The present invention discloses a preparation method of polyester cord fabric with low denier and high modulus, including steps of: spinning, reducing melt discharge volume for extruding yarn with denier of 500-1000 D; using high-speed motor and heat roller, spinning speed of 6000-6500 m/min to produce raw yarn; performing initial and repeat twisting of raw yarn by straight twisting machine; performing weaving of twisted yarn using Dornier air-jet loom to produce cord fabric, when weaving and reeding-in, using two into a reed way, adding creel roller bearing and creel single spindle tension control belt to improve uniformity; performing dipping of cord fabric using two-bath dipping, adjusting temperature to 250-260 degrees Celsius, tension to 0.3-2.9 daN/each yarn of key area, running speed of yarn to 55-70 m/min. The polyester cord fabric with low denier and high modulus can reduce rolling resistance and fuel consumption, and improve performance.

A high modulus textile cord (50) with at least triple twist (T1, T2, T3) comprises at least N strands (20a, 20b, 20c, 20d), N being greater than 1, twisted together with a final twist T3 and a final direction D2, each strand being made up of M pre-strands (10a, 10b, 10c), M being greater than 1, themselves twisted together with an intermediate twist T2 (T2a, T2b, T2c, T2d) and an intermediate direction D1 opposite to D2, each pre-strand itself consisting of a yarn (5) which has been twisted on itself beforehand with an initial twist T1 (T1a, T1b, T1c) and the direction D1, in which at least half of the N times M yarns have an initial elastic modulus denoted Mi which is greater than 2000 cN/tex. This textile cord can advantageously be used as a reinforcer in tires for vehicles, particularly in the belt or carcass reinforcement of these tires.

A tire includes a tread rubber which is formed by a plurality kinds of rubber having different elastic modulus, the tread rubber is provided with peripheral joint portions where the plurality kinds of rubber having the different elastic modulus is joined in a tire peripheral direction, and a ground end portion of an outside surface of the tread rubber in a tire width direction is formed by the rubber having the greatest elastic modulus among the plurality kinds of rubber constructing the peripheral joint portions.

Provided is a tire reinforcing member that can further improve various tire performances, such as steering stability and ride comfort. Also provided is a tire in which various tire performances, such as steering stability and ride comfort, are further improved by the use of the tire reinforcing member. A tire reinforcing member (10) is formed by laminating two or more layer members (3) each obtained by covering elongated fiber materials (1) with a polymer material (2). The layer members each have a thickness of 0.01 mm to 0.5 mm, and the whole reinforcing member has a thickness of 0.5 mm to 2.0 mm.
