REINFORCING STRUCTURE FOR RADIAL TYRES

摘要

An annular reinforcing structure for vehicle tires of a radial carcass has at least two radially superimposed layers of metal cords having an elongation at break between 2.6% and 3.2%. Two reinforcing rings are disposed in a radially external position at the extremities of the layers of metal cords with the axially outer edges coinciding with each other. The rings have a width between 7% and 40% of the width of the radially inner layers, and comprise metal cords having an elongation at break between 4% and 8%. The metal cords are oriented according to the longitudinal direction of the tire and are disposed in at least two radially superimposed strips.
