Patent ID: 7217751

Claim:
A tire incorporating an elastomeric composition based on a diene elastomer, a reinforcing inorganic filler and a bis-alkoxysilane tetrasulfide, wherein said tetrasulfide of alkoxysilane satisfies the formula (I): in which: the symbols R 1 , which may be identical or different, each represent a monovalent hydrocarbon group selected from the group consisting of alkyls, whether straight-chain or branched, having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and alkoxyalkyls, whether straight-chain or branched, having from 2 to 8 carbon atoms; the symbols R 2 and R 3 , which may be identical or different, each represent a monovalent hydrocarbon group selected from the group consisting of alkyls, whether straight-chain or branched, having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and the phenyl radical; and x is between about 3 and about 5.
