  • Patent number: 5524687
    Abstract: A pneumatic vehicle tire having a radial carcass and, disposed radially outwardly thereof, a belt with at least two plies that are disposed one above the other in a radial direction. Each of the belt plies contains individual filaments of metal wire that are disposed parallel to one another. Each of the filaments, within a circumferential plane, extends at an angle to the circumferential direction of the tire from one belt side that axially delimits the belt to the other belt side that axially delimits the belt, with the individual filaments of two radially superimposed belt plies being respectively oriented diagonally and crossed relative to one another. The individual filaments have a wavelike or helical configuration in the circumferential plane, and have amplitudes that in the circumferential direction are distributed in a random manner.

  • Patent number: 5099901
    Abstract: A pneumatic vehicle tire where the sheathing of the bead core ring is made of an elastomeric mixture that adheres well to steel and that contains plasticizer in the form of aromatic oils comprising approximately 2-10 parts silicon oil per one hundred parts elastomer. As a result, the bead core ring sheathing does not fuse with other rubber mixtures and the bead core has a high ability to turn.

  • Patent number: 5050658
    Abstract: A pneumatic vehicle tire for use on a one-piece wheel rim having radially inwardly disposed rim shoulders on which corresponding bead portions of the tire are mounted. The tire bead portions have bead rings that are formed of flat strips, whereby the longest dimension of the cross-sectional configuration of the flat strips is parallel to the direction of a run-flat force, thereby fixing the greatest angular impulse force parallel to the run-flat force. This reliably prevents the tire bead from being thrown from the rim, especially during emergency operation.
