The invention relates to a pneumatic vehicle tyre comprising at least two bracing plies intersecting at an angle, and a bracing bandage. The reinforcements of the bracing plies are exclusively made of steel, each bracing ply having a tension of < 17.500 N per dm of width, with a pre-determined extension of 1%, and the reinforcements of the bracing plies are at an angle of between 18 DEG and 45 DEG to the peripheral direction of the tyre. The reinforcements of the bracing bandage consist of a non-metallic material, preferably polyester, nylon or a hybrid cord, and the bracing bandage has a total tension of > 2.000 N per dm of width, with a pre-determined extension of 1%.
