Abstract
A pneumatic tire having an equatorial plane and a maximum section width is provided. The tire includes a tread portion having outer tread edges that define a tread arc therebetween, a pair of sidewall portions, a pair of bead portions each of which has a bead core, at least one carcass ply extending circumferentially about the tire from one bead portion to the other and wound outwardly about the bead cores to form a pair of turn-up portions that each terminate at a turn-up, and at least one belt provided between the tread portion and the at least one carcass ply. When the tire is inflated to its specified inflated pressure, the tread portion has a profile that includes a central arc, a pair of intermediate arcs each of which intersects opposite edges of the central arc at a first intersection point, and a pair of outer arcs each of which intersects a respective intermediate arc at a second intersection point. The arc length measured from the equatorial plane of the tire to at least one of the first intersection points is between about 20% and about 60% of one half of the tread arc of the tire, while the arc length measured from the equatorial plane of the tire to at least one of the second intersection points is between about 40% and about 80% of one half of the tread arc of the tire.
