RUNFLAT TIRE HAVING OPTIMIZED CARCASS PATH

摘要

The tire of the invention has an optimized path of the outermost carcass designed to maximize the extent of tensile stress in the sidewall and bead portions of the tire. The invention further provides separate reinforcement structures in the bead portion for anchoring the carcass or carcasses in the bead and for retaining the bead on the mounting rim during deflated operatio n, and said anchoring reinforcement also facilitates the maintenance of the desirable carcass profile.
