A bias-belted motorcycle tire whose belt cord angle is at least two degrees less than the cord angle of the carcass plies. A sidewall stiffening structure extends from each bead and terminates in the respective sidewall a distance from the respective bead which is equal to between about 40 and about 60 percent of tire section height. A belt extends across the tread and terminates at a location which is spaced radially from the radially outermost point of the sidewall stiffening structure a distance equal to at least one-half inch to provide a flex zone. This abstract is not to be taken as limiting the invention of this application, and in order to understand the full nature and extent of the technical disclosure of this application, reference must be made to the accompanying drawings and the following detailed description. |
