At least one first thread is a high-modulus thread with a specified thread fineness, and another thread is a low-modulus thread, said other low-modulus thread having a lower thread fineness than the first thread. The invention is characterized in that the proportion of the high-modulus thread in the hybrid cord is 80-95 wt. %; the difference between the thread fineness of the high-modulus thread and the thread fineness of the other low-modulus thread is >800 dtex; and the elongation at break of the high-modulus thread ranges from 1%-8%, and the elongation at break of the low-modulus thread ranges from 9%-30%.

Abstract: A method is for determining a tire characteristic influencing variable and includes: a) detecting an acceleration of a measurement point on a tire inner side of a vehicle tire, wherein a deviation, caused by contact of the vehicle tire with a roadway, of the acceleration of the measurement point within an observation window is detected, b) deriving at least one analytical characteristic variable which is characteristic of the detected acceleration, wherein the at least one analytical characteristic variable characterizes the non-periodic profile of the detected acceleration within one tire rotation, c) determining at least one tire characteristic influencing variable in a manner dependent on the at least one analytical characteristic variable, wherein a mathematical mapping yields the dependency between the analytical characteristic variable and the tire characteristic influencing variable, wherein the mathematical mapping assigns at least one tire characteristic influencing variable to the at least one deriv

Abstract: A method is for determining a profile depth of a tire profile.

Abstract: A pneumatic vehicle tire for passenger cars, vans or the like has a radial carcass, a multi-ply belt, and a profiled tread that, as viewed in the axial direction, has a central portion and two shoulder portions. The shoulder portions include a rubber mixture that has a lower dynamic modulus of elasticity E? (at 55° C. and 8% elongation according to DIN 53513) than the central portion. The central portion has extensions at the base thereof, running laterally substantially parallel to the tread substructure and radially inside and across the width of the shoulder portions.

Abstract: A pneumatic vehicle tire having a radial carcass, an at least single-layer belt and a tread that is composed of two layers, a tread cap and a tread base, which are made from different rubber mixtures, in a radial direction, the tread base having a central portion and two lateral portions that extend at least in a radially outward direction from an axial perspective. The two lateral portions are made from a rubber mixture that has a lower dynamic modulus of elasticity E? at 55° C. in accordance with DIN 53513 (measured at an extension of 8%) and a lower hysteresis than the central portion of the tread base for a lower rolling resistance without worsening the handling behavior of the vehicle tire.

Abstract: The invention relates to a chassis bearing (1), in particular for the rear axle of a motor vehicle. The bearing includes an outer bearing sleeve (2), an inner bearing sleeve (3), an elastomer body (4) that is situated between the outer and inner bearing sleeves and two chambers (5, 6), which are located between the outer and inner bearing sleeves and are delimited at least partially by the elastomer body. The chambers are separated from one another and are positioned symmetrically on either side of the longitudinal axis (7) of the inner bearing sleeve. Each chamber has a stop (8, 9), which is located on a common transverse axis (10) of the inner bearing sleeve and is positioned at a distance from a corresponding counterstop surface (11, 12) inside the chamber.
