Tires with high strength reinforcement

Claim 1

A pneumatic tire with a carcass having radial cords, two sidewalls spaced apart a distance, which in the axial direction, determines the width of the tire section, two beads each one of which around which are turned up, from the inside toward the outside, the ends of the cords of the carcass, a tread disposed on the crown of the carcass, and a belt structure that is circumferentially inextensible interposed between the tread and the carcass, the belt structure having a width that is substantially equal to that of the tread and having four radially overlapped layers of elastomeric fabric reinforced with metallic cords, the metallic cords being parallel to each other within each layer and inclined at an angle of between 19° and 66° with respect to the equatorial plane of the tire, comprising the belt structure having a cord for at least two of the belt layers, the cord having the U+T type structure with U filaments untwisted and parallel and T filaments twisted together as a group and then twisted with the U filaments with the same lay length and twist direction as that of the T group, the cord filaments being of super tensile steel, the cord end count of the at least two of the belt layers being 10 to 17.5 EPI, the cord filament diameter being 0.30 to 0.38 mm and the tire being a load range F or G tire.
