An asymmetric pneumatic vehicle tire is disclosed. The tire includes a carcass, a tread overlying the crown region of the carcass and a tread reinforcing band positioned between the tread and the crown region. The reinforcing band circumferentially surrounds the carcass and includes a rubberized sheet of parallel ply cords which is folded at its sides to provide a first transversely continuous circumferential layer and a second circumferential layer formed by first and second portions and having a circumferential zone of discontinuity. The reinforcing band further includes a circumferential ribbon of rubberized parallel ply cords which is positioned adjacent to the sheet of cords and in the zone of discontinuity. The zone of discontinuity and the ribbon are so positioned that the midpoint between the axis of the zone of discontinuity and the axis of the ribbon is offset from the median equatorial plane of the tire, thereby providing the desired asymmetric tire. |
