by which the swelling of sheath wires can be prevented in a calendering process. SOLUTION: The method for producing the steel cord for producing the steel cord twisted into a state in which a plurality of sheath wires 10 is wound around a core 15 by passing a plurality of core wires 9 to be formed into the core 15 in a parallel state, and the plurality of the sheath wires 10 to be formed into the sheath 16 through a hole 17 having a rectangular cross-section or an ellipse cross-section includes using the hole 17 having a major axis size A of 103.5% or less of the length calculated by the expression: (core wire diameter×number of core wires+sheath wire diameter×2), and a minor axis size B of 104.6% or less of the length calculated by the expression: (core wire diameter+sheath wire diameter×2) as the hole 17 of the twisting device 6.
