The aircraft tire (10) has at least two circumferentially extending reinforcement inserts. At least one pair of reinforced inserts (90) is located on each side of the tire. Each insert (90) preferably has two cord reinforced members (91,92) having bias angled cords. The cords are equal but opposite in orientation relative to the cords of the adjacent member. The pairs of reinforced members (91,92) extend from the bead portion (18,20) and terminate in a radially upper portion of the sidewall (14A,16A). Each pair of reinforcement members (91,92) is interposed between a pair of carcass plies (36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43) on the ply side of the tire (10). This structure can increase tire durability while at the same time achieve a significant weight reduction. <IMAGE> |
