A side reinforcing rubber layer includes a second rubber portion having a modulus constant between a boundary surface and a bead portion and larger than a first rubber portion arranged on a tread-portion-2 side. The boundary surface intersects outer and inner surfaces of the side reinforcing rubber layer at first and third points, respectively. The first and third points are arranged on the bead-portion side of second and fourth points, respectively, which are closest points to an outer end of a belt layer of the outer and inner surfaces, respectively. A distance between an inner end of the first rubber portion and the second point is larger than a distance between the second point and the first point.

To provide a pneumatic tire capable of improving the durability of connection points between partition wall parts and a tire inside surface.In a pneumatic tire 10, partition wall parts 24 that extend inward in a tire radial direction from a tire inside surface 17 of tire shoulder parts 21 and whose tire radial direction inside ends contact a rim 12 are disposed. A pair of right and left reinforcement layers 38 are disposed in regions ranging from the partition wall parts 24 to tire side parts 20 via connection parts 29 between the partition wall parts 24 and the tire inside surface 17 such that the reinforcement layers 38 continue from the partition wall parts 24 to the tire side parts 20 via the connection parts 29 between the partition wall parts 24 and the tire inside surface 17. Because of the reinforcement layers 38, the portion of each of the connection parts 29 between the partition wall parts 24 and the tire inside surface 17 where a first carcass ply 32 is disposed and the portion thereof where a second carcass ply 37 is disposed can be prevented from separating, whereby the durability of the connection parts 29 of the partition wall parts 24 can be improved in comparison to what has conventionally been the case.

A tyre for a vehicle wheel includes a carcass structure, a belt structure, a tread band, and sidewalls laterally applied to opposite sides of the carcass structure. The carcass structure includes at least one carcass ply with a first and second series of strip segments and a pair of annular reinforcing structures. In one embodiment, each of the pair of annular reinforcing structures includes a first annular insert having opposed axial surfaces and being positioned between respective lateral portions of the first series of strip segments and respective diverging lateral portions of the second series of strip segments. In this embodiment, no filling body is positioned between the respective lateral portions of the first series of strip segments and the respective diverging lateral portions of the second series of strip segments. In an alternative embodiment, each of the pair of annular reinforcing structures includes a first annular insert and a filling body, the first annular insert and the filling body each having opposed axial surfaces and being positioned between the respective lateral portions of the first series of strip segments and the respective diverging lateral portions of the second series of strip segments.

A tyre for a vehicle wheel includes a carcass structure, a belt structure, a tread band, and sidewalls. The carcass structure includes at least one first and second carcass ply and a pair of annular reinforcing structures. The carcass plies are formed of strip sections extending in a substantially U-shaped conformation, including at least two parallel thread elements at least partly coated with elastomer material. The at least one first (second) carcass ply includes a first (third) and second (fourth) series of strip sections arranged in mutually-alternating sequence along a circumferential extension of the carcass structure. The annular reinforcing structures include first and second primary portions. The first (second) primary portion includes an axially-inner side turned towards end flaps of the strip sections of the first (third) series and an axially-outer side turned towards end flaps of the strip sections of the second (fourth) series.

A tire for a vehicle wheel is provided which comprises a carcass structure, and a belt structure applied to the carcass structure at a circumferentially-outer position of the carcass structure. A tread band is also provided which is circumferentially superposed on the belt structure, and sidewalls are laterally applied to opposite sides of the carcass structure. The carcass structure comprises at least one carcass ply, and a pair of annular reinforcing structures, wherein the at least one carcass ply comprises a first series and a second series of strip segments consecutively arranged along a circumferential development of the carcass structure, and each strip segment extends according to a substantially U-shaped conformation. In addition, each strip segment comprises at least two filiform elements, positioned longitudinally and parallel to each other, and at least partially coated by at least one layer of elastomer material. Also, each annular reinforcing structure is engaged in proximity to a respective inner circumferential edge of the at least one carcass ply. Each annular reinforcing structure comprises at least one primary portion, and at least one additional portion, wherein the at least one primary portion comprises an axially-inner side oriented toward terminal edges of the first series of strip segments, and the at least one primary portion comprises an axially-outer side oriented toward terminal edges of the second series of strip segments. Further, the at least one primary portion comprises a first circumferentially-inextensible annular insert, a filling body, and at least one second circumferentially-inextensible annular insert, wherein the first annular insert is substantially annulus-shaped, is positioned coaxially to the carcass structure, adjacent to the respective inner circumferential edge of the at least one carcass ply, and is formed by at least one elongated element extending in concentric turns. Moreover, the filling body is made of elastomeric material, and is joined to the first annular insert. The at least one second annular insert is substantially annulus-shaped, and is positioned coaxially to the carcass structure, axially side-by-side to the filling body and laterally opposite relative to the first annular insert, wherein the at least one second annular insert is formed by at least one elongated element extending in concentric turns, the at least one additional portion is positioned against the terminal edges of the second series of strip segments on a side opposite to the at least one primary portion, the at least one additional portion comprises at least one third circumferentially-inextensible annular insert, the at least one third annular insert is substantially annulus-shaped, the at least one third annular insert is positioned coaxially to the carcass structure, adjacent to the respective inner circumferential edge of the at least one carcass ply, and the at least one third annular insert is formed by at least one elongated element extending in concentric turns,

A tire carcass structure includes at least one carcass ply and a pair of annular reinforcing structures. The at least one carcass ply includes a first and second series of strip segments. Each strip segment extends around a cross-section profile of the carcass structure to define two lateral portions and an annulus portion. Each annular reinforcing structure includes at least one primary portion and at least one additional portion. The at least one primary portion includes a first circumferentially-inextensible annular insert and a filling body. The at least one additional portion includes at least one second circumferentially-inextensible annular insert.

The anchoring of the carcass reinforcing elements 1 is assured by circumferential cables 2, with the interposition of a connecting rubber composition 3. The circumferential cable 2 is arranged in several turns forming one or more helices. These circumferential cables have an operational elongation rate Af=Ae+Ap of more than 4%. This operational elongation rate does not include the specific elongation As of the “cable” effect. The maximum stress Rm of the cable 2 is preferably more than 2000 MPa. The cables have undergone a heat treatment which has, in combination, the features of being a recovery annealing treatment and which is carried out directly on cable comprising wires previously separately covered by an adherent coating.
