A process is provided for manufacturing a tire assemblage that includes a first woven or knitted fabric including first threadlike elements, a second woven or knitted fabric including second threadlike elements, and a bearing structure including bearing elements connecting the first and second woven or knitted fabric together. The process includes coating each first threadlike element with a layer of a first adhesive composition and coating each second threadlike element with a layer of a second adhesive composition, heat treating each coated first threadlike element and each coated second threadlike element to crosslink the first adhesive composition and the second adhesive composition, and assembling the bearing elements with each heat-treated and coated first and second threadlike element to form part or all of the tire assemblage.

A method for manufacturing a bonded reinforcing textile filamentary element (48) comprising a core and a layer of strands is disclosed. The textile filamentary element in the natural state is assembled. A textile filamentary element in the natural state or pre-bonded textile filamentary element is obtained. The filamentary element in the natural state or pre-bonded filamentary element is coated with an external layer of at least one heat-crosslinkable adhesive composition. The filamentary element in the natural state or pre-bonded filamentary element that is coated with the external layer is thermally treated so as to crosslink the adhesive composition in order to obtain the bonded filamentary element (48). The steps of coating with and of thermally treating the external layer of the filamentary element in the natural state or pre-bonded filamentary element are carried out such that, for an elongation equal to 30% of the elongation at break of the filamentary element in the natural state, the tangent modulus of the bonded reinforcing textile filamentary element (48) is increased compared with the tangent modulus of the filamentary element in the natural state.
