20120267021 | TIRE WITH A LATERAL GROOVE HAVING A CHAMFER FOR IMPROVED SNOW PERFORMANCE - A tire with improved snow performance and dry braking performance is provided that has at least one lateral groove with a chamfer found where the groove intersects the circumference of the tire. In some cases, a second chamfer is found opposite first chamfer on the groove. In most cases, a plurality of similarly configured lateral grooves with chamfers is found along the circumference of the tire. Typically, the width of the lateral groove is approximately 2 to 4 mm, and preferably between 2.6 and 3.6 mm. Also the angle the chamfer forms with the tangent of the circumference of the tire may be approximately 45 degrees. The angle the sweep path of the lateral groove forms with the lateral direction of the tire ranges from approximately 0 to 45 degrees. | 10-25-2012 |
20130098517 | WET AND SNOW TRACTION DESIGN FOR A TIRE TREAD - A novel design for a high-speed tire tread is provided that gives improved performance in both water and snow conditions. The tread region of the tire uses transversely-oriented grooves that each extend in a novel manner across the width of the tread region. There are no grooves or other tread features that provide substantial fluid communication between the transversely-oriented grooves. | 04-25-2013 |
20130213543 | TIRE TREAD WITH SIPES AND A METHOD FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF A TIRE TREAD WITH SIPES - A tire with certain tread features and a method for manufacturing the tread for such a tire are provided. More particularly, a tire and method for manufacturing a tire having a tread portion with sipes that can be of minimal thickness and varying geometries, densities, and profiles may be provided. The sipes can also be hidden until after a period of tread wear has occurred. | 08-22-2013 |
