In a tire 2, a band 14 has a helically wound structure in which a strip 26 having a cord 28 is wound in a circumferential direction. The band 14 includes a center portion C disposed at a center in an axial direction, and a shoulder portion S disposed outward of the center portion C in the axial direction. A pitch Pc of the strip 26 in the center portion C is not less than 2.0 times a width W of the strip 26 and not greater than 2.5 times the width W. A pitch Ps of the strip 26 in the shoulder portion S is not less than 0.8 times the width W of the strip 26 and not greater than 1.2 times the width W.

A pneumatic tire excellent in high speed stability and turning ability is provided. In a band of a tire, a center portion located in an axial center has a helically wound structure in which a first band body including a first cord is wound. A shoulder portion located on an axial outside of the center portion has a meshed structure formed by a second band body including a second cord. The shoulder portion includes a plurality of first portions, a plurality of second portions and a plurality of third portions. Each first portion is inclined and extends from an axially inner end of the shoulder portion to an axially outer end of the shoulder portion. Each second portion is inclined in an opposite direction from the first portion and extends from the axially inner end of the shoulder portion to the axially outer end of the shoulder portion.

A pneumatic tire and a method for manufacturing the same are provided. In a step of laminating belt reinforcing layers on an outer circumferential side of a belt layer constituting a green tire, wherein the belt reinforcing layers cover each of a tire width direction left edge portion and right edge portion of the belt layer and are separated from each other in the tire width direction, each of the belt reinforcing layers is formed by inclining strip members constituting each of the reinforcing layers in a same direction with respect to a tire circumferential direction, and winding the strip members in a spiral-like manner at least one time around in the tire circumferential direction.

A process for manufacturing tyres for vehicle wheels includes associating at least one reinforcing structure with at least one surface portion of at least one tyre component laid on a forming support, wherein associating the at least one reinforcing structure includes bringing, through a handling and deposition member, at least one reinforcing element to the forming support and depositing, through said handling and deposition member, the reinforcing element on a respective deposition part defined on a surface portion of the component. The depositing includes gradually laying the reinforcing element on the deposition part following the profile of the deposition part in a circumferential direction.

A tire (1) for an agricultural vehicle comprises a working reinforcement (2), radially on the inside of a tread (3) and radially on the outside of a carcass reinforcement (4), the working reinforcement (2) comprising a multilayer component made up of a radial stack of at least two working layers (21, 22), and aims to improve the endurance thereof. The working reinforcement (2) is made up of a circumferential spiral winding of at least one turn of the multilayer component, the first and second circumferential ends (211, 221; 212, 222) of each working layer (21, 22) are circumferentially offset from one another, and the respective first circumferential ends (211, 221) of two consecutive working layers (21, 22) are likewise circumferentially offset from one another.

During building of tyres, at least one first forming drum is employed which has a deposition surface and includes sectors radially movable relative to a geometric rotation axis, and circumferentially distributed one after the other. A plurality of strip-like elements is deposited in circumferential side by side relationship on the deposition surface set in the first deposition configuration, to form at least one component of at least one first crown structure. Setting of the deposition surface includes the actions of radially moving the sectors to give the deposition surface a predetermined diameter and carry out a relative movement between a central portion and axially external end portions of each sector to shape the deposition surface according to a predetermined curvature outline.
