A bias tire carcass reinforced with hybrid cords consisting one ply aramide yarns (1) and one ply nylon yarns (2), and nylon content within cord is between 45 to 65%; the nylon yarn content within those range improves fatigue resistance and reduces sidewall gauge with respect to reference bias tire having nylon carcass; in one embodiment of the present invention, a bias tire carcass for pneumatic tires which have reinforcing layers comprising hybrid cords consist of one ply is made of aramide yarns and one ply is made of nylon yarns with 45-65% nylon content by weight, are balanced twisted cords.

A tyre for bicycle wheels, having a carcass structure, a belt layer arranged in a radially outer position with respect to the carcass structure and a tread band arranged in a radially outer position with respect to the belt layer. The carcass structure has a carcass ply engaged with a pair of annular anchoring structures and including a plurality of reinforcing cords. The cords are inclined, with respect to an equatorial plane of the tyre, at a first angle between about 65? and about 90?. The belt layer has a reinforcing cord wound onto the carcass structure according to a winding direction oriented, with respect to the equatorial plane, at a second angle between about 0? and about 30?.
