Each of said at least two strands (20a, 20b) comprises at least one monofilament textile wire made of polyester fibres and at least one multifilament textile yarn (22a, 22b) comprising a plurality of textile filaments (23a, 23b) made of aramid and/or polyester and/or rayon fibres. In any cross section of the hybrid reinforcing cord (10), said at least one monofilament textile wire is at least partially embedded in the filaments (23a, 23b) of said at least one multifilament textile yarn (22a, 22b).

A tyre for vehicle wheels comprises a support structure and a tread band arranged in a radially outer position with respect to the support structure. The support structure comprises a plurality of hybrid reinforcing cords (10). Each of the hybrid reinforcing cords (10) has at least two strands (20) twisted together with a predetermined twisting pitch. Each of said at least two strands (20) comprises at least one monofilament textile wire (21) and at least one multifilament textile yarn (22) comprising a plurality of textile filaments (22a). In any cross section of the hybrid reinforcing cord (10), said at least one monofilament textile wire (21) is at least partially embedded in the filaments (22a) of said at least one multifilament textile yarn (22).

In accordance with the invention, a textile cord coat composition for a tire comprises from 70 to 90 phr cis 1,4-polyisoprene rubber, from 10 to 30 phr styrene butadiene rubber, from 25 to 45 phr carbon black, the latter comprising between 1 and 6 phr high surface area carbon black having a BET surface area of more than 700 m.sup.2/g. Moreover, the invention is directed to a textile reinforced ply and a tire comprising such a textile cord coat composition.

A pneumatic tire includes: a belt layer in which a belt cord is arranged; and a belt reinforcing layer in which an organic fiber cord is arranged, the belt reinforcing layer is formed by coating the organic fiber cord with rubber, and a ratio (Sr/Sc) of a rubber cross-sectional area (Sr) to a cord cross-sectional area (Sc) is 1.0 to 1.5, and a value obtained by dividing, by 1000, a sum of a product (A) of a load LASE5% (N) at 5% elongation of the organic fiber cord, a cord count (per 25 mm), and the number of belt reinforcing layers, and a product (B) of a load (N) at 0.5% elongation of the belt cord, cos θ in which a belt angle is defined as θ, a cord count (per inch), and the number of belt layers is 8.7 or more.
