An embodiment describes a low noise tire that reduces noise caused by air column resonance occurring in a main groove and has a fluid flow path to prevent a surface layer from being roughened during a mold casting process. A low noise tire according to an embodiment includes a plurality of blocks formed on a tread, a groove formed between the blocks and extending in a circumferential direction of a tire, protrusion portions including a plurality of protrusion bodies protruding from a bottom surface and a wall surface of the groove and extending along the groove, and fluid flow paths formed along the wall surface of the groove and configured to divide the protrusion portions while traversing the protrusion portions so that a fluid positioned between the protrusion portions moves.

In order to reduce noise energy, embodiments relate to a noise-reducing tire including lateral grooves formed in the lateral direction from the longitudinal grooves towards the sidewall, the lateral grooves widening in width towards the sidewall. A noise-reducing tire according to one embodiment comprises: side walls on opposite sides; a tread portion integrally connecting the outer circumferences of the side walls; a longitudinal groove concavely formed in the tread portion along the driving direction; and a lateral groove concavely formed from the longitudinal groove towards the side walls in the lateral direction, wherein the lateral groove expands in width towards the side walls, and the lateral groove comprises a tie bar connecting the inner walls of the lateral groove without being spaced apart from the longitudinal groove.

An embodiment relates to a tire in which kerf space can be secured after tread wear without a decrease in block rigidity. The tire provided with 3D kerfs combining interlocking bands and hidden groove-type kerfs according to an embodiment comprises: kerfs that are provided with road surface portions and bottom portions; and protrusion parts that protrude from one of the two side wall surfaces of the road surface portions, wherein the road surface portions are spaces extending, in the thickness direction of the blocks, from the outer surface of the blocks in contact with the road surface, and the bottom portions are spaces extending from the road surface in the thickness direction of the block.

In order to reduce noise energy, an embodiment provides a noise-reducing tire including lateral grooves 30 formed in the lateral direction from the longitudinal grooves 20 towards the sidewall 5 , the lateral grooves 30 widening in width towards the sidewall 5.

The tire provided with 3D kerfs combining interlocking bands and hidden groove-type kerfs according to an embodiment comprises: kerfs that are provided with road surface portions and bottom portions; and protrusion parts that protrude from one of the two side wall surfaces of the road surface portions, wherein the road surface portions are spaces extending, in the thickness direction of the blocks, from the outer surface of the blocks in contact with the road surface, and the bottom portions are spaces extending from the road surface in the thickness direction of the block.

Proposed is a tire including a pattern forming area provided on a sidewall to display a pattern of predetermined shape, wherein the pattern forming area is formed by continuously arranging a plurality of hexagon-shaped unit patterns, and the unit patterns existing on the edges of the pattern forming area are cut off in shapes to correspond to the shape of the pattern forming area.

One embodiment relates to a tyre with a bead profile structure, comprising a tread, sidewalls, and beads 10 for improving lateral stiffness, wherein the bead ( 10 ) has a range in which the X-coordinate is 8.8-9.7 mm and the Y-coordinate is 19.2-21.7 mm from origin (O), which is a common European Tyre and Rim Technical Organization (ETRTO) rim standard reference point of a bead outermost point (P) that is in contact with a wheel rim.
