RUN-FLAT TIRE
The run flat tire includes a tread portion in contact with a road surface, a tire side portion continuous to the tread portion and positioned inside in the radial direction of the tread portion, and a carcass forming a tire skeleton. The run flat tire is provided with a side reinforcing rubber in tire side portion. A carcass reinforcing belt formed by covering a circumferential direction cord extending along tire circumferential direction with a rubber material and a sheet-like reinforcing layer formed of a resin material are provided in layers on an inner side of the tire radial direction of the tread portion.
Run-Flat Tire
A run-flat tire includes a belt reinforcing layer outward of a belt layer in a tire radial direction and reinforcing rubber in sidewall portions. Where a center region is a region of a tread portion in which a center land portion corresponding to a land portion included in land portions in a tread portion and located closest to a tire equatorial plane is positioned, the belt reinforcing layer includes a center reinforcing portion in which more pieces of the belt reinforcing layer are layered at a position of the center region than at positions other than the position of the center region, and in the belt reinforcing layer, a width Wc of the center reinforcing portion in a tire lateral direction with respect to a thickness Gr of the side reinforcing rubber at a tire maximum width position is within a range of 0.5 Gr≤Wc≤2.0 Gr.

PNEUMATIC RADIAL TIRE
In a pneumatic tire, a plurality of belt layers disposed on an outer circumferential side of a carcass layer in a tread portion are formed of steel cords each having a 1×M structure formed of a number of wire strands. The number of wire strands corresponds to one to six wire strands. A tensile modulus of elasticity of the steel cords under 5 N to 50 N load is 130 GPa or more. The steel cords are arranged inclined with respect to a tire circumferential direction to intersect each other in layers of the belt layers. The belt cover layer disposed on an outer circumferential side of the belt layers is formed of organic fiber cords having elongation of 2.0% to 4.0% under 2.0 cN/dtex load. The organic fiber cords are wound helically along the tire circumferential direction.
Shear band with interlaced reinforcements
A shear band that may be used e.g., in a non-pneumatic tire having interlaced reinforcing elements positioned within a shear layer of elastomeric material. A variety of configurations may be used to create the interlaced positioning of the reinforcing elements including e.g., a horizontal diamond or vertical diamond configuration.
