The present invention relates to a copolyamide comprising at least two units and corresponding to the following general formula:
A/(diamine).(Cw diacid),
in which: the diamine is a cycloaliphatic diamine, w represents the number of carbon atoms of the diacid, A is chosen from a unit obtained from an amino acid or from a lactam and a unit corresponding to the formula (Cx diamine).(Cy diacid), with x representing the number of carbon atoms of the diamine and y representing the number of carbon atoms of the diacid,
and in which at least one of the monomers chosen from A and the Cw diacid is obtained, in all or part, from renewable starting materials according to Standard ASTM D6866. The invention also relates to a composition comprising this copolyamide and to the use of this copolyamide and of such a composition.

The subject invention relates to a method of preparing a tire inner surface to attain better adhesion of balance pads, puncture sealants, and noise reduction foams. In this method a strip of multi-axially stretchable film is adhered to the inner surface of an uncured tire with a pressure-sensitive adhesive. Then a release agent coating is applied to the film strip on the inner surface of the uncured tire which is subsequently cured in a suitable mold at an elevated temperature. The cured tire is then removed from the mold and after allowing the cured tire to cool the annular circumferential film strip is removed from the inner surface of the tire to provide a circumferential release coating-free tire inner surface onto which balance pads, puncture sealants, and noise reduction foams can be adhered.
