A pneumatic tire which is used for a vehicle and obtained after a rubber material is formed by vulcanization. A cap portion (12A), which is an upper layer of a tread and directly contacts the road surface, is a foam rubber which includes innumerable elongated closed cells (24). The outer portion of the elongated closed cell (24) is coated by a resinous protective layer (26). During the vulcanization process of the tire, a resin whose viscosity is lower than that of a rubber matrix and a blowing agent which generates gas are kneaded with a rubber material so as to obtain a rubber composition. The rubber composition is formed in the shape of a band and adhered to a crown portion of a raw tire casing. The resin is melted by the heat of vulcanization and the viscosity of the resin is lower than that of the rubber matrix. The gas generated in the rubber moves toward and concentrates at the inner side of the resin. Accordingly, an elongated closed cell (24) whose outer portion is provided with the resinous protective layer (26) is formed.
一种用于车辆的充气轮胎,由橡胶材料经硫化形成。胎盖部分(12A)是胎面的上层,直接与路面接触,它是一种泡沫橡胶,包括无数的细长闭孔(24)。细长闭孔(24)的外部涂有树脂保护层(26)。在轮胎硫化过程中,粘度低于橡胶基体粘度的树脂和产生气体的发泡剂与橡胶材料混合,以获得橡胶组合物。橡胶组合物形成带状,粘附在生胎胎体的胎冠部分。树脂在硫化热的作用下熔化,树脂的粘度低于橡胶基体的粘度。橡胶中产生的气体向树脂内侧移动并聚集。因此,就形成了一个细长的封闭气室 (24),其外侧设有树脂保护层 (26)。
