A pneumatic tire includes an axis of rotation, a carcass having at least one reinforced ply and a reinforcing structure providing a buffer for absorbing shear strain, a tread disposed radially outward of the carcass, and a belt structure disposed radially between the carcass and the tread. The reinforcing structure includes at least one layer of a three dimensional fabric including a frame structure of fabric and open cells defined by the frame structure.

Pneumatic tire with a three dimensional component

A pneumatic tire assembly includes a tire having a pneumatic cavity and a filter disposed between the pneumatic cavity and atmosphere. The filter is constructed of a hydrophobic material for avoiding all liquid adhesion. First and second sidewalls extend respectively from first and second tire bead regions to a tire tread region. The first sidewall has at least one bending region operatively bending when radially within a rolling tire footprint. A sidewall groove is defined by groove walls positioned within the bending region of the first tire sidewall. The sidewall groove deforms segment by segment between a non-deformed state and a deformed, constricted state in response to bending of the bending region of the first sidewall while radially within the rolling tire footprint.

Filter for a pneumatic tire

The invention relates to preparation of rubber reinforced with at least one of graphene and carbon nanotubes with specialized coupling agent and tire with component thereof.

Tire with component containing polyketone short fiber and polyethyleneimine

A pneumatic tire including at least one component having a rubber composition including at least one diene based elastomer and a silica that prior to mixing with said elastomer is prehydrophobated with a fluorinated silane of the following formula:R&#x2014;R&#x2014;SiX&#x2014;R&#x2003;&#x2003;Iwherein Ris a perfluorinated group optionally containing one or more heteroatoms; Ris a divalent alkylene group, arylene group or mixture thereof, substituted with one or more heteroatoms or functional groups, containing about 1 to about 16 carbon atoms; Ris a lower alkyl group; X is a halide, a lower alkoxy group or an acyloxy group; and x is 0 or 1.

Pneumatic tire containing a silica pretreated with a fluorinated silane

The present invention is directed to a pneumatic tire having at least one component, the at least component including a rubber composition, the rubber composition including a diene based elastomer and 10 to 100 parts by weight, per 100 parts by weight of elastomer, of a nanozeolite having a particle size of less than 1000 nm and a negative coefficient of thermal expansion over at least part of the temperature range of 0&#xb0; C. to 200&#xb0; C.

Tire with component having nanozeolite

This invention relates to a tire having a component of a rubber composition which contains a carbonaceous filler as a composite comprised of a disturbed crystalline structure which contains synthetic cubic (diamond) crystalline phase(s) combined with a significant amorphous phase content and which may also contain graphitic (hexagonal) crystalline phases. The crystalline phases are of a disturbed crystalline structure. The carbonaceous filler composite may therefore sometimes be referred to as a 'disturbed crystalline/amorphous carbon material'. Such carbonaceous filler composite may be a product of, for example, an explosive detonation of a carbon-containing, oxygen-deficient explosive. Reinforcement of rubber compositions for components of tires is provided as a combination of such carbonaceous disturbed crystalline/amorphous carbon material together with rubber reinforcing carbon black aggregates and/or synthetic amorphous silica, and optionally with starch/plasticizer composite and/or short fibers. Such tire component may be, for example, a tire tread which contains a running surface for the tire.
