Abstract: A tire includes a circumferential tread, a pair of sidewalls, and a pair of bead portions. Each bead portion includes a bead and a bead filler having an apex. The tire also has a body ply extending from bead portion to bead portion. The body ply includes a pair of turn up portions radially outside of a respective bead portion. The tire further has a pair of wire reinforcements. Each wire reinforcement wraps around a respective bead and at least a portion of the body ply. The tire also includes a pair of reinforcement fillers. Each reinforcement filler has an inner surface in contact with an outer surface of a respective bead filler. A bottom end of each reinforcement filler is disposed radially above a top end of a respective wire reinforcement. The tire further includes an electronic device disposed radially below the apex of the bead filler of one of the pair of bead portions.
