Abstract

A pneumatic safety tire having a pair of annular elastomeric reinforcements applied to tire carcass, each reinforcement having an intermediate portion which is located at a position corresponding to the junction of sidewall and tread. Each reinforcement extends toward both the tire equator and the corresponding one of tire beads, while gradually diminishing its thickness as it extends away from the intermediate portion. The maximum thickness of the reinforcement is 3 to 15% of the maximum tire section width under inflated condition.
