A belt half width is 55% or more and 85% or less of a carcass half width.

A shear band for a tire includes a first belt layer extending circumferentially around the tire, a second belt layer extending circumferentially around the tire, and a shear band radially interposed between the first belt layer and the second belt layer. The shear band includes a first reinforcing ply radially adjacent the first belt layer, a third reinforcing ply radially adjacent the second belt layer, and a second reinforcing ply radially interposed between the first reinforcing ply and the second reinforcing ply. The first reinforcing ply includes a first flattened, braided tube layer enclosed by a first rubber layer. The second reinforcing ply includes a second flattened, braided tube layer enclosed by a second rubber layer. The third reinforcing ply includes a third flattened, braided tube layer enclosed by a third rubber layer.

A tire (10) for a vehicle comprises a radially outermost working layer (41) which comprises at least one undulation (412) in line with a central rib (251) of the tread (2). The undulation (412) is radially on the outside of the points of the working layer (41) in line with the bottom face (243) of the circumferential groove (24) closest to the undulation (412) and has an amplitude of at least 1 mm. The undulation (412) is vertically in line above at least one local reinforcing layer (6) comprising reinforcing elements that are mutually parallel and make with the circumferential direction (XX′) of the tire an angle of which the absolute value is at most equal to 5°.

Embodiments of the disclosure include a pneumatic tire having improved high speed limits while generally maintaining wear, traction, and handling performance. Said tires include a cap ply extending substantially across a full width of at least one of the belt plies and being arranged at least partially within each shoulder, the cap ply forming a layer of elastomeric material reinforced with a plurality of elongate reinforcements spaced apart in an array, the cap ply being characterized as having a rupture force greater than 210 N per 15 mm of the cap ply width. In each shoulder area of said tires, the tread is characterized as being flatter and having a greater tread thickness.

A pneumatic tire comprising a carcass 11, at least one inclined belt layer 13 having a cord extending inclined at an angle of 30° or more relative to the tire circumferential direction, and a tread 15 arranged outward in the tire radial direction of the inclined belt layer 13, wherein a circumferential cord layer 14 arranged inward in the tire radial direction of the tread 15 has a high-rigidity region and a low-rigidity region and the high-rigidity region has a higher negative ratio in a ground contact width of the tread 15 than the low-rigidity region.
