The tyre, consisting of a tread connected to two beads (2) by side walls (6), has each bead fitted with a reinforcing ring (3) and reinforced by a radial carcass (1) made up of two or more axial layers (1A - 1D) with textile reinforcing elements. The tyre, consisting of a tread connected to two beads (2) by side walls (6), has each bead fitted with a reinforcing ring (3) and reinforced by a radial carcass (1) made up of two or more axial layers (1A - 1D) with textile reinforcing elements. Of the axial inner layers at least half pass round the reinforcing ring (3), while between one and three layers have their ends located beneath a straight line (X - X') lying parallel to the tyre's axis of rotation and inside a line (Y - Y') perpendicular to the axis of rotation and passing through the centre of gravity (O) of the reinforcing ring's cross section. The carcass reinforcement is completed by at least one outer layer (1E, 1F) of a textile reinforcing material, extending along the side walls and covering the turned over edges (10C, 10D) of the inner layers.
