The invention relates to a tyre that is intended to be mounted on a vehicle supporting a heavy load, such as a truck, a civil engineering vehicle and/or an aircraft, said tyre comprising a carcass reinforcement whereon is radially mounted a crown reinforcement and a tyre tread. According to the invention, the crown reinforcement (3) comprises at least two plies (31, 32) of metallic reinforcing elements which are mutually parallel in each ply and criss-crossed from one ply to the next, forming an angle of between 10 and 35 DEG with the circumferential direction. Said crown reinforcement also comprises a ply (5) of reinforcing elements at least in each shoulder which are mutually parallel in the ply and which are oriented radially. Moreover, the axially inner edge (51) of said ply (5) is disposed such that it is radially adjacent to at least one edge of one of the plies (30, 31, 32, 33) of the crown reinforcement (3) while the axially outer edge (52) of said ply (5) is radially lower than the edge of the above-mentioned adjacent ply. |
