Abstract

Disclosed is a belted tire for vehicles, which comprises a toroidally curved body of elastic material with a tread surface at the outer periphery and a peripherally extending annular belt construction which is embedded as an insert in the elastic material of the body in the region of the tread surface and which comprises two parts, namely a peripheral belt for peripheral stiffness and a transverse belt for transverse stiffness, wherein the peripheral belt has a number of annular strength supports which are arranged in laterally spaced juxtaposed relationship in at least one plane and which extend in the peripheral direction of the body, and the transverse belt has at least one transverse bracing strength support which extends approximately over the width of the tread surface and which is embedded in the elastic material in parallel relationship and at a spacing from the peripherally extending strength supports of the peripheral belt, and wherein the transverse belt is stretchable in the peripheral direction of the tire at least as much as the strength supports of the peripheral belt.
