  • Pneumatic tire having discontinuous outer carcass ply
    Patent number: 5435370
    Abstract: An improved radial tire is reinforced with at least two carcass plies of radial rubberized cords wherein a radial inner or first ply extends continuously from one bead portion to another bead portion through the sidewall areas and across the crown of the tire and a radial outer or second ply in continuous contact with the inner ply has two sections disposed such that the second ply is discontinuous or interrupted in the crown area. The second ply is also foreshortened in the bead portion of the tire rather than being wrapped around the bead. An inner liner is also in constant contact with the inner ply from bead portion to bead portion without being wrapped therearound.
