Patent ID: 7926533

Claim:
A pneumatic tire comprising: a sidewall structure portion; a tread structure portion; a belt structure portion; and, a carcass structure portion comprising: a bead core; an apex; and, a carcass reinforcement portion comprising: a first, a second, a third, and a fourth high modulus up ply; a first and a second high modulus down ply; and, a first and a second low modulus chipper, wherein the second low modulus chipper is axially outward from the second high modulus down ply and the first low modulus chipper is axially inward from the second high modulus down ply and axially outward from the first high modulus down ply; and wherein the tire comprises at least one from the group comprising: (i) wherein the distance the first low modulus chipper extends radially outward from the center of the bead core is about ½ of the section height of the pneumatic tire; (ii) wherein the distance the second low modulus chipper extends radially outward from the center of the bead core is greater than the height of the apex plus 1.5 inches and less than the distance the first low modulus chipper extends radially outward from the center of the bead core; (iii) wherein the end of the second high modulus down ply is located a distance radially outward from the center of the bead core that is at least the radial height of the apex plus about 1.0 inches; and (iv) wherein the end of the first high modulus down ply is located radially outward from the end of the second high modulus down ply and the end of the second low modulus chipper.
