  • Patent number: 11565550
    Abstract: A tire for a two-wheeled motorized vehicle includes a tread joined by two sidewalls to two beads, the tread having first and second elastomer compositions, crown reinforcement, radially inside tread having a crown layer having mutually parallel circumferential reinforcers forming an angle at most equal to 5° to the circumferential direction, a carcass reinforcement, radially inside crown reinforcement, having turnup. Carcass reinforcement includes mutually parallel reinforcers, and wrapped, in each bead, from the inside to the outside of the tire, about bead wire in order to form turnup having free end E2. Carcass reinforcement includes crown portion and lateral portion, crown portion extending axially between first and second ends E2, E?2, E2 and E?2 being symmetric to equatorial plane P of the tire, lateral portion extending symmetrically to equatorial plane P radially towards the inside, from radially outermost end E2 to fourth end E4 disposed at the bead wire.

  • Publication number: 20190084357
    Abstract: Tire for a two-wheeled motorized vehicle of the motorcycle type, comprising a tread (2), of width L, joined by two sidewalls (3) to two beads (4), said tread comprising first and second elastomer compositions, crown reinforcement (5), radially inside tread (2) comprising a crown layer comprising mutually parallel circumferential reinforcers coated with an elastomer composition and forming a substantially zero angle and at most equal to 5° to the circumferential direction, a carcass reinforcement (6), radially inside crown reinforcement (5), comprising turnup (61) and having thickness M. Carcass reinforcement (61) comprises mutually parallel reinforcers coated with an elastomer composition, and wrapped, in each bead (4), from the inside to the outside of the tire, about bead wire (7) in order to form turnup (8) comprising free end E2.

  • Patent number: 9849729
    Abstract: A tire having a crown reinforcement (5), comprising at least one crown layer (51), and a carcass reinforcement (6), comprising at least one turned-up carcass layer (61), the turned-up carcass layer (61) comprising mutually parallel reinforcers turned up, within each bead, from the inside towards the outside of the tire around a bead wire (7), to form a turn-up (8) comprising a free end (E). The turned-up carcass layer (61) comprises a crown portion (611) and a lateral portion (612), the crown portion (611) extending axially between a first and a second end (E1, E?1) which is symmetric about the equatorial plane (P), the lateral portion (612) extending radially inwards, from a first end (E2) as far as a second end (E3). The reinforcers of the lateral portion (612) and the reinforcers of the turn-up (8) form, with the circumferential direction (X), specified angles.

  • Publication number: 20170326916
    Abstract: Tire (1) for a motorized two-wheeled vehicle of the motorbike type. A good compromise between the stability of the motorbike in a straight line at high speed and the stability of the motorbike in a curved path with a high camber angle is achieved with reinforcers of a first carcass layer (61) that form, with the circumferential direction (XX?), an angle (A1) at most equal to 75°, the reinforcers of a second carcass layer (62) form, with the circumferential direction, an angle (A2) at least equal to 80° and at most equal to 90°, the difference between the angles (A1, A2) of the respective reinforcers of the first and second carcass layers (61, 62) is at least equal to 10° and at most equal to 20° and the angles (A1, A2) of the respective reinforcers of the first and second carcass layers (61, 62) are oriented in the same direction.

  • Publication number: 20150144241
    Abstract: A tire having a crown reinforcement (5), comprising at least one crown layer (51), and a carcass reinforcement (6), comprising at least one turned-up carcass layer (61), the turned-up carcass layer (61) comprising mutually parallel reinforcers turned up, within each bead, from the inside towards the outside of the tire around a bead wire (7), to form a turn-up (8) comprising a free end (E). The turned-up carcass layer (61) comprises a crown portion (611) and a lateral portion (612), the crown portion (611) extending axially between a first and a second end (E1, E?1) which is symmetric about the equatorial plane (P), the lateral portion (612) extending radially inwards, from a first end (E2) as far as a second end (E3). The reinforcers of the lateral portion (612) and the reinforcers of the turn-up (8) form, with the circumferential direction (X), specified angles.
