Motorcycle tyre.

摘要

The invention relates to a motorcycle tyre which comprises: a toroidal carcass (5) having cords extending approxiamately parallel with the radial direction of the tyre, with both ends thereof turned up around bead cores; a pair of reinforcing layers (6 & 7) disposed outside the carcass, with the radially outer ends (6a & 7a) thereof laid in the crown part of the carcass and the radially inner ends (6b, 7b) in the sidewalls; disposed radially outwardly of the reinforcing layers (6,7) to overlap the radially outer ends (6a,7a) of the reinforcing layers the band being a cord layer in which the cords are laid substantially parallel to the circumferential direction of the tyre. The tyre has the advantage of a radial tyre (high wear resistance and high-speed performance) as well as those of a cross-ply (high lateral stiffness).
