A pneumatic tire (100) has a crown-reinforcing (C-R) insert (160) which extends from under the tread (120) substantially, such as at least one-third (33%) of the sidewall height (H), into the sidewall (116) of the tire (100). Apexes (150) extend from the beads (122) substantially, such as at least one-third of the sidewall height (H), into the sidewall of the tire (100), thereby effecting a substantial, such as at least one third of the sidewall height (H), "overlap" between end portions of the crown-reinforcing (C-R) insert (160) and the apexes (150). Additionally, at least one belt (132) extends from under the tread (120) substantially into the sidewall (116), and the turn-ups of at least some of the plies (140) extend quite high, such as at least one third of the sidewall height, into the sidewall (116). This combination of features yields superior runflat performance. <IMAGE> |
