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: The present invention relates to a tyre (1) comprising:—a carcass (5);—at least one high elongation belt (1, 2, 3, 4), being applied as a single cord externally to said carcass (5); and—an external tread portion (6), provided with two or more grooves (7) extending according to a circumferential direction (L) around said tread portion (6), wherein the axial width (Wg) of at least one of said grooves (7), measured according to an axial direction (A) parallel to an axis of rotation (R) of said tyre (10) and orthogonal to said circumferential direction (L), is at most equal to 2 millimeters.

Abstract: Tyre comprising a carcass, a belt package and a tread; said tyre comprising at least a reinforcement net made of a weaved textile material having a number of meshes ranging from 3 to 20, and wherein the threads are oriented between 25° and 65° relative to a longitudinal axis (X) of the tyre; said reinforcement net being arranged at least in the area of a centre of the tread and positioned inside the belt package or between the belt package and the tread; said weaved textile material having an elongation at break equal to or greater than 10%; said reinforcement net having a shorter transverse extension than the one of the belt package.

Abstract: A curing station for curing a tread strip, having a flat curing mold; a gripper which grips a portion of the cured tread strip inside the curing mold; an actuating device which, at the end of the curing process, moves the gripper to gradually extract the cured tread strip from the curing mold; and a guide device which, as the cured tread strip is extracted, is positioned over the curing mold, and has a main roller, about which the extracted part of the cured tread strip winds, and a secondary roller smaller in diameter than, and positioned parallel to and alongside, the main roller.
