Split cord geodesic configurations for a tire

摘要

A cord ply construction for a tire is provided formed by a series of spaced single line cord paths (190), each extending along a path from an originating side of the tire across the crown region to an opposite terminal tire side, the cord paths each creating a loop (196) at the terminal tire side and returning to the originating side and wherein the series of spaced single line cord paths combine to form a completed cord ply layer. Each cord path forms a cord angle that changes in magnitude from the originating side to the terminal tire side, the cord angle being at a highest magnitude at a tire tread centerline and decreasing toward the originating tire side
