Abstract
Tire comprising a crown reinforcement comprising two working crown layers having unequal axial widths. Layer C of rubber compound is placed between ends of the working crown layers. Second layer S of polymer compound is in contact with at least one working crown layer and the carcass reinforcement, which comprises a layer of circumferential reinforcing elements arranged radially between two working crown layers. Distance d between the end of the axially narrowest working layer and the working layer separated from it by layer C is 1.1ø<d<2.2ø, ø being the diameter of the reinforcing elements, in a meridian plane. Second layer S is made up of a filled elastomer blend having a macro dispersion coefficient Z≥65 and a maximum tan(δ) value less than 0.100. Its complex dynamic shear modulus G*, measured at 10% and 60° C. on the return cycle is greater than 1.35 MPa.
