Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Tire ( 10 ) for a heavy goods vehicle comprising a radial carcass reinforcement ( 60 ) anchored in each of the beads ( 50 ) to an anchoring structure ( 700 ), comprising a circumferential reinforcement ( 70 ), the carcass reinforcement ( 60 ) being partially wrapped around the anchoring structure ( 700 ), the tire ( 10 ) also comprising a coupling reinforcement ( 150 ) comprising a first part ( 151 ) in contact with the carcass reinforcement ( 60 ) and being extended by a second part ( 152 ) in contact with the anchoring structure ( 700 ) as far as a point ( 157 ) radially on the outside of the anchoring structure ( 700 ), located axially between the axially inner-most point ( 702 ) and the axially outermost point ( 704 ) of the anchoring structure ( 700 ), the tire ( 10 ) also comprising a stiffening reinforcement ( 160 ) surrounding the coupling reinforcement ( 150 ) and running radially on the inside of the anchoring structure ( 700 ) and of the coupling reinforcement ( 150 ), in which the axially outside end point ( 166 ) of said stiffening reinforcement ( 160 ) is located at a radial distance DR from the radially innermost point ( 73 ) of the circumferential reinforcement ( 70 ), the radial distance DR being greater than or equal to 0.8 times the radial distance DS between the radially innermost and radially outermost points ( 71, 73 ) of the circumferential reinforcement ( 70 ) and less than or equal to 1.2 times the radial distance DS.
