A pneumatic tire comprises a carcass which comprises a carcass ply composed of a main portion extending between bead portions and a pair of turned-up portions turned-up around respective bead cores. The bead portion is provided with: a primary bead apex rubber disposed between the carcass-ply main portion and the carcass-ply turned-up portion; an insulation rubber layer extending radially outwardly through between the carcass-ply main portion and the carcass-ply turned-up portion; and a subsidiary bead apex rubber layer disposed on the axially outside of the carcass-ply turned-up portion. The radially outer edge of the insulation rubber layer is located radially outside the radially outer edge of the subsidiary bead apex rubber layer. The complex elastic modulus of the insulation rubber layer is equal to or greater than the complex elastic modulus of the topping rubber of the carcass ply.

At a run-flat tire, given that an average radius of curvature of a case line between an intersection point (0.1SHp) and an intersection point (0.2SHp) when viewed in a cross-section along a tire rotation axis is radius R1, and that an average radius of curvature of the case line between an intersection point (0.4SHp) and an intersection point (0.6SHp) when viewed in the cross-section along the tire rotation axis is radius R2, ratio R2/R1 is set to be greater than 0.3.

In a pneumatic tire in which a carcass layer is turned up from a tire inner side to a tire outer side around a bead core, an end of a turned up portion of the carcass layer is disposed between a body portion of the carcass layer and a belt layer, a transponder that extends along time circumferential direction is embedded between the turned up portion of the carcass layer and a rubber layer disposed in a sidewall portion on an outer side of the carcass layer, and the transponder is disposed between a position (P1) located on an outer side of and 15 mm away from an upper end of the bead core in a tire radial direction and a position (P2) located on an inner side of and 5 mm away from an end of the belt layer in the tire radial direetion

The present invention relates to a tyre for bicycle wheels comprising a tread band containing an anti-puncture system capable of offering high resistance to the penetration of foreign bodies. In particular, the present invention relates to a tyre (100) for bicycle wheels comprising: —a carcass structure (2); and —a tread band (7) arranged in a radially outer position with respect to said carcass structure (2); characterised in that said tread band (7) is made by vulcanisation of a vulcanisable elastomeric compound comprising fibrillated polymeric fibres of micrometric dimensions, wherein at least one protective layer (6, 11) is interposed between said carcass structure (2) and said tread band (7), said protective layer (6, 11) comprising (i) a plurality of reinforcing cords of textile material oriented with respect to the equatorial plane of the tyre with an angle greater than 30°, (ii) a square fabric with textile fibres of the weft or warp oriented with respect to the equatorial plane of the tyre with an angle greater than 20°, or (iii) a non-woven fabric with randomly oriented textile fibres.

A run-flat tire includes side reinforcing rubbers provided along tire width direction inner side surfaces of carcass side portions. A first inner liner is provided along a tire radial direction inner side surface of a carcass central portion and tire width direction inner side surfaces of the side reinforcing rubber. Both end portions of the first inner liner run along a contour in a cross-section along a tire rotational axis direction and are respectively formed further toward a tire radial direction outer side than tire radial direction inner side end portions of the side reinforcing rubber. A second inner liner extends along a surface, which is at a side opposite from the carcass central portion, of the first inner liner. Both end portions of the second inner liner are respectively formed further toward a tire radial direction inner side than the both end portions of the first inner liner, along a contour in a cross-section along the tire rotational axis direction.

A motorcycle tire having excellent handling stability and durability, includes a carcass as a skeleton composed of at least one carcass ply extending toroidally between a pair of bead portions and folded and engaged around a pair of bead cores embedded in each of the pair of bead portions and a belt composed of at least one belt layer arranged on the outer side of the carcass in the tire radial direction. A flipper is arranged between the carcass and a bead core, which wraps the bead core from the inside in the tire radial direction, and the outer side end portion of the flipper in the tire width direction extends to the inside in the tire width direction from the end portion of the belt in the tire width direction.

A pneumatic tire a includes: a pair of beads having a bead core and a bead filler extending from the bead core to an outer side in a tire-radial direction; a pair of sidewalls extending from each of the pair of beads to an outer side in the tire-radial direction; a tread disposed between the pair of sidewalls; a carcass ply bridged between the pair of beads; an internal side reinforcement layer disposed at an inner side in a tire-width direction of the bead filler; and an external side reinforcement layer disposed at an outer side in the tire-width direction of the bead filler, in which the internal side reinforcement layer is disposed more to an inner side in the tire-radial direction than a tire-radial direction outer end of the bead filler, and the external side reinforcement layer has an outside extending part which extends from the bead filler.
