The pneumatic tire has a reinforcing belt that is asymmetric with respect to the equatorial plane of the tire. The reinforcing belt includes a ply folded to form confronting main and auxiliary portions, with the fold being situated at an axially internal edge of the tire. Other embodiments of the reinforcing belt include a supplementary ply preferably positioned adjacent the auxiliary ply. Further embodiments of the tire include a tread having sculpture characteristics that differ from the axially internal side of the equatorial plane to the axially external side thereof, with provision for the reinforcement belt to be of lesser diameter at an axially external edge of the tire than at an axially internal edge thereof. |
