Tire for use in two-wheeled automotive vehicle
DRIVE
August 6, 2014
A tire (2), for use in two-wheeled automotive vehicles, which is excellent in grip performance, steering stability, and transient characteristic, is provided. In the tire (2), a tread (4) includes a center region (20), and a pair of shoulder regions (22) disposed outward of the center region (20) in an axial direction. The center region (20) and the shoulder regions (22) are each formed by a crosslinked rubber composition. A modulus Ms of the rubber composition of each shoulder region (22) is lower than a modulus Mc of the rubber composition of the center region (20). A belt (12) extends inward of the sidewalls (6) in the axial direction. A ratio Hb/H of a height Hb from a bead base line (BL) to an end (Pb) of the belt (12) relative to a height H from the bead base line (BL) to each end (Pe) of the tread (4) is greater than or equal to 0.1, and not greater than 0.5.
