<p>A pneumatic tire is disclosed having improved sidewall flexibility by using a reinforcing structure between the bead zone comprised of at least two strips of textile cord sandwiching a strip of metal cord. The angle formed between the textile cord strips and the circumferential line of the tire is 15 DEG to 40 DEG and the textile cords are parallel to one another. The metal cords are also parallel to one another. The angle formed between the metal cord strip and the tire's circumferential line is from 2 DEG to 10 DEG greater than the angle between the textile cords and the circumferential line. The angle of inclination of the metal cord strip is in a direction opposite to the textile cord strips.</p> |
