Patent ID: 8578989

Claim:
A motor vehicle tyre comprising: a carcass structure comprising a central crown portion and two axially opposed lateral portions, each lateral portion being associated with a respective bead structure; a belt structure applied in a position radially external to the carcass structure; and a tyre tread applied in a position radially external relative to the belt structure, said tyre having a transverse curvature ratio f/C≧0.2 and a sidewall height ratio (H−f)≦0.7; and said belt structure being provided with a belt layer comprising at least one filiform reinforcing element arranged to form a plurality of windings parallel to one another at a substantially zero angle relative to an equatorial plane of the tyre, wherein, in an intermediate zone between the equatorial plane and a shoulder, said belt has an available elongation greater than an available elongation corresponding to the equatorial plane; and wherein said intermediate zone extends at least in a range centred on a camber angle of ±35°, and wherein the available elongation is substantially decreasing between a range centred on a camber angle of about ±45° and the shoulder.
