Abstract: A pneumatic vehicle tire having a radial carcass and, disposed radially outwardly thereof, a belt with at least two plies that are disposed one above the other in a radial direction. Each of the belt plies contains individual filaments of metal wire that are disposed parallel to one another. Each of the filaments, within a circumferential plane, extends at an angle to the circumferential direction of the tire from one belt side that axially delimits the belt to the other belt side that axially delimits the belt, with the individual filaments of two radially superimposed belt plies being respectively oriented diagonally and crossed relative to one another. The individual filaments have a wavelike or helical configuration in the circumferential plane, and have amplitudes that in the circumferential direction are distributed in a random manner.

Abstract: A vehicle tire of a radial carcass construction with a low cross-sectional profile having a tread portion that is reinforced by a belt layer is provided. The tread portion comprises two circumferential tread element bands in a center portion of the tire tread and a respective tread element row on the shoulder portion. The tread element bands are separated from one another and from the tread element rows in an axial direction of the vehicle tire by respective wide and deep circumferential grooves that have straight edges. The tread element bands have notches that are distributed in a circumferential direction of the vehicle tire and are oriented at a slant relative to a center plane of the vehicle tire. The notches begin at the circumferential grooves and end within the tread element bands. The tread element rows comprise transverse tread elements that are separated from one another by continuous transverse grooves and are arranged transverse relative to the tread element bands.

Abstract: A vehicle tire of a radial carcass construction with a low cross-sectional profile having a tread portion that is reinforced by a belt layer is provided. The tread portion comprises a plurality of circumferential tread element bands in a center portion of the tread portion and one shoulder tread element row on either side of the center portion. The tread element bands are separated from one another and from the tread element rows in an axial direction of the vehicle tire by respective circumferential grooves that have straight edges. The tread element bands have notches that are distributed in a circumferential direction of the vehicle tire and are oriented at a slant relative to a center plane of the vehicle tire. The notches start at the circumferential grooves and end within the tread element bands. The shoulder tread element rows comprise tread elements that are separated from one another by transverse grooves and are arranged transverse relative to the center plane of the tire.

Abstract: A vehicle wheel on which can be mounted a pneumatic tire which essentially includes rubber or rubber-like synthetic material, and has a carcass with load-carrying cords which are anchored in the bead regions of the tire via inextensible core rings. The wheel has a rigid rim with laterally outwardly disposed rim flanges; disposed axially inwardly of these rim flanges on the radially outer side of the rim are seating surfaces for the tire. To minimize disrupting effects on the tire tread, while at the same time improving the emergency operating conditions, a support member is disposed axially inwardly of the seating surfaces on the rim. This support member has a diameter which is greater than the diameter formed by the rim flanges. In the region of a given rim flange, the tire wall extends laterally outwardly from a given core ring in a substantially flat manner, and in particular in an angular range of from 0.degree. to 20.degree. relative to the axis of rotation of the tire.

Abstract: In combination, a vehicle wheel which has a rigid, one-part rim, and a belted pneumatic tire having a single-ply or multiple-ply carcass and substantially inextensible and/or tension resistant core rings in the beads. The rim has rim flanges and, adjacent thereto, seating surfaces for the belted tire. To permit simple mounting of the tire, there is proposed that, in the position of the mounted tire, the distance from the center of a core cross-section to the bead edge facing the seating surface is greater than the distance to the axially inner bead edge, so that the core ring is eccentrically mounted in this region of the bead.
