PNEUMATIC TIRE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240010032 titled 'PNEUMATIC TIRE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a pneumatic tire that has a specified mounting direction on a vehicle. The tire has a tread with a main groove that extends in a circumferential direction and is located on the outer side of the vehicle when the tire is mounted. The tread also includes a shoulder block that is defined by the main groove and is disposed on the outer side of the vehicle. The shoulder block is formed with lateral grooves that connect to the main groove, and each lateral groove has a protrusion, which is a raised groove bottom, in a region adjacent to the main groove. The height of the protrusion corresponds to 40% to 70% of the depth of the main groove.
