The reinforcing structure for a tire is in the form of a stratified assembly formed of two layers of reinforcing strips of completely connected cross section, and flattened in shape. According to the method, the strips of each layer are laid side by side in a main direction of laying. The strips of the first layer are spaced apart by a distance that is less than the width of the strips of the second layer and in such a way that the edges of the strips of the first layer overlap the edges of the strips of the second layer. The two layers of strips are separated by a layer of uncoupling rubber.

A tyre (200) includes a tread (210) and multiple studs (100) in the tread (210) such that at least pins (110) of the studs (100) are exposed on the tread (210). The tyre (200) is configured such that a load index (LI) of the tyre (200) as defined in The European Tyre and Rim Technical Organization Standards Manual (2023) table G.7 is from eighty-six to one hundred sixteen (from 86 to 116). The tyre (200) is further configured such that a road wear of the tyre (200) as measured according to the standard SFS7503:2022:en is less than the value calculatable by the polynomial formula 0.000139LI.sup.2+0.0431LI1.90.

On the tire equatorial plane, two of the tape-like members adjacent to each other in the tire circumferential direction are arranged such that the tire circumferential ends thereof are butted against each other, otherwise, at the end portions of the belt layer, two of the tape-like members adjacent to each other in the tire circumferential direction are arranged such that only the rubber portions overlap each other in the tire radial direction. In the attaching process, on the tire equatorial plane, two of the tape-like members adjacent to each other in the tire circumferential direction are attached so that they are butted against each other at tire circumferential ends thereof, otherwise, at the end portions of the belt layer, two of the tape-like members adjacent to each other in the tire circumferential direction are attached so that only the rubber portions overlap each other in the tire radial direction.

In a tire having a belt ply that is formed from ply strips arranged at intervals in the tire circumferential direction, in order to prevent deterioration in durability when high modulus organic fibers are used in a band cord, said tire is provided with a belt layer comprising a belt ply, and a band layer comprising a band ply positioned to the outside of the belt layer in the radial direction. The belt ply is formed by a plurality of ply strips, which are narrow and have a prescribed length, arranged side-by-side with intervals therebetween in the tire circumferential direction. The band ply is formed by a ply tape, which is narrow and long, wound spirally in the tire circumferential direction. The band cord comprises a composite cord in which first strands, which comprise high modulus organic fibers, and second strands, which comprise low modulus organic fibers and are narrower than the first strands, are twisted together.

The present invention relates to a cap ply reinforcement strip in pneumatic tire (1) which is plain woven and comprised of warps (3) and texturized wefts (2). The inventive cap ply reinforcement strip in pneumatic tires (1) eliminates calendaring and strip preparation steps, enables to decrease the rolling resistance of the tire by eliminating the need for rubber coating and reduce the fuel consumption, tread wearing of the tire and braking distance.

A flat or planar reinforcer shaped as a multicomposite strip (R1), which is defined by three main perpendicular directions: an axial direction (X), a transverse direction (Y), and a radial direction (Z), has a width L.sub.R in the Y direction of between 2 and 100 mm, and has a thickness E.sub.R in the Z direction of between 0.1 and 5 mm. A ratio L.sub.R/E.sub.R is greater than 3. The multicomposite strip includes a plurality of monofilaments made of a composite material. The monofilaments are oriented along the X direction and include filaments of a mineral material embedded in a thermoset resin having a glass transition temperature Tg.sub.1 that is greater than 70 C. The monofilaments are coated in a layer of thermoplastic material. The reinforcer may be used to reinforce a tire and a multilayer laminate, which may be used to reinforce a tire.

The reinforcing element (34) has a cross-section with a flattened overall shape having an aspect ratio greater than or equal to 5 and extending in a main direction (Z1). It comprises a lateral edge (46) made of a polymeric composition comprising a thermoplastic polymer, the lateral edge (46) extending in a general direction substantially parallel to the main direction. The reinforcing element (34) is such that R=(UcU1)/Uc>11%, where Uc is the average value of the microhardness of the reinforcing element (34) measured in its central part, and U1 is the average value of the microhardness of the reinforcing element (34) measured at its lateral edge (36). The lateral edge (46) does not have any ridges.

The invention relates to a tire with a radial carcass reinforcement comprising a crown reinforcement, itself radially capped with a tread comprising at least two circumferentially continuous cutouts, the said tread being connected to two beads via two sidewalls. According to the invention, the crown reinforcement comprises at least one axially discontinuous layer consisting of at least two bands each formed of at least one multilayer laminate, the said laminate comprising at least one multiaxially stretched thermoplastic polymer film positioned between and in contact with two layers of rubber composition, and, in a meridian plane, the axial ends of each of the said bands being respectively axially on the outside of each of the axially outermost points of one same circumferentially continuous cutout.

A belt cover layer is disposed in a tire, spanning between shoulder regions, and is formed by winding one belt cover material in a helical shape around a rotation axis on an outer side of the belt layer in a radial direction, the belt cover layer includes a lap winding portion between the shoulder regions, in which parts of circumferential portions, adjacent in a width direction, of the belt cover material wound in a helical shape are lap-wound in the radial direction, a width of the lap winding portion in the width direction is 3-30% of a width of the belt cover layer in the width direction, and in portions of the belt cover layer in the shoulder regions, the circumferential portions, adjacent in the width direction, of the belt cover material are wound with out being lapped in the radial direction.
