A mold for molding a tire tread comprises a plurality of mold segments. Each of the plurality of mold segments includes an integer number of tread pitch repetitions. The plurality of mold segments are structured to be coupled to each other end-to-end so as to form the mold such that the mold…
The invention provides a base tire manufacturing method and a base tire having a proper thickness for the rubber layer by setting the thickness of the rubber layer in such a manner as to optimize the buffing allowance for the cure-molded base tire without placing limits on the shape of the…
A method and a system (10) of producing a tyre tread (4) with lugs (6); the tread having a tread base (5), and a number of lugs (6) projecting upwards from the tread base (5); and the method including the steps of: preparing a green-rubber blank tread (13); applying green-rubber blocks (15) to the…
A pneumatic tire has a tread rubber made of a nonconductive rubber. The tread rubber (10) is provided with a first and second conductive portions (13, 14) made of a conductive rubber. The first conductive portion (13) extends radially inwardly from a ground-contacting surface, extends to one side…
This invention relates to a retreadable tire (1) which contains a non-black colored rubber carcass cushion layer (4A) sandwiched between its tire tread (2A) and tire casing (3). The non-black colored rubber carcass cushion layer acts both as an adhesive and transition layer for adhering a cured or…
Methods for manufacturing a composite rubber tire with a polyurethane tread comprise: treating an outer surface of an internal rubber body; preparing a polyurethane pre-polymer; improving the polyurethane pre-polymer; and applying the polyurethane pre-polymer to the treated outer surface of the…
It is to provide a rubber composition providing a large friction force even on a body having, for example, an ice face of a low friction coefficient by constituting with a foamed rubber having a rationalized foaming state, and a pneumatic tire, particularly a winter-seasoned tire such as a studless…
