Agricultural Vehicle Tire Comprising a Single-Layer Carcass Reinforcement
A tire for an agricultural vehicle (1), and in particular the carcass reinforcement (4) thereof, for a tire running at low pressure on loose ground, is to reduce the compaction of the ground and to increase the traction capability by reducing the structural stiffness of the tire. According to the invention, the carcass reinforcement (4) is made up of a single carcass layer (41) having a mean thickness E at most equal to 2 mm and a breaking strength Fr, expressed in daN/cm, that satisfies the relationship:
Fr>=Fs=(Cs*Pmax*10.sup.−3)*((R.sup.2−((R+Rj)/2).sup.2)/2)/Rj, with Fs: reference threshold strength (in daN/cm) Cs: safety factor at least equal to 1, Pmax: recommended maximum inflation pressure (in kPa), R=D/2: outside radius of the tire (in mm), Rj=Dj/2: nominal radius of the rim (in mm).
PNEUMATIC TIRE

The ground contacting tread component is made of a first resin material. The sidewall portions and the under tread portion are made of a second resin material. The bead portions are made of a third resin material. The tensile elastic moduli E1 to E3 of the first to third resin materials M3, respectively, satisfy E1<E2<E3.
PNEUMATIC VEHICLE TYRE COMPRISING A CARCASS
Pneumatic vehicle tyre comprising a carcass (3), wherein the carcass (3) has two carcass plies (31, 32), wherein each carcass ply (31, 32) has reinforcements which are arranged inside the carcass ply (31, 32) substantially parallel to each other. The problem addressed by the invention is to provide a pneumatic vehicle tyre which likewise creates a high quality impression of sufficient robustness to a viewer and, in the process, is cheaper to produce and has a reduced rolling resistance. The invention is characterised in that the product EF1 of the average modulus of elasticity of the reinforcements, as measured with an extension of 2%, of the first carcass ply (31) and the thread density of the reinforcements of the first carcass ply (31), and the product EF2 of the average modulus of elasticity of the reinforcements of the second carcass ply (32) and the thread density of reinforcements of the second carcass ply (32), satisfy the relationship EF1>EF2.
