TIRE COMPRISING A LOW ANGLE BELT

Abstract

A tire is disclosed comprising a tread (20) and a belt portion (100) located radially below the tread (20), wherein the belt portion (100) comprises a pair of working belts (110, 130) and a relatively low angle belt (120) comprising a wound ply strip. The ply strip has parallel reinforcement elements making an angle of less than 5° with a circumferential direction of the tire (1, 10). The pair of working belts (110, 130) comprises a first working belt (110) and a second working belt (130), wherein each working belt of the pair of working belts comprises parallel reinforcement elements, and wherein the reinforcement elements of the first working belt (110) and the reinforcement elements of the second working belt (130) cross each other with an opposite angular orientation. An absolute value of the angle of the reinforcement elements of each working belt with the circumferential direction ranges from 10° to 50°. The difference between i) the absolute value of the angle with the circumferential direction of the reinforcement elements of the first working belt (110) and ii) the absolute value of the angle with the circumferential direction of the reinforcement elements of the second working belt (130) is at least 2°.
