Claim 1
Independent Claim
120 words
A vehicle tire comprising a radial carcass having a crown point on a meridian plane, a tread, an annular reinforcing structure between the carcass and tread, said annular reinforcing structure comprising at least two reinforcing layers of metal monofilaments, each monofilament being embedded in said reinforcing layers as a single individual, metallic element spaced from the adjacent filaments, said monofilaments of each layer being parallel to one another and inclined at an angle between 10° and 30° with respect to the direction of the equatorial plane of the tire, the monofilaments of one layer crossing those of the adjacent layer, said carcass having a radius of curvature on the meridian plane in its crown point of at least 400 mm.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
120 words
A vehicle tire comprising a radial carcass having a crown point on a meridian plane, a tread, an annular reinforcing structure between the carcass and tread, said annular reinforcing structure comprising at least two reinforcing layers of metal monofilaments, each monofilament being embedded in said reinforcing layers as a single individual, metallic element spaced from the adjacent filaments, said monofilaments of each layer being parallel to one another and inclined at an angle between 10° and 30° with respect to the direction of the equatorial plane of the tire, the monofilaments of one layer crossing those of the adjacent layer, said carcass having a radius of curvature on the meridian plane in its crown point of at least 400 mm.
Claim 3
