A tyre for vehicle wheels comprising: - a carcass structure comprising at least one carcass ply; - a belt structure applied at a radially outer position with respect to said carcass structure; and - a tread band applied at a radially outer position with respect to said belt structure, wherein the belt structure comprises: - a first belt layer applied at a radially outer position with respect to the carcass structure, said at least a first belt layer incorporating reinforcing elements oriented in one or more directions; - a second belt layer applied on said at least a first belt layer and comprising: i) at least a pair of lateral reinforcing layers substantially symmetrically arranged with respect to the equatorial plane (X-X) of the tyre and positioned at axially outer ends of said second belt layer, said lateral reinforcing layers incorporating reinforcing elements oriented along a substantially circumferential direction, ii) at least a central belt layer axially interposed between said at least a pair of lateral reinforcing layers and incorporating reinforcing elements oriented in one or more directions; - a sheet of elastomeric material arranged between said at least a first belt layer and said second belt layer; - at least a third belt layer, applied at a radially outer position with respect to said second belt layer, said at least a third belt layer incorporating a plurality of reinforcing elements substantially parallel to one another and inclined with respect to the equatorial plane (X-X) of the tyre; and - at least a fourth belt layer, applied at a radially outer position with respect to said third belt layer, said at least a fourth belt layer incorporating reinforcing elements substantially parallel to one another and inclined with respect to the equatorial plane (X-X) of the tyre along an opposite direction with respect to that of the reinforcing elements of said at least a third belt layer. - a carcass structure comprising at least one carcass ply; - a belt structure applied at a radially outer position with respect to said carcass structure; and - a tread band applied at a radially outer position with respect to said belt structure, - a first belt layer applied at a radially outer position with respect to the carcass structure, said at least a first belt layer incorporating reinforcing elements oriented in one or more directions; - a second belt layer applied on said at least a first belt layer and comprising: i) at least a pair of lateral reinforcing layers substantially symmetrically arranged with respect to the equatorial plane (X-X) of the tyre and positioned at axially outer ends of said second belt layer, said lateral reinforcing layers incorporating reinforcing elements oriented along a substantially circumferential direction, ii) at least a central belt layer axially interposed between said at least a pair of lateral reinforcing layers and incorporating reinforcing elements oriented in one or more directions; i) at least a pair of lateral reinforcing layers substantially symmetrically arranged with respect to the equatorial plane (X-X) of the tyre and positioned at axially outer ends of said second belt layer, said lateral reinforcing layers incorporating reinforcing elements oriented along a substantially circumferential direction, ii) at least a central belt layer axially interposed between said at least a pair of lateral reinforcing layers and incorporating reinforcing elements oriented in one or more directions; - a sheet of elastomeric material arranged between said at least a first belt layer and said second belt layer; - at least a third belt layer, applied at a radially outer position with respect to said second belt layer, said at least a third belt layer incorporating a plurality of reinforcing elements substantially parallel to one another and inclined with respect to the equatorial plane (X-X) of the tyre; and - at least a fourth belt layer, applied at a radially outer position with respect to said third belt layer, said at least a fourth belt layer incorporating reinforcing elements substantially parallel to one another and inclined with respect to the equatorial plane (X-X) of the tyre along an opposite direction with respect to that of the reinforcing elements of said at least a third belt layer.
