Abstract:
A radial tire (1) for a heavy-duty vehicle, with at least two working layers (321, 322, 323, 324) in which the reinforcing elements form an angle at least equal to 10° and at most equal to 45° with the circumferential direction. The metal reinforcers of all of the crown layers of the crown reinforcement are extensible and therefore have, in their rubberized state extracted from a polymer matrix, a structural elongation As at least equal to 0.5%, a total elongation at break At at least equal to 3% and a tensile Young's modulus E at most equal to 150 GPa. The narrower of the two working layers has an axial width at least equal to 60% of the width of the tread and the wider of the two working layers has an axial width at least equal to 70% of the width of the tread.
Abstract:

Abstract:
The invention relates to a tire with a radial carcass reinforcement, the said tire comprising a crown reinforcement itself capped radially by a tread. According to the invention, the metal reinforcing elements of the carcass reinforcement are wrapped cords which, in the test referred to as the permeability test, return a flow rate of less than 20 cm3/min and over the whole of the meridian profile of the tire, the thickness of rubber compound between the interior surface of the tire cavity and a point of a metal reinforcing element of the carcass reinforcement is between 1.0 mm and 3.0 mm.
Abstract:
A tire having a radial carcass reinforcement, made up of a single layer of reinforcing elements anchored in each of the beads by being turned up around a bead wire, reinforced by a stiffener. The two working crown layers are the only ones present to form the crown reinforcement over at least 75% of the width of the tread, the absolute value of the difference between the absolute values of the angles α2 and α1 being greater than 8°, α2 being greater than α1 in terms of absolute value, the mean angle α satisfying the relationship 13+131*exp(−L/100)
Abstract:
The tire (10) comprises a crown (12) surmounted by a tread (22), two sidewalls (24), two beads (26), each sidewall (24) connecting each bead (26) to the crown (12), a carcass reinforcement (34) anchored in each of the beads (26) and extending in the sidewalls (24) as far as the crown (12). The carcass reinforcement (34) comprises one carcass ply (44) comprising carcass reinforcing elements (46) having a mean laying pitch (P) strictly greater than 1.5 mm. The carcass ply (44) comprises an elastomer matrix (54) in which the carcass reinforcing elements (46) are embedded, each carcass reinforcing element (46) comprising: one filamentary element (56), and one sheath (58) coating the filamentary element (56) and comprising at least one layer (60) of a thermoplastic polymer composition.
