  • Patent number: 11511571
    Abstract: Tyre (1) for heavy load vehicle wheels, having a tread band (8) comprising: —a plurality of circumferential grooves (3, 4, 5, 6); —a plurality of transverse grooves (15) extending between two axially consecutive circumferential grooves (3, 4, 5, 6), thus defining a plurality of blocks (21); —each block (21) comprising a radially outer top surface (7) and having a height (M) measured between said top surface and a bottom surface of a respective transverse groove (15); —said transverse grooves (15) comprising a first segment (16) having a width L1 and a second segment (17) having a width L2, where L2<L1; —said first segment (16) being at least partially delimited by walls of two circumferentially consecutive blocks (20, 21); —at least one filling element (18) contained within said first segment (16); —said at least one filling element (18) having a radially outer top surface (19), located radially inwardly relative to said top surface (7) of the block at a radial distance (D) between 5% and 50% of the height

  • Patent number: 9914329
    Abstract: A tire includes a tread provided with blocks formed among substantially longitudinal and transverse grooves, wherein among the blocks particularly broad intersections are formed, for example, by staggering substantially transverse grooves of circumferential rows axially in side-by-side relationship, of blocks with rounded corners, and wherein, inside such broad intersections, a stocky-shaped protrusion is arranged which has a lateral stiffness greater than the lateral stiffness of the surrounding blocks.

  • Publication number: 20100276050
    Abstract: A tire includes: a carcass structure including at least one carcass ply, a belt structure, a tread band radially superimposed on the belt structure; two sidewalls; the belt structure including: at least one pair of lateral reinforcing layers incorporating reinforcing elements oriented in a substantially circumferential direction; a first belt layer radially superimposed on the pair of lateral reinforcing layers, provided with reinforcing elements inclined with respect to the equatorial plane of the tire; a second belt layer radially superimposed on the first belt layer, provided with reinforcing elements inclined with respect to the equatorial plane in a direction opposite to those of the first belt layer; an external belt layer applied in a radially external position with respect to the first and the second belt layers. Preferably, the tire is a super single wide base heavy load vehicle tire. The tire is particularly useful for heavy load vehicles such as, for example, trucks, trailers, or buses.
