A pneumatic tire comprises: a carcass layer; a belt layer which is positioned to the outer side of the carcass layer in the tire radial direction; and a rubber tread which is positioned on the outer side of the belt layer in the tire radial direction. The belt layer is formed by laminating a pair of intersecting belts having belt angle with absolute values of 10 to 45 and mutually opposite-signed belt angles, and a circumferential reinforcing layer having a belt angle which is within a range of 5 with respect to the tire circumferential direction. A distance (Gcc) from the tread profile to the tire inner circumferential surface along the tire equatorial plane, and a distance (Gsh) from a tread end to the tire inner circumferential surface have a relationship satisfying 1.10Gsh/Gcc.

A tire (10) for two-wheeled vehicles comprises a crown (12) comprising: a tread (20), and a hoop reinforcement (17) comprising at least one hooping ply (19) comprising one or more hoop reinforcing elements (44) comprising an assembly made up of a multifilament strand of aromatic polyamide or aromatic copolyamide (47) and of a multifilament strand of aliphatic polyamide (48). The twist factor K of the hoop reinforcing element (44) ranges from 5.5 to 6.5. The tire (10) is obtained by a method comprising a step of manufacturing the hooping ply (19), in which the bonded reinforcing elements (44) are embedded in a polymer composition in order to form the uncured hooping ply, the equivalent initial tensile modulus of the uncured hooping ply ranging from 330 to 620 cN/tex/dm.

The pneumatic tire includes a carcass layer, a belt layer disposed outward of the carcass layer in the tire radial direction, and a tread rubber disposed outward of the belt layer in the tire radial direction. Moreover, the belt layer is formed by laminating a pair of cross belts having a belt angle with an absolute value from 10 to 45 both inclusive and mutually opposite signs, and the circumferential reinforcing layer having a belt angle within a range of 5 relative to the tire circumferential direction. Moreover, the distance (Gcc) from the tread profile to the tire inner circumferential surface along the tire equatorial plane and the distance (Gsh) from the tread edge to the tire inner circumferential surface have a relationship satisfying 1.10Gsh/Gcc.

A tire including a belt having a steel cord belt layer, and a bandage externally bearing radially on the belt. The bandage includes a rubber strip containing reinforcement cord. This rubber strip is wound about the belt at least from one axial belt end up to at least the other axial belt end, the ratio of the axial winding component to the circumferential winding component along the rubber strip is less than 0.01, and, over at least 70% of the axial belt width, does not vary by more than 2%. The spacing of two neighboring cords in two adjacent portions of the wound rubber strip at each circumferential position does not vary by more than 5% compared to the spacing of the cords in the rubber strip. The cords in the bandage are subjected to tension of at least 3 N/mm.sup.2 over at least 25% of the axial belt width.

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.

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 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, a belt layer is formed by laminating a pair of cross belts having a belt angle, as an absolute value, of not less than 10 and not greater than 45 and having belt angles of mutually opposite signs, and a circumferential reinforcing layer having a belt angle within a range of 5 with respect to the tire circumferential direction. Moreover, the distance (Gcc) from the tread profile to the tire inner circumferential surface along the tire equatorial plane and the distance (Gsh) from the tread edge to the tire inner circumferential surface have a relationship satisfying 1.10Gsh/Gcc.

A pneumatic tire includes a tread portion, carcass, inclined belt, and circumferential belt. The inclined belt is formed by inclined belt layer(s) including cords inclined relative to the tire circumferential direction. A circumferential main groove is provided in the tread portion. The inclined belt includes a high-angle inclined belt layer in which the cords are at an inclination angle of 35 to 90 relative to the tire circumferential direction. In at least one tread half portion, an edge of the high-angle inclined belt layer in the tire width direction is positioned further outward in the tire width direction than the circumferential main groove disposed furthest outward in the tire width direction. The interval in the tire width direction from the edge to the center of the circumferential main groove is 0.2W.sub.1 to 0.35W.sub.1, where W.sub.1 is the width of the high-angle inclined belt layer in the tire width direction.

A tire including: a circular tire frame that includes a polyamide-based thermoplastic elastomer having a hard segment and a soft segment, the hard segment containing a copolymer of a dicarboxylic acid having from 4 to 12 carbon atoms and a diamine having from 4 to 12 carbon atoms, and the soft segment containing a polyamine; and a reinforcing cord layer that includes a reinforcing cord member wound around an outer circumferential portion of the tire frame along a tire circumferential direction at an average interval of from 0.4 mm to 3.2 mm in a tire width direction.
