Abstract: A TBR pneumatic tyre comprising a carcass, a tread and at least one “high elongation belt” formed from a single cord with a laying angle ? of between 0.03° and 0.1° and comprising an axial extension CW wherein the ratio thereof to the axial extension of said tread (TW/CW) is between 1.1 and 1.4. The tread is made of a rubber compound comprising a cross-linkable unsaturated chain polymeric base comprising at least 50% by weight of natural rubber (NR), a mixture of fillers comprising (a) a carbon black having a surface area of between 99 and 170 m2/g and with a structure of greater than 120 cc/100 g, (b) a first silica having a surface area of less than 100 m2/g, and (c) a second silica having a surface area of more than 190 m2/g.

Abstract: A TBR pneumatic tire of a driving wheel comprising a tread having a design such as to confer an average tread slip of less than 0.5 mm and a tread points slip range of between 0.07 mm and 1.17 mm. The tread is manufactured with a compound comprising a cross-linking unsaturated chain polymer base comprising from 40 to 80% by weight of a stirene-butadiene rubber (SBR), a filler comprising from 40 to 80% by weight of silica and a vulcanization system.

Abstract: A rubber compound for treads comprising a styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), carbon black and a vulcanization system. The filler comprises 5 to 30 phr of a thermoplastic polymer, preferably polylactic acid, having a Tg ranging from 50 to 70° C., a molecular weight (Mw) not exceeding 200,000 g/mol and a crystallinity not exceeding 0%.
