DRIVE
June 23, 2026
A tire () has improved handling and comprises a stiffening structure () comprising two stiffening elements (), each extending continuously in the toroidal interior cavity () from a crown interface () connected to a radially inner face of the crown () to a bead interface () connected to an axially inner face of the bead (). The stiffening structure () is distributed circumferentially around the entire circumference of the tire. The crown interface () is positioned, with respect to the equatorial plane (XZ), at an axial distance A at most equal to 0.45 times the axial width S and the bead interface () is positioned, with respect to a radially innermost point (I) of the axially inner face of the bead (), at a radial distance B at least equal to 0.10 times the radial height H and at most equal to 0.5 times the radial height H.
