Pneumatic tires for service on heavy vehicles having a belt package with widened belts. The tire (10) includes a belt reinforcing structure or belt package (20) having multiple cut belts (24, 26) of which one of the cut belts (24) has a width approximately equal to the tire footprint. Widening two of the cut belts (24, 26) and forming at least one of the widened cut belts (24, 26) from a lighter material serves to improve tire durability in the regions of the tire crown (30) and shoulder (18) without increasing the overall tire weight. <IMAGE> |
