前記ベルト層のタイヤ半径方向外側に、クッションゴム、および、踏面部を形成するトレッドゴムが順次配設されており、少なくとも前記ビード部から該クッションゴムまたは前記ベルト層のタイヤ幅方向外端部に配設されたベルトアンダークッションに接する位置まで、前記カーカスの、タイヤ外側および内側の両表面に露出するように、導電性繊維と非導電性繊維とを含む複合繊維が配設されていることを特徴とするものである。
本発明においては、製造のしやすさの観点から、上記のうちでも、図2(a),(c)、(e)に示す配置形態が好ましい。特に、図2(a)、(e)がより好ましい。
タイヤサイズ195/65R15にて、一対のビード部間に跨ってトロイド状に延在する1枚のカーカスプライからなるカーカスを骨格とし、そのクラウン部タイヤ半径方向外側に配置された2枚のベルト層を備える空気入りタイヤを製造した。このタイヤには、ビード部からトレッド部までにわたって、カーカスの、タイヤ外側および内側の両表面に露出するように、下記の表1~5中に示すブリーダーコード(材質:綿)および繊維材料を配設した。
各供試タイヤの製造し易さを、通常製造時に糸切れがない場合をOK、通常製造時に糸切れがある場合をNGとして評価した。
各供試タイヤのエア入り発生率を、以下に従い評価した。エア入り発生率は、1%未満であれば、良好といえる。
上記方法に従い、タイヤを100本製造し、そのうちエア入りが発生している製品の本数をカウントし、その割合をエア入り発生率として算出した。
タイヤの電気抵抗値は、GERMAN ASSOCIATION OF RUBBER INDUSTRYのWdK 110シート3に準拠して、ヒューレットパッカード(HEWLETT PACKARD)社製のモデルHP4394Aハイレジスタンスメーターを使用し、図5に示すようにして測定した。図中、符号111はタイヤ、112は鋼板、113は絶縁体、114はハイレジスタンスメーターであり、絶縁板113上の鋼板112とタイヤ111のリムとの間に1000Vの電流を流して測定した。
タイヤの電気抵抗値は、低いほど良い。
