An object is to improve durability without increasing the tire mass. An aircraft pneumatic tire (10) includes: a carcass ply (12) that straddles between a pair of bead portions (24); an inside belt layer (14) that is provided at a tire radial direction outer side of a crown portion of the carcass ply (12); an outside belt layer (16) that is provided at the tire radial direction outer side of the inside belt layer (14) and that is configured by a cord of cord configuration elements that have been twisted together; a belt protection layer (18) that is provided at the tire radial direction outer side of the outside belt layer (16) and that is configured by a cord of cord configuration elements that have been twisted together; and a low elasticity portion that is provided at at least one of the cord of the belt protection layer (18) or the cord of the outside belt layer (16), and that has a lower elasticity than other length direction portions of the cord (32).

Motorcycles tyre including a carcass structure, a zero-degree belt structure 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 structure. The belt structure includes at least one hybrid reinforcing cord that has an elongation greater than 4% when subjected to a load equal to about 50 N and a tangent modulus with a monotonic progression as the elongation increases for elongations comprised between 4% and at least 9%.

A tire comprises two working crown layers of reinforcing elements and, in each shoulder, an end of a layer of parallel reinforcing elements oriented circumferentially, said end being axially outside the working crown layers. The reinforcing elements have a diameter less than 1 mm and comprise threads with a diameter strictly greater than 0.16 mm, and, in a radial plane, the ratio between the thicknesses of rubber compound between the inner surface of the tire cavity and that point of a metal reinforcing element of the carcass reinforcement that is closest to said inner surface of the cavity, of the two parts of the tire profile that are centered on the respective orthogonal projections onto the inner surface of the tire cavity of the axially outer ends of said additional layers, and of the parts of the tire profile that have the smallest thicknesses, being greater than 1.15.

A pneumatic tire is provided with a carcass layer, a belt layer disposed on the outer side of the carcass layer in a radial direction of the tire, and tread rubber disposed on the outer side of the belt layer in the radial direction of the tire. The belt layer is formed by layering a pair of cross belts having belt angles with absolute values from 10 to 45 inclusive and opposite signs, and a circumferential reinforcing layer having a belt angle within a range of 5 with respect to the circumferential direction of the tire. A distance (Gcc) from a tread profile to an inner circumferential surface of the tire along a tire equatorial plane and a distance (Gsh) from a tread end (p) to the inner circumferential surface of the tire have a relationship such that 1.10Gsh/Gcc.

A crown reinforcement formed of at least two working crown layers of reinforcing elements. The tire additionally comprises, in each shoulder, at least one end of a layer of reinforcing elements that are mutually parallel in the layer and are oriented circumferentially, said end being axially outside said at least two working crown layers, the reinforcing elements of the carcass reinforcement having a diameter less than 0.85 mm, and said reinforcing elements of the carcass reinforcement being made up of threads with a diameter less than 0.16 mm.

Provided are a pneumatic tire with improved dimensional stability, low loss property, and durability and a method of producing the same. In a pneumatic tire, a rubber-fiber composite is used in at least any of a carcass ply and a cap ply, the rubber-fiber composite containing: a fiber cord made of polyamide multifilament fibers having a glass transition temperature in a range of 150 C. to 200 C.; and a rubber, a layer made of a resorcin-formalin-latex adhesive is formed at an interface between the fiber cord and the rubber, and a thermal contraction stress at 177 C. of the fiber cord with the layer formed thereon is 0.01 cN/dtex to 0.2 cN/dtex.

The cap ply reinforcement strip is a ready-to-use plain woven fabric and is composed of hybrid cord warps (3) and texturized weft yarns (2). The cap ply reinforcement strip for pneumatic tires (1) eliminates calendering and strip preparation steps by eliminating the need for rubber coating and decreases the rolling resistance of the tire and the fuel consumption.

A pneumatic tire comprises a tread portion provided with a band layer disposed radially inside a tread rubber provided with a first circumferential groove. Cords of the band layer are a hybrid cord formed by twisting together a first filament and a second filament having an elastic modulus lower than that of the first filament. In a region radially inside the first circumferential groove, a maximum thickness t1 of topping rubber on the radially outer side of the band cords is not more than 1.0 mm; a minimum distance d1 from the bottom of the first circumferential groove to the radially outer surface of the band layer is not more than 2.0 mm; and a distance d2 from a groove edge of the first circumferential groove to the radially outer surface of the band layer is not more than 15.0 mm.

A tire includes a tire frame member made of a resin material; a top tread disposed outside the tire frame member in a tire radial direction; a belt layer disposed between the tire frame member and the top tread, the width dimension BW of the belt layer in a tire axial direction being in a range of from 85 to 105% of the ground width dimension TW of the top tread; and a belt reinforcement layer disposed at end portions of the belt layer in a tire width direction, the belt reinforcement layer having lower stiffness than the belt layer.

In a pneumatic tire including a carcass layer mounted between a pair of bead portions and a belt reinforcing layer disposed on an outer circumferential side of the carcass layer, the carcass layer is formed of a carcass cord made of an organic fiber cord, an elongation at break of the carcass cord is set to 20% or more, an elongation under a load of 1.5 cN/dtex of the carcass cord on the inner circumferential side of the belt layers is set to from 5.5% to 8.5%, the belt reinforcing layer is formed of a cover cord made of an organic fiber cord, and a tensile strength of the cover cord per width of 50 mm at a 3.0% elongation is set to from 2.8 kN to 4.0 kN.
