Abstract: A reinforcement layer for elastomeric products is formed of hybrid cords that are arranged substantially parallel to each other within the layer. The hybrid cords are composed of a first twisted textile yarn made of a first material and a second twisted textile yarn made of a second material. The ends of the two yarns are twisted with each other. The first twisted textile yarn is a polyketone yarn and the second twisted textile yarn is a polyester yarn.

Abstract: A pneumatic vehicle tire has a profiled tread, two side walls, and at least one protective rib running on the surface of the side wall over its circumference. The protective rib is disposed above and with a spacing distance from a side wall marking or a side wall decoration. The protective rib has a lower negative contour with at least one recess, which is configured to correspond to the positive contour of the side wall marking or side wall decoration facing the protective rib, such that the protective rib at least partially accommodates the upper half of the side wall marking or side wall decoration in the recess.

Abstract: A pneumatic vehicle tire has peripheral grooves with outer edges on a tread periphery, running peripherally parallel and substantially linearly. A groove base path on a groove base is wavy or zigzags and narrower than a peripheral groove. Projections of groove sides assigned to inward pointing corners of the groove base path are parts or sections of bodies with a base surface having at least four free sides. The base surface runs near the periphery at an angle of at least 60° and is inclined to the radial. The base surface has boundary surfaces running from the free sides toward the groove base at a smaller angle and being inclined to the radial. Two side surfaces run between adjacent projections in peripheral direction, toward the groove base path and have an angle of inclination to the radial larger than the boundary surface angle and smaller than the base surface angle.
