Patent ID: 7021352

Claim:
A tire comprising: two beads intended to be in contact with a mounting rim (J), at least one of the said beads having a bead seat inclined towards the outside, this bead comprising an anchoring device formed by at least one circumferential bead reinforcement element and a wedge made from rubber mix with a high hardness (modulus at 10% deformation at least equal to 25 MPa) and with a substantially triangular shape delimited by a top face radially to the outside, a bottom face radially to the inside and a lateral face axially to the outside connecting the previous two faces, this wedge having a vertex (S), opposite to the lateral face, situated radially to the inside of the circumferential bead reinforcement element, a radial carcass reinforcement formed from a rubber mix reinforced by a plurality of reinforcements forming, in the tire, an angle equal to or close to 90° to the circumferential direction, this carcass reinforcement being anchored in each bead having a seat inclined towards the outside to an anchoring device, passing radially inside the circumferential bead reinforcement element and going from the inside to the outside of the tire in order to form an upturn extending over or in the wedge made from rubber mix, and axially to the outside of the lateral face of the wedge, a protuberance made from rubber mix forming the portion axially furthest towards the outside of each bead having a seat inclined towards the outside, this protuberance being provided for axially protecting the rim (J) against abrasion and impacts when the tire is mounted on its mounting rim, wherein each bead, having a seat inclined towards the outside, comprises, between the protuberance axially towards the outside of the said bead and the lateral face of the wedge, a bead protection profile with a thickness at least equal to 0.3 mm made from rubber mix whose modulus at 10% deformation is greater than the modulus of the material constituting the said protuberance and in that the modulus at 10% deformation of the material forming the protuberance is between 8 and 20 MPa.
