An improved reinforcing belt is provided for a pneumatic tire. In one embodiment, a composite belt is formed by bonding together a plurality of resin impregnated plies. Each ply is further formed from cords having a high extensional modulus of elasticity and a high tenacity which reinforce a matrix of semi-rigid resin. Preferably, the resin is cured or formed in situ during the curing of the tire in which the plies are placed. In another embodiment, a structural separator having a high resistance to compression is bonded to and between at least two of the plies.
