Abstract:
1. Tyre for vehicles, in particular for motor vehicles, which has an axis of symmetry and comprises a tread, two sidewalls, two beads which are attachable to a wheel rim, the beads being made of elastomer material, and at least one tubular reinforcement body for coaxial reinforcement on the said axis, which is surrounded by the said tread and extends between the said sidewalls; each of the said sidewalls comprising a respective resilient annular membrane with a straight generatrix which forms an angle (A) other than 90° with the axis of the tyre; characterised in that the said tubular reinforcement body comprises an annular belt and a plurality of blocks which are supported by the said annular belt in positions adjacent to one another, and can be forced against one another in order to apply resistance to the circumferential actions of compression present on the tyre during the rotation of the tyre itself; the said blocks being tapered towards the interior of the tyre and distributed in order to form a plurality of axial rows parallel to the said axis and a plurality of circumferential rows.
