Claim:
A tire comprising: two beads configured to come into contact with a mounting rim; two sidewalls extending the beads radially to the outside; a crown joining the two sidewalls together and comprising a crown reinforcement extending axially between two axial ends and surmounted by a tread; a carcass reinforcement comprising a plurality of carcass reinforcing elements, the carcass reinforcement being anchored in the two beads and extending across the sidewalls to the crown; a hooping reinforcement, arranged radially outside the crown reinforcement, said hooping reinforcement extending from the median plane of the tire axially to the outside, on both sides of the median plane, said hooping reinforcement being formed from at least one reinforcing element oriented circumferentially; wherein in any radial section, the axial distance D between neighbouring portions of the hooping reinforcement is greater than or equal to 0.7 mm and smaller than or equal to 2 mm, with the exception of: one first axial region L 1 having an intersection with the median plane of the tire, the axial distance of each of the axial ends of the first axial region L 1 from the median plane being greater than or equal to 0.05·S and smaller than or equal to 0.15·S, S being the maximum axial width of the tire, and two second axial regions L 2 , provided on both sides of the median plane, each second axial region being centred at an axial distance D 2 from the median plane, D 2 being greater than or equal to 0.25·S and smaller than or equal to 0.4·S, S being the maximum axial width of the tire, each second axial region L 2 having an axial width W 2 that is greater than or equal to 0.1·S; the sum of the axial widths of the first and second axial regions being smaller than or equal to 0.5·S, S being the maximum axial width of the tire, the axial distance D between neighbouring portions of the hooping reinforcement in the said first and second axial regions L 1 and L 2 being smaller than 0.7 mm or greater than 2.0 mm, wherein the difference between: the average axial distance between neighbouring portions of the hooping reinforcement in the said first and second axial regions L 1 and L 2 , and the average axial distance between neighbouring portions of the hooping reinforcement outside the said first and second axial regions L 1 and L 2 , is of at least 0.2 mm; and wherein the axial distance between neighbouring portions of the hooping reinforcement is greater than 2.0 mm in the first axial region L 1 and the two second axial regions L 2 .
