[Object] A tire 2 that has quietness and durability improved without reducing steering stability, is provided.

[Solution] The tire 2 includes: a pair of beads 12; a carcass 14 that is extended on and between the beads 12 on both sides; and a pair of strips 24 that extend almost outward from the beads 12 along the carcass 14 in the radial direction. The beads 12 include cores 34, first apexes 36, and second apexes 38. The carcass 14 includes a carcass ply 44, and the carcass ply 44 includes a main portion 46 and turned-up portions 48. The turned-up portions 48 are disposed between the first apexes 36 and the second apexes 38. The turned-up portions 48 contact with the main portion 46 in portions radially outward of outer ends 42 of the first apexes 36. A position of an outer end 64 of each strip 24 is equal, in the radial direction, to a position Pb at which the maximum width is obtained, or the outer end 64 of each strip 24 is disposed radially inward of the position Pb at which the maximum width is obtained.

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.

This invention relates to rubber reinforcing material with reduced weight, a method for preparing the same, and a tire including the same. According to this invention, there is provided a rubber reinforcing material that has a thin thickness and light weight, and yet has excellent durability. The reinforcing material not only reduces the weight of a tire, but also enables realization of improved rolling resistance.

A tire (10) not suitable for running flat comprises a crown block (12), two beads (32), and two sidewalls (30) connecting each bead (32) to the crown block (12). The crown block (12) comprises a crown reinforcement (16) comprising a corrugated crown layer (24, 26, 28) comprising corrugations. The sidewall (30) comprises a sidewall insert (90) comprising an elastomeric composition (92) referred to as a rigid elastomeric composition having a modulus at 10% extension greater than or equal to 6 MPa and a maximum thickness (Emax) less than or equal to 5.0 mm.
