Patent ID: 8776848

Claim:
A tire for a motorized two-wheeled vehicle, comprising a carcass-type reinforcing structure formed of at least two layers of reinforcing elements and anchored on each side of the tire to a bead whose base is intended to be mounted on a wheel rim seat, each bead being continued radially outward by a sidewall, the sidewalls being joined radially outward to a tread, and comprising underneath the tread a crown reinforcement structure comprising at least one layer of reinforcing elements, wherein at least a surface of the tread comprises a first polymeric compound extending in at least a region of an equatorial plane and at least one second polymeric compound having physicochemical properties different from those of said first polymeric compound, wherein the reinforcing elements of said at least two layers forming the carcass-type reinforcing structure form angles with the circumferential direction of between 70° and 85°, wherein density of reinforcing elements in a radially inner layer of the at least two carcass reinforcement layers is less than that in a radially outer layer of the at least two carcass reinforcement layers, and wherein a distance between the reinforcing elements of each of said at least two layers forming the carcass-type reinforcing structure is not more than 0.5 mm across at least 60% of an axial width of at least one region composed of the second polymeric compound and wherein the at least two layers of reinforcing elements of the carcass-type reinforcing structure include a first layer and a second layer having different lengths and different calendaring thickness, wherein the length of the first layer is longer than the length of the second layer, and wherein the calendaring thickness of the first layer is thinner than the calendaring thickness of the second layer.
