A method in accordance with the present invention manufactures a tire with a biaxial monolayer belt component (MBC). The method comprises the steps of: winding a cord continuously about a first drum according to a pre-defined pattern to create a mesh of cords defining a single belt/overlay structure; adjusting the structure to a predetermined position on the first drum by laser lights; applying a tread component to the structure; transferring the structure and tread component to a second drum; applying the structure and tread component to a carcass component on the second drum; reducing pressure of the carcass component by a predetermined amount; and stitching the structure and tread component to the carcass component.

A hybrid tire cord has more uniform physical properties, and improved strength and fatigue resistance. The hybrid tire cord can easily be manufactured. The hybrid tire cord includes a nylon primarily twisted yarn and an aramid primarily twisted yarn, wherein the nylon primarily twisted yarn and the aramid primarily twisted yarn are secondarily twisted together, and after untwisting of the secondary twisting of the hybrid tire cord having a predetermined length, a length of the aramid primarily twisted yarn is 1.005 to 1.025 times a length of the nylon primarily twisted yarn.

Disclosed are a hybrid tire cord, which can be easily manufactured and has more uniform physical properties, and improved strength and fatigue resistance, and a method for manufacturing the same. The hybrid tire cord includes a nylon primarily twisted yarn and an aramid primarily twisted yarn, wherein the nylon primarily twisted yarn and the aramid primarily twisted yarn are secondarily twisted together, and after untwisting of the secondary twisting of the hybrid tire cord having a predetermined length, a length of the aramid primarily twisted yarn is 1.005 to 1.025 times a length of the nylon primarily twisted yarn.

A pneumatic tire includes a tread portion, sidewall portions, bead portions, and has at least one carcass layer disposed between the pair of bead portions. The ratio SW/OD between the total tire width SW and the tire external diameter OD satisfies the relationship SW/OD0.3. A first region A is defined between a pair of first boundary lines (L1, L1), second regions B are defined between a first boundary line (L1) and a second boundary line (L2), and third regions C are defined on the bead toe side of the second boundary lines (L2). Defining SA, SB, and SC as the cross-sectional area (mm.sup.2) of the first region A to the third region C, and defining the peripheral lengths (mm) of the first region A to third region C along the tire inner surface as a, b, and c, respectively, the relationship 7.5SA/a11.5 is satisfied.

The present invention relates to a tire cord having excellent durability while being thin in thickness, a manufacturing method thereof and a tire comprising the same.

The invention is directed to a non-pneumatic tire comprising a radially outer circumferential band portion comprising a tread, a radially inner hub portion, and a supporting structure comprising a plurality of spokes extending between the hub portion and the circumferential band portion. At least one spoke of the plurality of spokes comprises a radially inner head portion, a radially outer foot portion, and a cord reinforcement wound between the foot portion and the head portion of the spoke. In another aspect, at least two neighboring spokes are reinforced by a common cord reinforcement extending at least from a radially outer foot portion to a radially inner head portion of said spoke, and further through the radially inner ring portion into a radially inner head portion of the neighboring spoke and further to a radially outer foot portion of the neighboring spoke. Another aspect provides a method for manufacturing such tires.
