  • Publication number: 20230234399
    Abstract: The invention relates to a pneumatic utility vehicle tire of a radial type of construction, in particular for trucks, buses, and truck trailers, which has a four-ply or multi-ply belt (4) comprising a barrier ply (5), two working plies (6, 8) and a 0° ply (7), wherein steel cords (10) are arranged in the 0° ply (7), comprising at least two strands (11) each with at least 6 steel filaments (12), and wherein twisting causes each strand to have an identical first twist angle ? and the steel cord to have a second twist angle ?. The invention is distinguished in that the steel cord (10) of the 0° ply (7) has the construction 2 to 4×n×d, with n=6 to 8 and with d=0.15 mm to 0.

  • Publication number: 20230158836
    Abstract: A pneumatic vehicle tire of radial type of construction for utility vehicles, in particular trucks, buses and truck trailers, having a belt which has three or more belt plies (5, 6, 7, 8, 9) with steel cords (10), wherein each steel cord (10) has at least two strands (11) and wherein each strand (11) has at least two steel filaments (12); the invention is characterized in that steel cords (10) of the construction 2 to 4×N, where N=2 to 5, are at least arranged in one of the belt plies (5, 6, 7, 8, 9), wherein this construction means that this steel cord (10) has 2 to 4 twisted-together strands (11), wherein each strand (10) comprises 2 to 5 steel filaments (12) which are twisted together such that these 2 to 5 steel filaments (12) are arranged without a core filament.
