Abstract: A pneumatic tire (1) having: a toroidal carcass (2), which consists of a body ply (3) partially collapsed onto itself and therefore having two lateral flaps; two annular beads (4), each of which is surrounded by the body ply (3) and has a bead core (5) and a bead filler (6); an annular tread (7); a pair of sidewalls (11) arranged externally to the body ply (3) between the tread (7) and the beads (4); a pair of abrasion gum strips (12) arranged externally to the body ply (3) under the sidewalls (13) and at the beads (4); and a transponder (13) which is arranged in contact with the body ply (3) at a flap of the body ply (3) and is located below an edge (19) of the body ply (3) between the edge (19) of the body ply (3) and the bead (4).

Abstract: Pneumatic tyre having a toroidal carcass, which includes a body ply that is partially folded onto itself and therefore having two lateral flaps; two annular beads, each of which is surrounded by the body ply and has a bead core and a bead filler; an annular tread; a pair of sidewalls; a pair of abrasion gum strips; an innerliner which is impermeable to air and arranged within the body ply; and a transponder which is arranged between the body ply and the innerliner at a flap of the body ply. Between a radially outer end of the transponder and an edge of the body ply a first radial distance is provided that is greater than 7 mm; and between a radially inner end of the transponder and an edge of the bead filler a second radial distance is provided that is greater than 7 mm.

Abstract: A winter tire tread band having: a number of longitudinal and transverse grooves defining a number of blocks, each projecting radially upwards from a base surface of the tread band; and a number of sipes formed in at least some of the blocks, and each of which extends radially inwards of a corresponding block, from a top surface forming the rolling surface of the tread band; each sipe has a wave pattern when the corresponding block is viewed in any one of three planes perpendicular to one another and defined by a longitudinal axis, a transverse axis, and a radial axis.

Abstract: A tire tread band having a center, two shoulders on either side of the center, and two edges on either side of the shoulders and forming a transition with the sidewalls. The profile of the tread band has at least a first arc forming part of the center, two second arcs forming part of the shoulders, and two third arcs forming part of the edges; and, at one junction, each second arc is connected discontinuously to the first arc by a step, wherein the second arc is not tangent to, and is radially lower than, the first arc.
