An outer surface TS of a tireincludes a tread surface T and a pair of side surfaces S. A plurality of arcs representing a contour of the tread surface T include a pair of crown arcs. A ratio of a radius CRof a first crown arc to a radius CRof a second crown arc is not less than 1.10 and not greater than 1.70. A total groove volume of a first circumferential groovelocated in a zone from an equator to a first tread reference end TEis larger than a total groove volume of a second circumferential groovelocated in a zone from the equator to a second tread reference end TE

Tire and tire-vehicle combination

Disclosed is a testing apparatus comprising a disposal container body comprising: a first opening portion that faces upward to receive a used test piece dropped by a test piece transfer part of the testing apparatus, wherein the test piece transfer part is configured to transfer the used test piece to the first opening portion; and a second opening portion that faces laterally to receive a liquid waste and to which an end of a discharge pipe of the testing apparatus is inserted, wherein the discharge pipe is configured to transfer the liquid waste to the second opening portion.

Disposal container for testing apparatus and testing apparatus

A tireincludes a tread portion, and how the tire is to be oriented when mounted to a vehicle is specified for the tire. The tread portionhas an outer tread edge T, an inner tread edge T, a first crown main groove, a second crown main groove, and three land portions demarcated by the first crown main grooveand the second crown main groove. The land portions include an outer shoulder land portiondemarcated between the outer tread edge Tand the first crown main groove. The outer shoulder land portionhas a largest width in a tire axial direction among the three land portions. The outer shoulder land portionhas an outer shoulder lateral grooveand an outer shoulder sipe

Tire

Tire for automobile

A tire has a tread portion including a first land portion including first and second circumferential edges and and a tread surface. On the first land portion, curved grooves are provided in a tire circumferential direction. Each curved groove extends from a first end on the first circumferential edge side, terminates at a second end within the first land portion, and includes first and second curved portions and on the first end and second end sides, respectively. The first curved portion is an arc curve with a radius of curvature having a center on the first circumferential edge side of the curved groove. The second curved portion is an arc curve with a radius of curvature having a center on the second circumferential edge side of the curved groove.

In accordance with embodiments, a transport mechanism transports a first sample container to a sample aspiration position. A setting part may set a second sample container, that accommodates a sample to be measured, with priority over a measurement of a sample in a first sample container. A nozzle may be capable of moving a sample from a first sample container at a sample aspiration position, and aspirating the sample from the second sample container. A detector may detect components of the sample. A controller may control a transport mechanism such that the first sample container moves to a position distant from the sample aspiration position, when the first sample container has been transported and when sample aspiration of the second sample container is required. A controller may execute control to move the nozzle above the sample aspiration position in state in which the first sample container is distant from the sample aspiration position.
