In a pneumatic vehicle tire of a divided carcass the reinforcement elements are arranged at different angles of orientation. They may be provided as a combination of the same or different materials, the same or different cord constructions, the same or different packing densities. The overlap area of two adjacent carcass layer sections represents a transition area of a gradually stepped stiffness. The overlap area represents a constructive discontinuity and is employed for influencing the force fluctuations. The divided carcass which is essentially a sounding board may also be influenced by differently constructed carcass layer sections. The manufacture of such a divided carcass is inexpensive.
