A tyre having a pair of axially spaced-apart bead regions each reinforced by an annular bead hoop around which one edge of a carcass reinforcing ply is wrapped and a filler strip positioned in the axially outer region of the bead which extends circumferentially around the bead, has one edge radially inwards of the bead hoop and one edge axially outwards of the bead hoop and comprises substantially weftless tyre cord fabric with the cords at an acute angle to the circumferential centreline of the bead hoop characterised in that the filler strips (6) in both beads have their cords (8) laid at an angle to the same specified direction circumferentially such that the cords (8) of one filler strip (6) are substantially parallel to the cords (8) of the other filler strip (6) and the tyre has an external direction marker (12) in the same circumferential direction to the specified direction so that in use the tyre may be fitted to a vehicle with the marker (12) in the opposite direction to the greatest torque force from the wheel. …<??>The filler strip may be cut edge tyre cord fabric or a single cord laid in a zig-zag to form the fabric. |
