Abstract: When this airplane tire is mounted on its rim, its carcass reinforcement has a relative camber of convexity before inflation which is at most equal to 0.17 in the crown and at most equal to to 0.20 in the sidewalls. After inflation, the equilibrium curve of this carcass reinforcement is, at the level of the shoulders of the tire, located radially outwards of its equilibrium curve in the tire before inflation.The cables of the lateral plies of the tripartite crown reinforcement are very extensible and have a high coefficient of contraction under the heat at the temperature of vulcanization of the tire.

Abstract: The tripartite crown reinforcement of this tire is subdivided into a median portion composed of two plies of cables whose extensibility is practically zero, flanked by two lateral portions each composed of three plies of cables whose extensibility is very great. When this tire is not inflated, the edges of its tread resume the falling shape which has been imparted to them in the vulcanization mold.

Abstract: A tire, particularly for aircraft, has a crown reinforcement formed of plies of circumferential cables having a relative extensibility upon rupture of at least 8%, preferably between 10% and 26%, when the vulcanized tire is mounted on its service rim but not yet inflated, and a relative contraction under the effect of the heat at the temperature of vulcanization of at least 1.25%, preferably between 2% and 8%.
