Abstract A pneumatic tyre comprising a carcass (5) extending between beads (4), and a belt (6) disposed radially outside the carcass (5) and inside a tread (2) and having opposite axial edges, characterised in that the belt (6) comprises at least one continuous cord wound around the carcass (5) lying zigzag between the edges of the belt (6) to define oblique cord segments extending between the edges (F1,F2) of the belt (6), the cord segments including first oblique cord segments and second oblique cord segments, the first cord segments being laid substantially parallel to each other, and the second cord segments being laid substantially parallel to each other and crosswise to the first cord segments. <IMAGE>

Claim 2
Dependent Claim
34 words
A tyre according to claim 1, characterised in that between the adjacent oblique cord segments, said at least one belt cord (11) is smoothly bent axially of the tyre to form round bent portions.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
47 words
A tyre according to claim 2, characterised in that between the adjacent oblique cord segments, said at least one belt cord is bent axially of the tyre so that a circumferential cord segment is formed in each of the bent portions between the adjacent oblique cord segments.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
39 words
A tyre according to claim 2 or 3, characterised in that said belt (6) comprises a plurality of cords (11) laid zigzag between the edges of the belt and in parallel with each other all over the length thereof.
