Abstract:
Tire comprising at least one carcass-type reinforcing structure (6) anchored on each side of the tire. The anchoring includes a turning up of the carcass-type reinforcing structure around a bead core (15) in such a way as to form a turned-up section (8). The tire also includes at least one circumferential bielastic reinforcing element (10) made of a bielastic fabric, in which the fabric employed is a bielastic knitted fabric, that is a stitched fabric in which the loops forming the stitches are capable of moving relative to each other. The at least one bielastic reinforcing element (10) being arranged so as to extend substantially parallel along a portion of the reinforcing structure (6) which is situated in that region of the bead (4) of the tire that is axially outward relative to the reinforcing structure, in the immediate vicinity of the latter.
Abstract:

Outer side reinforcing layers 4 are disposed on the body portion 2A of the carcass on the outsides of the tire in the axial direction from positions of 42 to 48% of the tire cross-section height SH to positions of 10 to 16% of the tire cross-section height SH along the body portion, and inner side reinforcing layers 5 are disposed on the body portion 2A of the carcass on the insides of the tire in the axial direction from positions of 42 to 48% of the tire cross-section height SH to positions not higher than bottom surfaces of the bead cores along the body portion.
Abstract:
A pneumatic tire is provided having a carcass with at least one carcass ply, an innerliner, a sidewall, a bead comprising a bead core and a bead apex, and a tread disposed radially outward of the carcass, The sidewall has only a single crescent-shaped rubber insert located between the innerliner and the at least one carcass ply. The rubber of the at least one crescent-shaped rubber insert has a hardness (Shore A, 100° C.) in a range of about 68 to about 90, and the maximum thickness of the at least one crescent-shaped rubber insert, as measured parallel to the axis of rotation of the tire, is less than 30% of the thickness of the tire sidewall as measured parallel to the axis of rotation of the tire from the axially inner surface of the innerliner to the axially outer surface of the sidewall at the location of the maximum thickness of the rubber insert.
Abstract:
A vehicle tire contains a tread part, a bead region which is radially formed inside the tread part and having a bead core, a bead filler formed radially outside the bead core, and a bead reinforcing layer extending over a periphery of the vehicle tire and containing at least one resistance carrier spirally wound radially outwardly from the inside towards the periphery. A further bead reinforcing strip is formed radially inside the bead core, the further bead reinforcing strip extending axially over the entire axial length of the bead core and being radially outwardly folded back towards the two axial outer sides of the bead core. The further bead reinforcing strip having a first folded-back section extending up to a radial extension height from a vertex of the wheel rim and a second folded-back section up to a radial extension height from the vertex X of the wheel rim.
Abstract:
Tire including at least one carcass reinforcement of at least one ply anchored in each bead B to at least one bead wire, each bead being reinforced by at least two reinforcement plies formed of reinforcing elements inclined relative to the circumferential direction at an angle between 10° and 30°, said reinforcement plies being axially adjacent to the carcass ply wherein the reinforcing elements of at least one ply of the carcass reinforcement, in each part adjacent to the two bead reinforcement plies, are inclined relative to the circumferential direction at an angle between 50° and 80° and are radial in the part located between the radially upper ends of said two reinforcement plies, said ends being located radially outside the sidewall points that define the maximum axial width of the tire when mounted on its intended wheel rim and inflated.

Abstract:
In an apex 34 of a tire 2, a reinforcing portion 48 is located inward of a main body 46 in an axial direction. When a position on an outer surface of the tire 2 at which position a height from a BBL is 14 mm is defined as a first point P1 and a position on the outer surface of the tire 2 at which position a height from the BBL is 20 mm is defined as a second point P2, the reinforcing portion 48 overlaps the first point P1 and the second point P2 in a radial direction. A loss tangent of the reinforcing portion 48 is equal to a loss tangent of the main body 46 or less than the loss tangent. A hardness of the reinforcing portion 48 is equal to a hardness of the main body 46 or greater than the hardness.
