Tire

The present disclosure relates to a tire having characters such as a brand name, a model name, etc. engraved on a sidewall thereof. The tire of the present disclosure includes a plurality of knurling units that includes: a first knurling part that is convex; a second knurling part that continues from a side of the first knurling part and is convex; a third knurling part that continues from a side of the second knurling part and is convex; and a fourth knurling part that is convex and is continuously connected from a side of the third knurling part to another side of the first knurling part.

The disclosed technology generally relates to a tire and more particularly to a non-pneumatic tire. The non-pneumatic tire that has maneuverability similar to a pneumatic tire even without using air pressure, and can support the load of a vehicle and can guide performance-oriented tire deformation behavior by using a meta structure. In an aspect, a non-pneumatic tire includes a tread that comes in contact with the ground, a rim that is connected with an axle, and a spoke unit that serves as a structural support between the rim and the tread, in which the spoke unit is formed in a meta structure in which unit structures are repeated.

Non-pneumatic tire

The disclosed technology generally relates to a tire, and more particularly to a non-pneumatic tire that has handling performance similar to a pneumatic tire, supports the load of a vehicle and improves riding comfort by employing a parametric structure. In one aspect, a non-pneumatic tire includes a tread that comes in contact with the ground, a rim that is connected with an axle, and a spoke unit that functions as a structural support between the rim and the tread, in which the spoke unit is formed by circularly arranging spokes. The spokes have a single closed-loop longitudinal cross-section circumscribed to the rim and around the center of the tire.
