| 20090044892 | Tire with Component Having Combination Plasticizer - The present invention is directed to a pneumatic tire comprising at least one component, the at least one component comprising a rubber composition, the rubber composition comprising at least one diene based elastomer and a combination plasticizer comprising a polyester phthalate and dibutoxy ethyl adipate. | 02-19-2009 |
| 20090069474 | TIRE WITH TREAD HAVING ENHANCED WET TRACTION - This invention relates to a tire with a tread of a rubber composition which contains zinc rosinate within and on the surface of said rubber composition. Said zinc rosinate promotes enhanced wet traction for said tire tread by actually replacing a more conventional zinc stearate for a tire tread rubber composition. Said zinc rosinate is a product of a combination of rosin acid and zinc oxide formed in situ within said rubber composition. Said more conventional zinc stearate is a product of a combination of stearic acid and zinc oxide formed in situ within a tread rubber composition. | 03-12-2009 |
| 20090071584 | TIRE HAVING TREAD WITH AN INTERNAL CLOSED CELLULAR RUBBER TRANSITION LAYER - The invention relates to a tire having a rubber tread configuration comprised of a circumferential non-cellular outer rubber cap rubber layer which contains a tread running surface, a circumferential internal, intermediate closed cellular rubber transition rubber layer positioned between said outer tread cap non-cellular rubber layer and a circumferential tread base non-cellular rubber layer. Said internal cellular rubber layer is thereby exclusive of said tread running surface and thereby abridges and joins said outer non-cellular rubber cap layer and said non-cellular base rubber layer of said tread configuration. | 03-19-2009 |
| 20090101267 | MULTIPLE PLY MODULAR CONSTRUCTION - A tire carcass to be used with any type of tire is shown herein. A tire carcass includes a first ply portion, a second ply portion, each ply portion having an inner sidewall ply, an outer sidewall ply, a first end, a second end, and a bead core, a bridge portion, wherein the first ends of the ply portions are separated by the bridge portion, and at least two bridge plies, wherein the bridge plies span the bridge portion, wherein each of the bridge plies have a first end and a second end. | 04-23-2009 |
| 20090255613 | TIRE WITH TREAD HAVING AN INTERMEDIATE RUBBER LAYER CONTAINING A MICROSPHERE DISPERSION - The invention relates to a tire with a tread having an intermediate rubber layer which contains a dispersion of high strength hollow glass and/or ceramic microspheres. In particular, such tire tread is comprised of at least three radially disposed zones of rubber layers composed of a radially outer tread rubber cap layer, a radially inner tread base rubber layer and an intermediate, transition rubber layer positioned between said outer rubber cap layer and said inner rubber base layer. The intermediate tread rubber contains a dispersion of glass and/or ceramic microspheres together with a coupling agent. | 10-15-2009 |
| 20100051162 | MODULAR TWO-PLY TIRE WITH DIRECTIONAL SIDE PLIES - A tire carcass is disclosed herein which includes a first radial ply with shoulder portions and lateral edge portions, each of the lateral edge portions being wrapped around a bead core, a center line perpendicular to the bead core, a carcass crown portion, the carcass crown portion having a first edge and a second edge, and a non-continuous second radial ply, the second radial ply having a right side extending from approximately the first edge of the carcass crown portion, and extending approximately around the first bead core and a left side extending from approximately the second edge of the carcass crown portion, and extending approximately around the second bead core, wherein at least one side of the second radial ply is at an angle of less than approximately 75° with respect to the center line. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100051164 | MODULAR PLY TIRE WITH DISSIMILAR MATERIALS - A tire carcass is disclosed herein which includes a first radial ply, first and second sidewalls, a carcass crown portion, the carcass crown portion having a first edge and a second edge, and a non-continuous second radial ply, the second radial ply having a right side extending from approximately the first edge of the carcass crown portion, and extending approximately to at least the first bead core and a left side extending from approximately the second edge of the carcass crown portion, and extending approximately to at least the second bead core, wherein at least one of the sidewalls and the carcass crown portion are made of dissimilar material. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100065173 | TIRE HAVING TREAD WITH AN INTERNAL CLOSED CELLULAR RUBBER TRANSITION LAYER - The invention relates to a tire having a rubber tread configuration comprised of a circumferential non-cellular outer rubber cap rubber layer which contains a tread running surface, a circumferential internal, intermediate closed cellular rubber transition rubber layer positioned between said outer tread cap non-cellular rubber layer and a circumferential tread base non-cellular rubber layer. Said internal cellular rubber layer is thereby exclusive of said tread running surface and thereby abridges and joins said outer non-cellular rubber cap layer and said non-cellular base rubber layer of said tread configuration. | 03-18-2010 |
| 20100200139 | PNEUMATIC TIRE HAVING AIR RETENTION INNERLINER CONTAINING ANCHORED GLASS MICROSPHERES - A pneumatic rubber tire having an integral rubber innerliner containing anchored hollow glass microspheres. | 08-12-2010 |
| 20130105056 | TIRE HAVING MODULAR PLY CONSTRUCTION AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME | 05-02-2013 |
| 20130112331 | OFF-THE-ROAD TIRE WITH SILICA REINFORCED SIDEWALL - This invention relates to pneumatic rubber tires intended for use on tire sidewall engaging surfaces. In one embodiment, such rubber tire is further intended for use under heavy loaded conditions. Such tires may be referred to as off-the-road tires for use in non-highway service conditions which may include, for example, off-the-road tire, agricultural tire and industrial tire applications. Very large off-the-road tires having rim diameters of at least about 57 inches (144 cm) are a feature of this invention. | 05-09-2013 |
