A pneumatic tire 1 has a carcass 6 extending between a first bead portion 4A and a second bead portion 4B through a tread portion 2 and a pair of sidewall portions 3. The carcass 6 is composed of at least two carcass plies 7 including a first carcass ply 7A and a second carcass ply 7B which have the same ply length. Each of the first carcass ply 7A and the second carcass ply 7B is arranged asymmetrically with respect to the tire equator C.

The invention is a tyre comprising, in the central part of its crown, at least one undulation (51) of the radially outermost crown layer, having a radial amplitude A at least equal to 1 mm. At least one bead comprises, aside from the radial carcass layer and the bead wire, a radial reinforcing element that is such that the axial distance between the radial reinforcing element and the axially innermost carcass layer is at least equal to 1 mm and at most equal to 12 mm at the point of the radial reinforcing element that is situated 30 mm from the radially innermost point of the bead wire, for a better trade-off between the stiffness of the undulating crown and of the bead.

A pneumatic tire has a turned-up carcass ply and a non-turnup carcass ply. The turned-up carcass ply is turned up around bead cores in respective bead portions from the inside to outside of the tire so as to form a pair of turned up portions extending radially outwardly on the axially outsides of the respective bead cores, and a main portion extending between the turned up portions. The non-turnup carcass ply extends between the bead portions and terminates to have edges positioned on the axially outsides of the respective turned up portions. The bead portions are each provided on its outer surface with vent lines protruding therefrom and extending continuously in the tire circumferential direction. The vent lines include a radially outer vent line formed radially outside the edges of the non-turnup carcass ply, and a radially inner vent line formed radially inside the edges of the non-turnup carcass ply.

A ply of a carcass of a pneumatic radial tire includes a turn-up ply and a down ply. The turn-up ply includes: a main body portion disposed between a pair of bead cores; turn-up portions around the bead cores from an inside toward an outside in a tire width direction. The down ply extends up to an inside in a radial direction of the bead cores so as to cover the turn-up ply including the turn-up portions from an outside. A curvature is formed at either one of a down ply predetermined portion of the down ply, which covers a turn-up end portion of the turn-up portion of the down ply from an outside in the tire width direction, and a turn-up ply portion that covers the turn-up end portion of the turn-up portion in the main body portion of the turn-up ply from inside in the tire width direction.

Provided is an aircraft tire which has both satisfactory light weight and satisfactory separation durability of carcass ply ends. An aircraft tire (10) includes a pair of bead cores (1), and a carcass (2) extending between the pair of the bead cores (1). In this aircraft tire (10), the carcass (2) includes at least one layer of a turn-up ply (2a) which is composed of a main body (2aa) and folded portions (2ab), and at least one layer of a down ply (2b) which covers a tire width-direction outer side of the respective folded portions (2ab) of the turn-up ply (2a) and extends to at least a tire radial-direction inner side of the respective bead cores (1); rubber-cord reinforcing members (6) are each arranged between the main body (2aa) of an outermost turn-up ply (2a) and the folded portion (2ab) of the turn-up ply (2a) extending to a tire radial-direction outermost side, and between the folded portion (2ab) of the turn-up ply (2a) extending to the tire radial-direction outermost side and an innermost down ply (2b); and cords of the rubber-cord reinforcing members (6) have an elongation at break of not less than 30%.

A pneumatic tire according to an embodiment includes: a carcass ply including organic fiber cords; and a side reinforcement layer including metal cords. The side reinforcement layer extends along a lateral surface of a bead filler, and extends beyond an outer end of the bead filler to an outer side in a tire radial direction. The carcass ply includes: a first ply stretched between bead cores; and a second ply arranged on a tire outer surface side of the first ply. An inner end portion in the tire radial direction of the second ply is superimposed on an outer end portion in the tire radial direction of the side reinforcement layer, and the second ply extends to the outer side in the tire radial direction from the inner end portion and is terminated at a position at which the second ply is superimposed on an end portion of a belt.

The bead portion of the tire has an inner bead provided inside the tire width direction of a carcass ply and an outer bead provided outside the tire width direction of the carcass ply. The inner bead and the outer bead have a bead core portion including a bead cord formed of a metal material, and a filler portion provided outside the tire radial direction of the bead core portion and formed of a resin material. The inner bead and the outer bead sandwich a carcass ply.

Bicycle tyre (100) which comprises a pair of bead cores (8), a carcass structure (2) turned around the pair of bead cores (8) and a tread band (4) radially outer to the carcass structure (2); at each bead core (8) being provided: an elastomeric material filler (12) which extends in a radial direction for a first length (HI) starting from the bead core (8), a loop (15) interposed between the carcass structure (2) and the elastomeric material filler (12), turned around the bead core (8) so as to define a first flap (15a) axially outer to the elastomeric material filler (12) and a second flap (15b) axially inner to the elastomeric material filler (12), wherein the first flap (15a) extends in a radial direction for a second length (H2) and the second flap (15b) extends in a radial direction for a third length (H3); preferably, the second (H2) and third (H3) lengths are less than or equal to the first length (H1).

Bicycle tyre (100) comprises a pair of bead cores (8), a carcass structure (2) turned around the pair of bead cores (8) and a tread band (4) radially outer to the carcass structure (2); at each bead core (8) being provided: an elastomeric material filler (12) which extends in a radial direction for a first length (H1) starting from the bead core (8), wherein the first length (H1) is at least 20% of the distance (H4) measured in the radial direction between the bead core (8) and the radially outermost portion of the carcass structure (2).

A pneumatic tire of the present disclosure includes: a pair of bead cores embedded in a pair of bead portions, the pair of bead cores each including a pair of small bead cores divided in a tire width direction; and a carcass including one or more carcass plies, the carcass toroidally straddling between the pair of bead cores with end portions of the carcass each sandwiched between the pair of small bead cores and engaged with the small bead cores, in which a sound control body is disposed on an inner surface of the tire in the pair of bead portions.
