Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 167 words
In a pneumatic tire for high speed driving having left and right bead portions, left and right side wall portions and a tread portion and having an aspect ratio of from 0.25 to 0.75, the improvement wherein two carcass layers comprising carcass cords embedded in a coating rubber having a 100% modulus of from 30 to 70 kg/cm 2 are disposed between said bead portions, said carbass cords being at an angle to the equatorial plane of the tire so that the cords of one carcass layer cross the cords of the other carcass layer, and wherein the thickness of the rubber between the cords of the carcass layers is from 120 to 300% of the diameter of the cords of one of said carcass layers in the region extending from at least 50 mm from the shoulder point in the direction toward the equatorial plane of the tire to between 20 and 50 mm from the shoulder point in the direction toward the respective bead portion.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 167 words
In a pneumatic tire for high speed driving having left and right bead portions, left and right side wall portions and a tread portion and having an aspect ratio of from 0.25 to 0.75, the improvement wherein two carcass layers comprising carcass cords embedded in a coating rubber having a 100% modulus of from 30 to 70 kg/cm 2 are disposed between said bead portions, said carbass cords being at an angle to the equatorial plane of the tire so that the cords of one carcass layer cross the cords of the other carcass layer, and wherein the thickness of the rubber between the cords of the carcass layers is from 120 to 300% of the diameter of the cords of one of said carcass layers in the region extending from at least 50 mm from the shoulder point in the direction toward the equatorial plane of the tire to between 20 and 50 mm from the shoulder point in the direction toward the respective bead portion.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 50 words
A pneumatic radial tire according to claim 1, wherein said carcass layers are each formed by embedding carcass cords in a parallel arrangement in said coating rubber at a density of 20 to 65 cords per 50 mm measured at a right angle to the lengthwise direction of said cords.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 23 words
A pneumatic radial tire according to claim 1, wherein said carcass cords are chemical fibers selected from nylon, polyester and aromatic polyamide fibers.
