Provided is an interior side wall structure for a vehicle in which a cylindrical shape of a shock-absorbing member can be crushed and deformed in an axial direction in an orderly manner upon vehicle side collision. When a collision load (F) is input to a shock-absorbing member () in the axial direction, a flange portion () at a peripheral edge of an open part is uniformly pressed against a door trim (). At a connecting portion () of a peripheral wall (), stress is distributed by an arc shaped face, whereby the development of crack is avoided, thus enabling even distribution of the load. At the connecting portion (), buckling rigidity is adjusted by a slit for compression buckling adjustment () so as to substantially equalize the buckling rigidity at each portion of the peripheral wall (), whereby the cylindrical shape of the shock-absorbing member () is crushed and deformed in the axial direction in an orderly manner.

Pneumatic tire

A pneumatic tire includes a plurality of circumferential grooves and a first land portion. The circumferential grooves extend continuously in a tire circumferential direction. The first land portion extends in the tire circumferential direction between a pattern end and one of the circumferential grooves in a shoulder region located outside the circumferential grooves in a tire width direction. The first land portion has first lug grooves extending from the pattern end in the tire width direction and closed without communicating with the circumferential grooves are arranged in the tire circumferential direction. At least one circumferential groove is wave-shaped with a constant groove width in the tire width direction at a tread surface and formed in a wave shape in the circumferential direction at the tread surface and groove bottom. The wave-shaped circumferential groove has a shorter cycle length of waves at the groove bottom than at the tread surface.

Coryneform bacteria are described that have an ability to produce L-amino acids and are modified so that acetyl-CoA hydrolase activity is decreased. The bacteria are used to produce L-amino acids generated by a biosynthetic pathway in which pyruvic acid is an intermediate, such as L-glutamic acid, L-arginine, L-glutamine, L-proline, L-alanine, L-valine, and L-lysine.

Lateral groovesare disposed in a land portionbetween main groovesat prescribed intervals in a circumferential direction TC of the tire, the lateral groovesextending from the main groovesto a circumferential groove. Blocksare defined by the main grooves, circumferential grooveand lateral grooves. At least two sub-groovesare disposed in each blockat a prescribed interval in the tire circumferential direction TC, the sub-groovesextending from a main grooveadjacent thereto in a width direction of the tire. At least three block portionsA,B andC are formed. The width of the main grooveadjacent to the blockis varied by making the block widths Wa, Wb and Wc of the block portionsA,B andC different from each other. A groove wall surface, facing the main groove, of a block portion less in width has a greater inclination angle with respect to a tread normal direction. This allows for provision of a pneumatic tire capable of improving steering stability on a dry road surface and on a snow road surface.

The pneumatic tire according to the present invention has a nominal width of not less than 255, an outside diameter of not less than 720 mm, and an aspect ratio of not more than 55%. The pneumatic tire has a designated direction of sides thereof for mounting the tire on a vehicle. In its tread portion, the pneumatic tire includes five main grooves extending in the tire's circumferential direction, and six land portions defined by the five main grooves. Each of the shoulder land portions located outermost in the tire's width direction is divided into a narrow rib portion with a width of not less than 10 mm but not more than 15 mm on a side closer to its neighboring main groove and a block portion on a side closer to a corresponding one of the shoulders by a narrow groove which extends in the tire's circumferential direction, and which has a depth less than 50% of that of its neighboring main grooves. The remaining four land portions interposed between the shoulder land portions each have a depth of not less than 20 mm but not more than 26 mm.

Provided is a pneumatic tire having a tread surface () with a tread pattern having: at least two circumferential grooves () extending in the tire circumferential direction to define land sections () on the outer sides in the tire width direction; and lateral grooves () extending in the tire width direction to partition the land sections () into a large number of blocks (). In addition, in each of the blocks (), a cutout () is formed in the center region of an edge portion of the block (), the edge facing the corresponding circumferential groove (). The cutout () has plural steps in the tire width direction. This structure improves the performance of running on a muddy ground with the resistance to uneven wear and the driving stability on general road surfaces maintained respectively at sufficient levels.
